Why did I make these printables in Spanish?

Why in Spanish?

For starters, my blog is centered around raising bilingual children, and since I am raising my son in Spanish, I like to make Spanish printables that I can use for him at home.

Also, before I started making my own printables, I realized how few fun and seasonal Spanish resources that are available, so I thought it would be fun to add a printable component to my blog!!!

So, while the titles of these fun printable Christmas mazes are in Spanish, they are meant for everyone to enjoy a little language love this Christmas!

What is included in this Christmas maze printable kit?

They full-sized worksheet mazes with fun Christmas-themed mazes with wonderful designs from RebeccaB Designs.

The different mazes include a witch hat, a ghost, a candy corn trick or treat and a bat theme.

The next best thing you can buy your emergent 5-year-old reader and writer this year is books!

Last night, my son and I were watching the new Halloween movie on Netflix, “The Curse of Bridge Hallow” and I can’t stop thinking about a quote that the father in the movie said when his daughter asked him why he never learned how to ride a bike. He said something along the lines of; ” My mama never taught me how to ride a bike because she told me that books will take me wherever I need to go.”

Books are so important, so buy your 5-year-old boys some books this Christmas and spend some quality time reading to them!

Pogo sticks are great for exercise and they are even used in extreme sports. Cool, huh?

Christmas Color by Sight Word Free Printables in Spanish

Children will love working on these colors by sight word worksheets in Spanish. I selected the sight words from this list of free printable high-frequency words. This list includes some of the most commonly used Spanish words found in children’s books.

Once these high-frequency words become memorized by a child, they become sight words, or words immediately recognized upon sight.

These Christmas worksheets will help turn high-frequency words into sight words, which will facilitate teaching children how to read in Spanish.

This download includes six printable color by sight word sheets in Spanish. Each page has a color code that is matched to a high-frequency word, all in lowercase letters.

This fun activity is a handy no-prep activity that requires little materials and can be done at home, or in the classroom. These pages will make learning how to read and write fun!

All you have to do is subscribe to my newsletter at the end of this post, print out these colors by sight word pages in Spanish and get coloring with your child.

*When you subscribe to these free printable color by sight word pages, you will get the first TWO pages for free in the Free Spanish Printable Library.

You can purchase all seven pages from my Etsy or TPT shop for $3.97.

Materials needed for these Christmas Color by Sight Word Free Printables in Spanish

For these color by sight word free printables in Spanish you will only need a handful of supplies.

8.5 x 11 printer paper or card stock
A printer to print out the PDF file.
Coloring utensils such as crayons, markers or even watercolor paints!
Your child!

How to use these color by sight words Spanish printable worksheets.

These color by sight word Spanish printables are super easy to use!

Each of the six pages comes with an abstract black and white image. On the top of the page, there is a code matching a particular color to a certain keyword. The code will tell the children which colors to color each high-frequency or sight word.

If your child is new to reading and writing, then these words might not quite be sight words yet, but after this activity, they might just become sight words.

If they are not familiar with these words in Spanish, I recommend discussing the words in each code before each activity, as well as the colors in Spanish that they will use for each word.

You can talk about the word and use it in example sentences.

One way I like to focus on new high-frequency words with my son Lennox is to pick two or three vocabulary words at a time and find them throughout a book.

For example, the other day, we were working with the word “the” in English. As we read an English picture book, I read each sentence and pointed along with my finger. Every time we passed the word “the”, I would emphasize it. Lennox was in awe at how many times it appeared in the book.

Then, we played a game and I asked him to raise his hands every time we passed the word to keep his attention on it.

Now he is very familiar with the word the and it is not one of hisfavorite sight words.

We do this with our books in Spanish, too.

One fun way to learn the sight words in these Christmas color by sight words printables is by choosing one of the following Christmas books in Spanish and do just what I mentioned above!

Then, you can return to the coloring pages, and they will be able to recognize the sight-words with more ease.

Next, with coloring supplies, have them use the correct color to fill in their picture.

After they finish coloring all of the sight words in, they will reveal a fun Christmas hidden picture!

Stay tuned for more Christmas sight word games in Spanish coming soon!

24+ Spanish Christmas YouTube Videos For Kids

Lorena — Sun, 25 Sep 2022 23:03:36 +0000

Let’s get the kiddos in the espíritu navideño this year with these Spanish Christmas YouTube videos for kids.

In these Youtube videos, you can find entertaining, dance-along villancicos (Christmas carols), as well as short Christmas videos in Spanish for the kiddos to watch.

