How to use this song with your child

  1. 1

    Count the “hola”s

    “hola” means “hello” and comes up on 5 lines. Keep count on your fingers together; older kids can try to predict when it's coming next.

  2. 2

    Pause between the call and the answer

    The song moves back and forth between English and Spanish. On a second listen, pause after an English line and let your child try the Spanish answer before the song sings it.

  3. 3

    Make it a routine

    At 2:40, play it once a day at the same moment for a week. Act it out with two soft toys: one says the Spanish line, the other answers.
