In this activity you will learn to recognise your first Spanish words and sounds, and you will learn to sing a Spanish song. You will experience learning using actions and through creative activities such as drawing pictures.

LEARNING GOALS

WHAT DO YOU LEARN?
You learn your first Spanish words, sounds and a song. Spanish is a member of the Romance family of languages and has its origins in Latin. The song is a historical song from the 18th century when the country had to choose a new king. The boy in the song would love to help the king. You learn to ask yourself questions like: What do I dream of? What would I love to do?

HOW DO YOU LEARN?
You learn with your feelings and your mind: you want to be able to sing and understand as much of the song as possible. You stick at it and persevere.

INFORMATION FOR THE SUPERVISOR

GUIDELINES

BEFORE THE ACTIVITY:
Start the lesson together. Explain to the pupils what to do with PDF1, cutting out the pictures, and with the internet page.

DURING THE ACTIVITY:
Check the pupil knows how to click to the next page and how to restart the website. Furthermore, it is self-explanatory.

ANSWERS / SOLUTIONS:
The lyrics of the song are on attached PDF2. During the song, listen to check if they can sing the last word of each sentence. In 1.2a, pupils may be able to say what they would like to do/be. In 1.2b they draw a picture of treasure that they would like to find underwater. Drawing 1.2c includes a story from the children about what they would love to do – they make a wish. Finally, you can check the pictures and the corresponding Spanish words together with the pupil using PDF3.

EVALUATION AFTER THE ACTIVITY:
Sing the song with all the pupils who worked on it. Discuss the drawings in the group. Play around with the pictures to find out which words they already know in Spanish. Ask if they would like to learn more Spanish this way. Complete the evaluation form together. Pay attention to the pupils’ reactions.
