Spanish Explorers: A Complete Course for Kids

What's your teaching style?

I like to base my lessons on the students' needs and apply strategies that fit them.





How much will learners get to interact with you (mention specifics like: lecture, games, slides, video clips, discussion)?

Students will be able to play Bingo, Kahoot, watch videos, and do many activities connected to the topic.




What will be taught?

I will teach Spanish as a second language to children aged 6 to 8. The focus will be on foundational vocabulary, basic grammar, and conversational skills to help them understand and use the language in everyday contexts.

Each class will last about 25 minutes and follow a predictable, child-friendly routine:

Warm-up and greetings

Introduction of new content

Practice through songs, games, and visuals

Interactive activities (movement, drawing, role-play, etc.)

Review and wrap-up



How will you teach?


I use a play-based, multisensory approach that keeps children engaged through music, visuals, movement, and stories. I aim to make each lesson fun, interactive, and developmentally appropriate, encouraging participation and creativity while introducing cultural aspects of the Spanish-speaking world.


Important note: The topics presented may not follow the assigned order, I tend to make changes when I see the needs of the students.
