Looking
for a creative way to teach or reinforce the days of the week while reviewing
emotions in Spanish? I ‘m always looking for ways to reinforce what has been learned
already because repetition helps students remember what has been taught. Implementing old material with new is a good
idea in order to keep students always engaged and helps them to not forget.
So
for teaching the days of the week in Spanish while reinforcing emotions, I decided to use a well known
tune by kids. The tune for this little activity is: “She’ll be
coming round the mountain”

So
here is what I do:
Children sit in a circle. I start
singing the tune of the song she’ll be coming round the mountain using the days
of the week in Spanish. I use a drum to keep a rhythmic beat. I will write the
words here and the part where students get a chance to express the emotions in
Spanish. (At the end is a sample of the song so you can hear it and have
a better idea)
So here go the words:
Teacher sings: Hoy es
domingo, domingo, domingo, ¿cómo estás?
Student
responds: ¡Estoy
feliz! (Or they can choose any emotion they want. I’m just choosing one as an
example)
Teacher sings: Hoy es
domingo, domingo, domingo, ¿cómo estás?
Student
responds: ¡Estoy feliz!
Teacher sings: Hoy es
domingo, domingo, domingos, hoy es domingo, domingo, domingo, hoy es domingo, domingo, domingo, ¿cómo estás?
Student responds: ¡Estoy feliz!
*****************************************
Teacher sings: Hoy es
lunes, lunes, lunes, ¿cómo estás?
Student responds: Estoy triste
Teacher sings: Hoy es
lunes, lunes, lunes, ¿cómo estás?
Student responds: Estoy triste
Teacher sings: Hoy es
lunes, lunes, lunes, hoy es lunes, lunes,
lunes, hoy
es lunes, lunes, lunes, ¿cómo estás?
Student
responds: Estoy triste
And so on using all the days of the
week and they can use different emotions. For each day of the week I ask a
different student. Go around the circle until all the students have gotten a
chance to participate. Here is a short sample of what I just explained)
My students really enjoy this little
activity. For some reason they love saying they are “enojado” or “enojada”
The different emotions students can
use and can be found in my free product called caritas are:
feliz, triste, enojado(a) aburrido (a) asustado (a) sorprendido (a)
cansado (a)
You can have the little emotion
faces (caritas) on the floor in the middle of the circle and have each student
pick up the one that represent the emotion they choose. Encourage students to
show facial expression with each emotion! They so love it!
I hope you find this idea helpful.
