Goodbye Song: 5 Minutes
A fun way to end every Spanish lesson, and even the school day is by singing the YouTube song Adiós by María Fernanda y Sus Amigos! The song repeats four times, which gives children lots of chances to practice and join in with confidence.
Before you begin, show your students the simple motions for each part of the song. Adding actions makes the song more exciting, helps children remember the words, and gets their bodies moving.
-
Preschoolers and older: Stand up and do the motions.
-
Toddlers: Stay seated and act out the movements with their hands and bodies.
By the fourth time, your students will be smiling, singing, and saying “¡Adiós!” like little Spanish stars! ⭐🎶🇪🇸
To give you an idea of how you can teach the Goodbye song in your class, watch the two short videos that show teachers singing and acting out the song with their students.
Song Lyrics: Adiós Amigos, Adiós
The song repeats four times. The first time, sing it at a normal tempo, the second time, sing it slowly, and the third and fourth times, sing it quickly.
