6 Spanish Songs for Kids to Sing Along With
1. Song: Jungle Safari
Album: Music, Movement, Magination: Early Spanish Adventures
This song is perfect for classroom or home use. The silliness factor is very high, which absolutely delights kids. Kids will quickly learn the Spanish words for 6 different animals all while getting to act out the movements and sounds. The only downside is your kids will likely want to listen to this one on repeat and be insistent that you move and sing along with them every time.
2. Song: Let’s Talk About The Weather
Album: Sing and Dance for Spanish Smartypants
This song already has a great call-and-response set up built in, making this an excellent choice for a teacher/student or parent/child sing-a-long. The song has a surfer-vibe that will get kids pumped up about learning 7 useful weather phrases. Parents and teachers will have to get a little goofy while leading the song, which will of course make children love this activity even more.
3. Song: Opuestos/Opposites
Album: Ms. Blanca Spanish & English Sing & Learn
This is a very simple song that will teach kids about opposites. It’s slow enough to allow them to latch onto the words, which will help them commit them to memory as they sing along.
4. Song: Itchy, Itchy Cuerpo
Album: Music, Movement, Magination: Early Spanish Adventures
Teaching parts of the body couldn’t be easier or more fun than it is with this song. Children can stand up, sing along, and scratch each part of their body as they learn the corresponding Spanish word. Students will likely be more giggly than itchy, but they will certainly enjoy wiggling around while they sing along!
5. Song: Había un Sapo
Album: ¿Qué pasa con la música?
This is a very short but catchy song. The video has some pretty interesting visuals that might be a bit strange for the adults (I’m fairly positive that a Super Mario background flash by at some point…) but the fast-paced visuals and rhythm make it a hit with kids who love to dance around while they sing.
6. Song: Learning AR verbs and Learning ER/IR Verbs
Album: Sing and Dance for Spanish Smartypants
These are actually two different songs, but they are sister-songs. They have the same tune, so children will immediately latch onto the music, but one song focuses on AR verbs only while the other tackles some common ER/IR verb. Each song teaches 9 commonly used verbs and conjugates it in the present-tense nosotros form. The song is set up in a way that allows children to act out the verbs as they sing along, making it an all-around active and educational experience.
