Your students have heard or sung all these Christmas Carols before. Now it is time that they sing them in Spanish!
We have created class activities around these Christmas songs in Spanish. Did you know that your students can practice the ordinal numbers in Spanish with Doce días de Navidad (The Twelve Days of Christmas)? Rodolfo el reno (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer) is a good and quick practice for the present and the imperfect! Other songs are great to introduce vocabulary for the family, Winter and the Nativity scene.