You can also become familiar with popular YouTube channels in Spanish for kids that you can put on for your littles throughout the whole year!

Enjoy y ¡feilz Navidad!

Share on Pinterest!

Why watch Christmas YouTube videos in Spanish?

In our bilingual household, we try to keep screen time to a minimum, but when we do use screen time we put it in our minority language, Spanish.

With all of the streaming devices nowadays, it makes keeping screen time in Spanish super easy.

Disney, Netflix, Hulu, and almost every device have an option to change the audio to Spanish, or any other language, as well as add subtitles.

And if you don’t have those applications, then you can also resort to YouTube which is free and has a plethora of Spanish videos for children. We watch a lot of our seasonal shows and videos on YouTube.

Today, I am going to share some of our favorite Spanish Christmas videos on YouTube with you in the hopes of getting you in the Christmas spirit and maybe you can learn some more Spanish as a family as well!

Spanish Christmas Villancicos YouTube videos for kids

To start this collection of Spanish Christmas YouTube videos, I will begin with some popular and traditional villancicos or Christmas carols.

Play these videos, learn their tunes and add these Christmas songs in Spanish to your next Christmas playlist!

Then, in the following section, I will add some more Spanish Christmas Youtube videos that the kiddos will enjoy!

“Rodolfo el reno”

Below are two fun videos of the popular Christmas carol “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, or in Spanish, “Rodolfo el reno”!

This first video is by Mundo Canticuentos, a Colombian YouTube channel that produces engaging content for children.

This second video of Rodolfo el reno is by the Spanish YouTube channel Peque Música.

“Hoy es Navidad”

This next video is titled “Hoy es Navidad”, but you might also find this similar tune titled “Cascabel, Cascabel”, “Navidad, Navidad” or “Jingle Bells.”

This video is by the Mexican YouTube channel ChiquitinesTV

Here are the lyrics below in case you want to sing along too!

“Hoy es Navidad“

Campanas por doquier resuenan sin cesar
Proclaman con placer que hoy es navidad
Los niños ya aquí están, no dejan de cantar
De este día de amor y buena voluntad

Navidad, navidad, hoy es navidad
Es un día de alegría y de felicidad (hey)
Navidad, navidad, hoy es navidad
Es un día de alegría y de felicidad

El niño de Belén nos trae la salvación
Con júbilo sin par, se entona la canción
Yo te amo, mi Jesús, a ti te cantaré
En este día tan feliz me regocijaré

Navidad, navidad, hoy es navidad
Es un día de alegría y de felicidad (hey)
Navidad, navidad, hoy es navidad
Es un día de alegría y de felicidad

Here is another version of “Jingle Bells” in Spanish by Argentine Channel Plim Plim.

I love this original take of the “Jingle Bells” by my absolute favorite YouTube Spanish Channel, El Reino Infantil.

This song is called “Todos juntos estaremos” (we will all be together) with lyrics about a farm family spending Christmas together! How sweet and entertaining for the littles.

Let’s not forget about La familia Blu, a Reino Infantil family, and their take on Jingle Bells this Christmas.

“Navidad en la granja”

Here is another Christmas song about la granja by El reino Infantil called “Navidad en la Granja.”

“Los peces en el río”

“Los peces en el río” is a traditional Christmas song in Spanish. The video below is by Mundo Canticuentos.

“Que Linda La Navidad”

Also by Plim Plim, Argentinian YouTube channel, we have an original Christmas carol with a sticky tune.

“Mi burrito sabanero”

“Mi burrito sabanero” is a traditional Christmas villancico about a little donkey making his way to Bethlehem. This video is by the Mexican YouTube channel HeyKids

“Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad”

“Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad” also known as “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” The video is by ChiquitinesTV.

“Feliz Navidad a Todos”

“Feliz Navidad a Todos” is the Spanish version of “We Wish You A Merry Christmas” produced by El Reino Infantil.

“Campana sobre campana”

This villancico is a traditional Andalusian song and one of the most famous Spanish Christmas carols. In this song, heavenly angels ring the bells of Bethlehem, inviting all to join with the Shepherds to see Christ, child, in the manger.

“Noche de paz”

“Noche de paz” is the Spanish version of “Silent night.” Here is another video by Canticuentos.

“A Jugar en Navidad” – El Reino Infantil

“Llegó la Navidad” – El Reno Infantil

36+ Christmas Songs in Spanish: Spice Up Your Holiday Playlist Esta Navidad

Lorena — Mon, 19 Sep 2022 18:27:21 +0000

Inside: The ultimate list of Christmas songs in Spanish from all over Latin America, as well as popular American Christmas classic songs translated and performed in Spanish.

