![]() Use these New Music Question Cards to chat about music and to discuss songs you listen to. If you want to chat about these songs in Spanish, check out the new blog post Talk About Music in Spanish Class. Or if you want multiple options for each country, you could get the culture slides bundle. Learn more about using these travel slides in this blog post. *Update you can get the newest 2023 country slides in my shop or on TPT. ![]() You could combine it with your song of the day slideshow to really dig deeper into each place for Hispanic Heritage Month. I created slides that have the country, capital, nationality, two maps, flag, and a video for all 22 Spanish-speaking places. 6-10 minutes – Country of the day – adding in travel videos too – NEWīy request, in addition to playing a song each day, some teachers wanted to do more to introduce each country of the day. If using it as a brain break, I would let students walk around, dance, and move, just as long as they are watching and listening. If you would rather have more control over when your brain breaks, just plan to play this song at a good breaking point. (Usually, that person picks the song, but during this month you could just play the next song). They yell Cantaninja! and everyone stops what they are doing to watch the song of the day. Using Martina Bex’s Cantaninja procedure, you can have a student pick when during each class the song is played. Or you can use the free voting form to have students self-reflect on the song of the day. Depending on the level, you can also evaluate the song, from a basic “(no)me gusta” in level 1, to a more elaborate critique in upper levels. You can quickly mention where the song is from, using a map to show where in the world it is. Use the first 3-5 minutes of each class during HHM to play a 1 song for Para Empezar. I bet the tradition will continue after October 15 as well □ 3-5 minutes – Para Empezar Class Starter This would work great for Hispanic Heritage Month, playing HHM7 version for 2022 each day. Her students are VERY into it and come to check the song before they even have class. As soon as the bell to start class rings (or the song ends), the song is turned off and no instructional time is used. She writes the song and artist on the board and plays it as soon as the bell to end class rings. My English teacher BFF next door picks one song each day to play loudly in her room during our four-minute passing time. 0 class time – Song of the day Transition for Hispanic Heritage Month Here are ideas of how you can use these songs this year, from the least time commitment to the most. How can I use this 1 song from each country slideshow for HHM? ![]() Since then, I have created a new version each school year including version #3, 2019 version #4 & the 2020 version #5, HHM6 version for 2021 & the NEWEST HHM! Many teachers started using my 1 song from each Spanish-speaking country slide as a bracket in their classrooms. When I posted about my HHM fall Spanish class music bracket on social media, the idea took off. ![]() But, the next year with I used HHM version 2, I decided to use it as a Hispanic Heritage Month music bracket. That would give the chance to specifically focus on each country. My original idea was to play one song each day of HHM. It has 22 songs, one for each of the school days from September 15-October 15. While on maternity leave in the fall of 2016, I created a popular resource, 1 Song from each Spanish-speaking country. One Song From Each Spanish-Speaking County I did a post with a lot of ideas for HHM here Hispanic Heritage Month, but was on maternity leave the entirety of September 15-October 15 when I posted it. It is a great time to specifically celebrate the diverse cultures of the Spanish-speaking world. It goes way back to my original ideas of música miércoles & baile viernes in 2014, as well as the very popular yearly March music bracket mania musical.Įarly in my career as a Spanish teacher, I realized I need to do a better job celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month in my Spanish classes. You all know I have been posting about using authentic music in Spanish class for years. ![]()
