 2. Here are some of our experiences and reviews! Los Pollitos
When my granddaughter was two years old, she used to call us. She wanted to sing "Los Pollitos" to me. You can find this children's classic in most of the
collections of songs that we are recommending.
It is perfect for hand gestures. These gestures are ideal for language learning because they imprint the sense of the words as the child recites.
The text is: (translation follows)
Los pollitos dicen pío, pío, pío
La gallina busca el maíz y el trigo;
Pío, pío, pío
Translation:
The little chicks say peep, peep, peep
The chicken looks for corn and wheat;
Right off the bat here is something you kids will like and which will actually teach them the Spanish vowels. Since the vowels in Spanish are regular, very young kids will be able to play this spelling word game.
This is a song of John H. Crosby of hevanet.com that teaches and re-enforces las vocales y las sílabas to teach children Spanish. It is sung to the tune of "If You're Happy and you Know it Clap your Hands":
Las vocales en español sí sé.
To do syllables: (whatever consonant you want to use)
La 'm' con la 'a' dice 'ma'
With older kids you can teach them the Latinamerican school rhyme: "a, e, i, o, u: el burro sabe más que tú"
There are many reasons for wanting your children to learn Spanish. We want to help you find resources that will help you with Spanish for Kids.
Some parents are interested in preparing their children for life in today's world where it is important to know more than one language. This is even more important in our hemisphere where it becomes increasingly valuable to know Spanish.
Other people think of the intellectual
stimulation that learning a language provides. They think that
they can give their children a an additional intellectual challenge in a painless way.
Researcher in London, England have determined that learning a second language
boosts brain power which remains throughout life.
Learning a language can be a source of pride and self esteem for the child who is fortunate enough to be exposed to learning outside of the classroom.
There are some parents who are concerned that their children grow up respecting the different heritages that surround them. Concerned that the nativist tradition of United States history is always present, many parents, not of a Spanish Speaking background, choose to prepare their children to accept and embrace the Hispanic culture they live alongside of.

Pinpón es un muñeco,
Pinpón dame la mano,
Translation:

Another favorite of our kids was "La Mar Estaba Serena"
Kids like this one because it is easy to follow. The repetition helps them learn the relation between noun and adjective as well as the vowels in Spanish.
"¡con e"! "Le mer estebe serene; serene estebe le mer".
You'll find the kids really like this one.
