Singing songs in Spanish; fun for babies up to preschooler age
We sing nursery rhymes and action songs together and each song has accompanying pictures and lyrics. The lyrics help the parents to join in so even if you don't speak Spanish when you start you will be able to sing in Spanish by the time you stop! Some children mainly listen whereas some begin to associate the pictures and words and are very active participants. Some sing along, and some flick through their books or play their instruments; they all absorb language in their own way so don't worry if your child does his or her own thing!
Meeting termtime and weekly on Wednesdays at Cartlands tearoom (Covid-allowing) we sing songs and play instruments, all the while encouraging acquisition of Spanish sounds, vocabulary and even some phrases. Lots of fun for newborns up to pre-schoolers and their parents and grandparents!
If Covid disturbs plans this class will be streamed on zoom for those who wish to participate.
The Long Version:
Spanish Gemma is a mum living in Kings Heath, Birmingham, UK.
As a child I was taught Spanish and Catalan by my Spanish mum and as a result understand what it's like to be thought of as English by my Spanish family and Spanish by English friends and family. In fact Spanish Gemma is how some children referred to me at school !
As a mum I now interpret the positive asects of having a dual identity for my children, teaching them Spanish and playing games and doing craft along the way.
The short Version:
I am a CRB/DBS-checked billingual mum of two with a degree in Hispanic Studies.
