Watch and listen to this fun song and go over numbers in Spanish.
Make sure you invent a dance to go with the song!
Games play a big part in a child’s learning of a foreign language.
Learn the rhyme “Pito pito gorgorito”, which is the Spanish equivalent of “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe” and use it as often as you can to decide who is starting a game, who is helping out, etc. You will definitely need it for your Lesson 6 Cultural Activity!
Pito, pito, gorgorito,
¿dónde vas tú tan bonito?
a la era de la abuela,
pim, pam, fuera.
