Hola Parents!
You should feel very proud for introducing your child to Spanish while they attended preschool. But did you know that the kindergarten and elementary years are also ideal for introducing your child to a new language? It's all about starting early! You gave them a foundation, now it's important to continue building on their knowledge. One way to get started is to spend 5 minutes a day teaching your child the following compliments. We make it easy for you, no matter your starting level. The best part is that you'll be learning the compliments too, so you can chat away with your child in Spanish! Pretty cool, huh!

Get your kiddo ready for a fiesta of compliments in English & Spanish!
1. Complimenting each other
|
Who doesn't love a sweet compliment? It's even better in Spanish! Here's a tip: grab the compliments poster to your right and tune in to the audio file. Together with your little one, point to the compliments as they are taught and repeat and sing them out loud and proud! Attach the poster to your refrigerator with a magnet. It will serve as a visual reminder to compliment each other in Spanish throughout the day!
You can play an easy game to practice the compliments. All that you need is a ball. Sit on the floor with your children. Toss the ball to each child and say one of the compliment words. They must toss the ball back to you and repeat the same compliment. See how many times you can do this without letting the ball drop to the floor! Start complimenting each other at home whenever the opportunity arises...and compliment each other in Spanish everywhere you go, at the grocery store, at the park, when you're picking them up from school, etc. Ready to dive in? Hit play on the audio track and learn how to say "fabulous," "that's great," and "awesome!" in Spanish! Let's do this! |