Who doesn’t love Christmas music? I know I sure do.

Come November 1st, if you enter my house, you will find Christmas songs on blast.

However, they might not be the typical Christmas songs one might expect, because in my bilingual household, we listen to Christmas music in Spanish!

While some of the Christmas songs we listen to might have a familiar tune, simply with Spanish words, the majority of the Christmas songs in Spanish that we listen to don’t even really sound like Christmas songs, in the jingle bell, cheery sense.

Some Christmas songs in Spanish have a melancholic mariachi feel, or a cumbia beat that will get you on your feet.

Have you heard of any of these Christmas songs that I am referring to?

If not, I want you to hear them today!

That’s why today, I want to share the ultimate list of Christmas songs in Spanish that you can browse through and add to your Christmas playlist this year!

Enjoy and ¡felices fiestas!

Get the Spotify playlist for these songs here! Like and share with all your friends and family.

Translated Classic Songs in Spanish

I will begin this list of Christmas songs in Spanish with popularized American Christmas classics like Jingle Bells or Let it Snow that are translated into Spanish.

Why am I adding these songs? First starters, these songs are catchy and popular on a global scale, so I want to share their Spanish comparisons.

Secondly, you can use these songs to learn more Spanish.

Did you know that one of the ways I became fluent in Spanish is through music? You can too with these Christmas songs in Spanish by listening to them on repeat and learning the lyrics. Or, you can go the extra mile like I did by printing out the lyrics and dissecting them. Learn more about how I did in this post here.

After the Christmas classics, I want to dive into traditional Spanish Christmas songs. These songs might add a little spice to your Christmas playlist going forward.

“Feliz Navidad”

We cannot start with any other song than this bilingual classic “Feliz Navidad” written by José Feliciano, Puerto Rican musician, singer and composer. He wrote this song with the hopes of uniting people with the song’s bilingual cheer and lyrics.

Written in 1970, Feliz Navidad is one of the most-played Christmas songs in the world!

Below is a video from 2016. I love this version with José Feliciano and FaWiJo!

“Noche de Paz”

“Noche de Paz” in the Spanish version of “Silent Night”, a Christmas carol composed in 1818 by German Franz Xaver Gruber.

Below are the lyrics in Spanish:

Noche de paz

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor.
Entre los astros que esparcen su luz
Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús
Brilla la estrella de paz
Brilla la estrella de paz.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor
Sólo velan en la oscuridad
Los pastores que en el campo están;
Y la estrella de Belén
Y la estrella de Belén.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor;
sobre el santo niño Jesús
Una estrella esparce su luz,
Brilla sobre el Rey
Brilla sobre el Rey.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,
Todo duerme en derredor
Fieles velando allí en Belén
Los pastores, la madre también.
Y la estrella de paz
Y la estrella de paz.

My favorite version of “Noche de Paz” is by Andrea Bocelli, Italian tenor and multi-instrumentalist. All of his music is just breathtaking. I’ll leave the video below.

I also like this version of “Noche de Paz” by Luis Miguel, Mexican singer of Spanish and Italian descent.

Furthermore, I LOVE this bilingual version of “Noche de paz” by Mary J. Blige and Marc Anthony.

“Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad”

“Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad” is the Spanish version of “Santa is Coming to Town.” Luis Miguel has a classic version, however I love this take (see video below) by Mexican regional band Grupo Firme. It’s fun, upbeat, and gets you to your feet!

Here are the lyrics to the song:

Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad

Sabes mi amor, pórtate bien
No debes llorar
ya sabes por qué
Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad

Él todo lo apunta, él todo lo ve
Y sigue los pasos estés donde estés
Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad

Te observa cuando duermes
Te mira al despertar
No intentes ocultarlte de él
Pues siempre te verá

Él sabe de ti
Él sabe de mí
Él lo sabe todo
No intentes huir
Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad

Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad
Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad

Te observa cuando duermes
Te mira al despertar
No intentes ocultarlte de él
Pues siempre te verá

Él sabe de ti
Él sabe de mí
Él lo sabe todo
No intentes huir
Santa Claus llegó
Santa Claus llegó
Santa Claus llegó a la ciudad, hey

“Blanca Navidad”

“Blanca Navidad” is the Spanish version of “White Christmas.”

My favorite version is by Mexican artist Alejandro Fernández and his two daughters América and Camila Fernández.

