Nursery rhymes are truly important for your child’s development. It’s not just fun and catchy, it allows children to develop an ear for language. By listening to sounds and syllables in words, they are improving their memory as well as their listening, speaking and reading skills. How amazing is that! Nursery rhymes are a great resource to introduce your child to a new language. Today we would like to recommend five fantastic nursery rhymes that are wonderful to teach your child Spanish.
“La cucaracha, la cucaracha,
ya no puede caminar
no tiene,
porque le falta
las dos patitas de atrás.”
“ Yo conozco una vecina
que ha comprado una gallina
me parece una sardina enlatada. “
“Arroz con leche,
me quiero casar
con una señorita de La Capital
sepa coser que sepa bordar
que sepa abrir la puerta para ir a jugar.
Con ésta sí con ésta no,
con esta señorita me caso yo”
“Estaba la pájara pinta
sentada en su verde limón
con el pico recoge la rama
con la rama cortaba la flor.”
We couldn’t not mention our own nursery rhymes. Our songs were created by a team of experts in early age education. They were made to be educational but also super fun! Children will learn new words without realising it!
“Adiós,
Adiós,
Hasta pronto,
Adiós,
Adiós,
Pasadlo muy bien.”
