Fun at Home

Would you like to practice Spanish with your child at home?

In the fields to the right, click on your child's class level, school, and teacher, and the unit currently being studied will show. Click on "Go to Home Practice for this unit" to see activities you can do at home with your child to complement and reinforce what they are studying in class. You will find the vocabulary sheet for the given unit, and games and songs for home practice. All games are designed to be created with simple materials and will be learner directed, so that the parent does not need to know much, if any Spanish.

You can play songs from our new Spanish Song CD, and print out the Song Booklet that includes both Spanish lyrics and their English translation. Then, you can click on Games and get a complete list of Spanish games with descriptions to play with your child. Also try out the Riddles and Tongue Twisters!

Next, you can go to Vocabulary Lists, click on the curriculum level and you will get a complete list of vocabulary sheets for the given level. The Vocabulary List will feature not only the words written in Spanish, but there will also be a phonetic spelling and an English translation.

Also, visit the newest additions to the Fun at Home page: Spanish alphabet Pronunciation guide, Basic Spanish Verb Conjugation Guide, Cook with your child at home (with culturally relevant recipes), a section about Famous Hispanics, and Dichos = Spanish Sayings.

We hope you will enjoy it all and that studying at home with your child will be fun and beneficial not only to your child but also to you, as a parent. If you have any comments, suggestions for additions, any recipes or fun facts you think other parents or students might like, please email us at kidsspeakspanish@juno.com.

Enjoy!