Below you can find the lyrics and the video to this Christmas song in Spanish:

Blanca Navidad

Oh, blanca Navidad, sueño
Y con la nieve alrededor
Blanca es mi quimera y es mensajera
De paz y de puro amor

Oh, blanca Navidad, nieve
Un blanco sueño y un cantar
Recordar tu infancia podrás
Al llegar la blanca Navidad (ah-ah, eh)

Oh, blanca Navidad (Navidad), sueño
Y con la nieve alrededor (nieve alrededor)
Blanca es mi quimera y es mensajera
De paz y de puro amor

Oh, blanca Navidad, nieve
Un blanco sueño y un cantar (un cantar)
Recordar tu infancia podrás
Al llegar la blanca Navidad

“Cascabel, Cascabel”

“Cascabel, Cascabel” is the translated version of “Jingle Bells”, the all-time kids’ favorite Christmas Carol.

You might also find this song translated as “Navidad, Navidad.”

Here’s a fun fact about the song Jingle Bells— Written in 1857 by James Lord Pierpont, “Jingle Bells” was not originally written as a Christmas song. It was originally sung in Sunday schools or even as a drinking song. In the 1860s and 70s it became associated as a fun winter and Christmas song and to this day it is one of the most popular American songs in the word.

Below is a kids video of Cascabel, Cascabel on YouTube.

“Rodolfo el reno”

I bet you guessed what this song is? If you guessed “Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer”, you’re right!

Below is my favorite version by Mexican norteño quartet group, Los Dos Carnales and the lyrics.

Rodolfo el reno

Esta melodia
Un regalo especial para todos los niños,
Se llama Rodolfo el reno
¡Feliz navidad!

Era Rodolfo un reno, que tenía la nariz
Roja como un tomate y de brillo singular
Todos sus compañeros se reían sin parar
Y nuestro buen amigo, no paraba de llorar

Pero Navidad llegó y Santa Claus bajó
Y a Rodolfo lo eligió por su singular nariz
Tirando del trineo, fue Rodolfo sensación
Y desde aquel momento, toda burla se acabó

Era Rodolfo un reno, que tenía la nariz
Roja como un tomate y de brillo singular
Todos sus compañeros se reían sin parar
Y nuestro buen amigo, no paraba de llorar

Pero Navidad llegó y Santa Claus bajó
Y a Rodolfo lo eligió por su singular nariz
Tirando del trineo, fue Rodolfo sensación
Y desde aquel momento, toda burla se acabó

Pero Navidad llegó y Santa Claus bajó
Y a Rodolfo lo eligió por su singular nariz
Tirando del trineo, fue Rodolfo sensación
Y desde aquel momento, toda burla se acabó
Toda burla se acabó
Toda burla se acabó

“El niño del tambor”

This song is the translation of “The Little Drummer Boy” written in English by Katherine Kennicott Davis in 1941. This song is about a little poor boy who makes a living with his drum.

This song was interpreted in Spanish by Raphael, a multilingual Spanish singer and actor in 1967.

Below you can find the lyrics and the video:

El niño del tambor

Rom pom pom

El camino que lleva a Belén
Baja hasta el valle que la nieve cubrió
Los pastorcillos quieren ver a su Rey
Le traen regalos en su humilde zurrón
Rom po pom pom, rom po pom pom

Ha nacido en un portal de Belén el niño Dios

Yo quisiera poner a tus pies
Algún presente que te agrade, Señor
Mas tú ya sabes que soy pobre también
Y no poseo más que un viejo tambor
Rom po pom pom, rom po pom pom
En tu honor frente al portal tocaré con mi tambor
Así

Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom

El camino que lleva a Belén
Yo voy marcando con mi viejo tambor
Nada mejor hay que te pueda ofrecer
Su ronco acento es un canto de amor
Rom po pom pom, rom po pom pom

Cuando Dios me vio tocando ante él me sonrió

Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom
Rom pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom
Rom pom pom, rom po pom pom

Va a nevar

This is the translated version of “Let is Snow” by Laura Pausini, Italian singer. She has a divine Christmas album in Spanish I highly recommend checking it out. It includes the songs: Blanca Navidad, Santa Claus Llegó a la Ciudad and more!

