This is a special FREE online class presented by KidPass Live Stage (https://kidp.as/live). KidPass Live Stage is a free livestream series that is open for the community and showcases many of the incredible classes and instructors on KidPass.
In this top-rated Spanish Immersion class children are introduced to basic concepts like animals, colors, numbers and vowels through the universal language of Music. The class is fun, active and engaging.
A selection of Children Songs in Spanish guides each class from start to finish. Activities are related to the lyrics, in order to familiarize the children with the words and their meanings. Some of the songs encourage the children to dance. Nilda uses puppets, musical instruments, and props to teach children basic vocabulary through action and interaction, rather than through translation.
