A Festive Learning Adventure
Our workshop welcomed families to explore the holiday season through interactive, bilingual activities designed to teach spatial concepts, colors, festive vocabulary and descriptive language—all in Spanish! Here’s what made the day so special:
-
Interactive Puppet Show: The event opened with a delightful puppet show by Happy Show, complete with enchanting snow effects and a special visit from Santa. The kids were mesmerized, picking up festive vocabulary while enjoying the magic of the season.
-
Christmas Arts and Crafts: Children and parents worked together to create festive decorations, learning new Spanish words like "triángulo" "estrella" and "verde" as they crafted ornaments and holiday displays.
-
Spanish & English Songs and Dancing: A lively session of singing and dancing brought holiday cheer and helped kids practice pronunciation and rhythm bilingually.
-
Parent-Child Collaboration: Families engaged in hands-on decorating activities, practicing festive vocabulary and crafts in Spanish like saying "esfera" "mi color favorito es" and "arbolito de Navidad" Playing 'guess the color' and describing their creations made learning feel natural and fun.
-
Gifts from Santa: The day ended with a magical surprise as Santa handed out gifts, leaving every child with a smile and a sense of accomplishment.
Learning Through Festive Fun
The workshop’s focus on practical application helped children and parents use language in meaningful ways. Activities like building a colorful Christmas tree and describing decorations encouraged kids to speak Spanish confidently in a relaxed, joyful setting.
One parent shared:
“Thank you so much, the event was amazing and my kids had a blast! They loved all the learning activities, I was so happy to see them using their Spanish and we can't wait for the next one.”