Va a nevar

Las tardes ya son más frías
Pon tus manos entre las mías
Y siempre está por llegar
Va a nevar, va a nevar, va a nevar

El fuego ya está prendido
Anda, ven a gozar conmigo
Muy pronto en este lugar
Va a nevar, va a nevar, va a nevar

Cuando llegue el amanecer
Las montañas serán de cristal
Cada pino va entretejer
Hilos de color de sal

El cielo se está nublando
Y en tus ojos, me estoy mirando
Mi vida no hay más que hablar
Va a nevar, va a nevar, va a nevar

Hey
Pi-riri-tiri-rata
Tara
Cuando llegue el amanecer
Las montañas serán de cristal
Cada pino va entretejer
Hilos de color de sal

El cielo se está nublando
Y en tus ojos me estoy mirando
Mi vida no hay mas que hablar
Va a nevar, va a nevar
Ooh

“Mamacita Dónde está Santa Claus”

I’m sure you have heard of this fun bilingual Christmas song in Spanish and English by Augie Rios. This song came out in 1958.

Traditional Christmas Songs in Spanish

Now that you know a few more classic American Christmas songs translated into Spanish, let’s dive into some traditional Christmas carols, otherwise known as villancicos in Spanish. Below you can find some more popular traditional Christmas songs in Spanish, their origin and lyrics. Further down I will separate Christmas songs further by genre.

“Campana sobre campana”

Below are the lyrics and the video interpreted by Pandora, a Mexican musical trio.

Campana sobre campana

Campana sobre campana,
Y sobre campana una,
Àsómate a la ventana,
Verás al Niño en la cuna.

Belén, campanas de Belén,
Que los angeles tocan,
¿Qué nuevas me traéis?

Caminando a medianoche
¿Donde caminas pastor?
Le llevo al Niño que nace,
Como Dios mi corazón.

Campana sobre campana,
Y sobre campana dos,
Àsómate a la ventana,
Porque esta nanciendo Dios

Si aún les estrellas alumbran
¿Pastor, donde quieres ir?
Voy al portal si el Niño
Con El me deja dormir.

“Los peces en el rio”

Los peces en el río, translated as Fish in the River, originated in Spanish by an anonymous author. The song does not have an exact date, but it popularized in the second half of the 20th century.

What differentiates this song from other popular carols like Silent night and Campana sobre campana is that this song talks about the Virgin Mary and the care she gives to her newborn son.

I love the following rendition by Mexican banda group Banda El Recodo.

Los peces en el río

Pero mira cómo beben los peces en el río

Pero mira cómo beben por ver al Dios nacido
Beben y beben y vuelven a beber
Los peces en el río por ver a Dios nacer.
La Virgen está lavando
Y tendiendo en el romero
Los pajaritos cantando
Y el romero floreciendo.

Pero mira cómo beben los peces en el río
Pero mira cómo beben por ver al Dios nacido
Beben y beben y vuelven a beber
Los peces en el río por ver a Dios Nacer.

La Virgen se está peinando
Entre cortina y cortina
Los cabellos son de oro
Y el peine de plata fina.

Pero mira cómo beben los peces en el río
Pero mira cómo beben por ver al Dios nacido
Beben y Beben y vuelven a Beber
Los peces en el río por ver a Dios nacer.

“Mi burrito sabanero”

“Mi burrito sabanero” is a Venezuela villancico written in 1972 by Hugo Blanco. It’s about a little donkey on his way to Bethlehem. Over the years it has been covered by many artists, but I must say, my favorite version is by Colombian singer, songwriter Juanes.

Below are the lyrics and the video:

Mi burrito sabanero

Con mi burrito sabanero, voy camino de Belén
Con mi burrito sabanero, voy camino de Belén
Si me ven, si me ven
Voy camino de Belén
Si me ven, si me ven
Voy camino de Belén

El lucerito mañanero ilumina mi sendero
El lucerito mañanero ilumina mi sendero
Si me ven, si me ven
Voy camino de Belén
Si me ven, si me ven
Voy camino de Belén

Con mi cuatrico voy cantando, mi burrito va trotando
Con mi cuatrico voy cantando, mi burrito va trotando
Si me ven, si me ven
Voy camino de Belén
Si me ven, si me ven
Voy camino de Belén

Tuki tuki tuki tuki
Tuki tuki tuki ta
Apúrate, mi burrito
Que ya vamos a llegar
Tuki tuki tuki tuki
Tuki tuki tuki tu
Apúrate mi burrito
Vamos a ver a Jesús

Con mi burrito sabanero, voy camino de Belén
Con mi burrito sabanero, voy camino de Belén
Si me ven, si me ven
Voy camino de Belén
Si me ven, si me ven
Voy camino de Belén

“Navidad sin ti”

Navidad sin ti came out in the year 1987 by Mexican artist Marco Antonio Solis. The song is about a man that is sad without his partner in December.

