Tips for parents

• Do every action together. Hearing the Spanish word and moving to it is the whole point.
• Play freeze: stop the song and everyone freezes, then call out an action word to restart.
• Clear a little floor space first so nobody has to hold back.

Kids show they understand by doing the move, so you can see it working without any quiz. Moving also keeps energetic children engaged for the whole song.

19 key words and phrases, including saltar (to jump), correr (to run), parar (to stop), rápido (fast), bailar (to dance), música (music), mover (to move), conmigo (with me). The full list is above, and every song page shows the complete lyrics with translation.

Are the Spanish action songs free?

The lyrics, translations and word lists here are free to read. Playing the songs is part of Premium, which you can try free for 7 days. The first unit, greeting songs, is free forever.

How long are the songs?

Between 1:24 and 3:00 each, about 12 minutes for all 5. Short enough to replay, which is where most of the learning happens.
