A Bailar! (Let's Dance!) Spanish Learning Songs CD

Whistlefritz Spanish is a user-friendly option to bring full-immersion Spanish to young children using learning songs and engaging videos. Cheerful, catchy songs teach colors, numbers, animals, family and more. The main character is a festive little mouse named Fritzi. A mix of animation and real people delight children in the videos, all while using only Spanish. Parents are not expected or required to know any Spanish themselves, but you are likely to learn some new vocabulary!

VIDEOS are available as a digital download or as DVDs (while supplies last). Each 25-minute immersion DVD contains a variety of short scenes including live action, animation and puppets. The series features plenty of repetition, slower-paced conversation, and an easy-to-follow format that is helpful for parents and kiddos. Several short songs are included as well. The videos were created in the following order from first to last: LOS ANIMALES, VAMOS A JUGAR, ADENTRO Y AFUERA, LAS ESTACIONES, and LA FIESTA DE FRITZI. If you have a child of 3 or under, the publisher recommends starting with LOS ANIMALES and watching the videos in order. If you have a child older than 3, they recommend starting with ADENTRO Y AFUERA, then circling back to the earlier videos.

MUSIC is available as a digital download or as CDs (while supplies last) and have themes kids love! Singers are native Spanish speakers with a variety of accents. A translation guide is included. Let children move to the beat, listen in the car, or just have the music on in the background as they play. They will remember the vocabulary easily!

CARD GAME The Spanish Matching Cards game is a fun way to practice vocabulary and has a little fox character named Rito demonstrating the words, as well as the printed word with pronunciation help. The 50 cards can be turned face down to play a matching game.

LESSONS are available in print or accessed digitally for 1 year. Your Educator's Streaming Service gives you unlimited access to all of Whistlefritz’s Spanish-learning videos and music for kids AND digital downloads of the Spanish Lesson Plans curriculum, Matching Memory Cards and Spanish Home Educator’s Guide. 

If you want a more formally presented lesson, the Educator’s Spanish Collection includes the Spanish Lesson Plans for Kids (also sold separately), music and videos for a parent/teacher to follow guided lessons. Parents have shared that this course is challenging if you don’t know some Spanish yourself. The plan book contains 40 lessons using creative and interactive projects like making puppets, trying new recipes, making play dough, and drawing pictures of family. Each new lesson refers back to past learning, helping the new vocabulary and phrases stick. The lessons guide a parent/teacher, telling them exactly what to say and do. The pronunciation help comes from the videos (make sure you know the correct pronunciation too, so you model it correctly). In the lesson plan book are vocabulary words to have your student repeat and practice. These lessons reference specific videos in the series. Expect each lesson to take 30-40 minutes, including the videos and activities. You are only watching a part of a video for each lesson. Scripted lessons mean very little planning for you!