The following video includes the lyrics.

“Ven a mi casa esta navidad”

Released in 1973 by Argentine Luis Aguilé.

“Así es la navidad”

“Así es la navidad” by Mexican singer, composer and actress is one of my favorites. Her raspy voice really touches my soul!

“Te Regalo”

For another contemporary Christmas song in Spanish, check out “Te regalo” by Colombian singer, songwriter and actor, Sebastián Yatra.

‘Llegó la navidad”

I’m LOVING this urban take on a contemporary Christmas song by Ozuna, a Puerto Rican singer. I have a feeling this one will be all over the radios soon.

Mexican Christmas Songs in Spanish

In the next couple of sections, I want to share some Christmas songs in Spanish from two popular categories of Latin music: Traditional Mexican music and Tropical Latin Christmas Music.

“Oye Santa Claus”- Los Dos Carnales

I am absolutely loving this song by Mexican norteño quartet, Los Dos Carnales. Through this traditional corrido song, you can experience the clash of two cultures as the artist sings about the jolly old red man that skipped past his poor Mexican barrio year after year and yet, the children still wait every year with hope. A sad reality, relatable reality for many people.

If this song reaches your heart, then I insist you check out some of Los Dos Carnales’ other songs. Each of their songs fills my body in goosebumps with their honest descriptions of reality.

Another great Christmas corrido by Los Dos Carnales is “Tristes Navidades” which also represents the reality of what Christmas was like in their barrio pobre.

“24 de Diciembre” by Mexican singer, songwriter and actor Juan Gabriel.

“Navidad de los pobres”

By popular Mexican, Los Tigres Del Norte this is a melancholic song to show how sometimes the humble poor enjoy the holiday season in a different, more beautiful way.

“Arbolito de navidad” by José Hernández founder of Mariachi Sol de México

“Regalo de Reyes”- Javier Solis. This song is a bolero, a type of romantic love song. The lyrics often reflect themes of bittersweet, unrequited love.

“Ritmo navideño”- by Mexican norteño band, Los Tucanes de Tijuana.

Tropical Christmas Songs in Spanish

The next couple of Christmas songs in Spanish come from the tropical genre of Latin Music. Tropical meaning that it comes from Spanish-speaking areas in the Caribbean, including Cuba, Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic, and Carribean Costal regions of Colombia and Venezuela.

Some of the popular genres included in tropical Latin music are Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, Cumbia and Vallenato.

“Eterna Navidad” by Cuban Group La Sonora Matancera featuring Celia Cruz. This band was founded in 1924 and played a mix of urban dance music.

Merengue Christmas Songs in Spanish

The next few upbeat Merengue Christmas songs in Spanish will have everyone up and dancing at your next Christmas party!

“Prende el arbolito”- La Makina – A Dominican band formed in the 1990s

“Me huele a fiesta” – Eddy Herrera (Dominican)

How to Play this Christmas game IN SPANISH?

This game of bingo is super straightforward to play! Let’s do a quick rundown of how to play this fun holiday activity.

First, print off the different bingo cards and bingo sheets, I recommend laminating them so you can save them for future use!

Then, cut out the laminated cards.

Once the Christmas vocabulary cards are cut out, place the different cards face down in a pile or in random order.

Give each player a bingo mat.

Then in order (youngest to oldest/ clockwise/ however you choose) pick up a card from the pile. Have the person picking up the card say what card they have in Spanish.

Have each player use their bingo markers to mark Christmas words on their own bingo cards.

Lastly, all players with the selected vocabulary card on their bingo sheet, should mark it with a bingo chip.

The first player to fill their card wins!

Is this not the perfect game for class parties or some home language fun?

Tips to get maximum language use from this Christmas Bingo game in Spanish!

To make sure you get the absolute most language use out of this Bingo game, state the rule that the family is only allowed to speak in Spanish!
If the child flips a card and does not know the word of the image on the card, help them out with the pronunciation.

Then, you can ask questions or say phrases such as:

“¿Quién tiene el ____? “

“¡Solamente mamá tiene la ______!”

“¡Wau, todos temos los ___!”

Repeating phrases like this to include the vocabulary word with help the new Spanish vocabulary stick!

Allow your child sufficient time to process the card that has been chosen, and to identify the object on their card. Try not to interject or speed up their finding process. Doing so might confuse the child or discourage participation.
