The weather is caliente.. el verano is here! We LOVE seasonal changes because that means it’s time for a NEW THEME!
Whether we need to brush up, learn, or review our Summer Spanish Vocabulary Words, it’s always great to have fresh words and activities to go with them!
Kids love themes and it helps boost their retention for learning new vocabulary. Take advantage of the summer season and get started! Great resources, like coloring pages, games (like Lotería- Bingo), and other vocabulary/writing activities (like Beach Day Fun- Un Día en La Playa), not only engage and target skills but also make it fun!
