Lesson plans

One lesson plan per song, ready for the classroom: purpose, materials, opening, main activity, closing, what to observe and adaptations so no one is left out. Free to print and adapt to your group. The songs are in Spanish; every plan glosses the lyrics in English.

How they work

The video is watched once, as a model. Then everyone sings and plays without a screen.
Assessment is by observation: each plan says what to watch for while children play, with no grades.
Each one includes adaptations for younger children, for children who communicate with pictures, for children who need to move less and for children who speak another language at home.
