Bring your feet, we are going to dance to Spanish music

Do you need a song that reviews basic vocabulary and gives you a chance to introduce action verbs?  You are going to love Traigan sus pies by Joel Valle from our Mi guitarrí: Spanish songs for kids CD.

Here's a song that encourages students to bring:

  • their feet to play, 
  • their mouths to sing,
  • their ears to listen, 
  • their eyes to look, 
  • their hands to clap
  • their bodies to dance.
Guess what?  Once you've sung along with Joel, you'll be able to make up your own verses.  What fun!  Some our our favorite additional verses include:

Traigan sus kayaks que vamos a remar.  
A todos los niños les gusta remar.
Yo remo, yo remo, yo remo sin parar. (X2)

According to Wikipedia, Hispanic Heritage Month "is the period when people recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans to the United States and to celebrate Hispanic heritage and culture."

Use http://www.hispanicheritagemonth.gov/ as a resource to find out more about National Hispanic Heritage Month. I also encourage you to check your local listings for events happening between now and October 15th.

School is in session!

It’s that time of year again. Whether in public or private school, Homeschool or preschool everyone has school on the brain. Learning is in the air. Parents and educators are always looking for new material to keep learning fun.

While watching my 3-year-old daughter and nephew dance around to the Mi Guitarrí Spanish for kids DVD yesterday, I was reminded how easily kids learn! It’s so much fun for them to learn the Spanish alphabet, Spanish days of the week, Spanish months, colors, etc when it’s to music. Even if they aren’t singing the songs, they are being exposed to another language and culture. As a parent who isn’t fluent in another language it is so important to me that my children begin learning a second language now.

Praise for a Great Spanish Kids Music CD


Here's a note from a satisfied customer.  You will love our Mi Guitarrí music resources as well!
Erica, I originally found the "Colores, colores" song when searching for "Spanish Color Song" on YouTube. I am teaching my 21-month old son Spanish, and I wanted to find some kids songs in Spanish. I feel like I hit the gold jackpot in finding you guys! I LOVE the dvds. I ordered two and gave one to my good friend who is a Spanish teacher. I'm giving one CD I ordered to my son's preschool teacher who also does some Spanish. I have watched some of the dvd with my son, and he loved them. THANK YOU so much for doing this!  It is exactly what I was looking for. I hope you make more!  - Sarah G., Austin, TX
