Kids Can Learn Spanish! Spanish for Children
I just got a call from my two year old granddaughter. 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 po, po, po
cuando tienen hambre,
y cuando tienen fro.
(the kids make gesture of shivering)
La gallina busca el maz y el trigo;
Le da su comida,
Y le presta abrigo
(the kids make the gesture of Mom hugging her kids.)
Po, po, po
(the kids should ham it up, making a little chick face!)
Translation:
The little chicks say peep, peep, peep
when they are hungry
and when they are cold.
The chicken looks for corn and wheat;
she feeds them,
and she keeps them warmn
There are many reasons for wanting your children to learn...
