Book excerpt: Spanish Lesson Plans for Kids is an activity- and content-based curriculum that immerses young learners in the Spanish language. Developed by professional educators with over forty years of combined teaching experience, this 40-lesson scaffolded curriculum engages learners in stimulating, language-infused activities that are fun and age-appropriate, including content-rich instruction in math, science, art, and physical education. Beginning with Lesson 1 Who am I?, the lessons follow a logicial progression of thematic units (Colors, Numbers, Shapes, Places, Around the House, Clothing, Seasons, Parts of the Body, Positional Words, Food, Family, Animals, and Descriptive Words), culminating in an activity that combines games, food, music, and crafts. The lessons identify clear goals and learning objectives and include play-based assessments of learners' developing proficiency. Extension activities offer students additional learning opportunities and cultural experiences as they dance and sing to music from across the Spanish-speaking world. Informed by language acquisition theory, Spanish Lesson Plans for Kids emphasizes the development of student proficiency in speaking and listening through the use of the target language in real world contexts. An adventure in learning for teachers and students!
