Resources to Teach the Four Seasons in Spanish




Teaching the seasons in my classroom is an ongoing part of the school year. We focus on every season during the season that it occurs. I did not think to teach it in its own lesson but got inspired by some materials I found. This post is dedicated to some resources I found to teach the seasons in Spanish. They can be used individually, or to combine to teach a specific lesson on the four seasons. 

Videos:



That video inspired me to find videos that explicitly taught the seasons.


This video is great because it not only repeats the seasons but it gives you different chunks to teach the words in context. A simple exercise to do while watching this video would be to teach the students the seasons and have them repeat the season after they hear it in the songs with some kind of motion attached to each season.



I like the repetition again in this video as well. She also translates a lot of the things she says which is helpful when you have lots of new words. 


Music:

Here are some of my favorite songs on the seasons:



Games:


Though the language can be tough for young language learners. Playing this game online from mySpanishgames.com by reading the words out-load to a class can be really engaging:

In this simple worksheet, students would color the images on the right and cut them out to match the correct season the image belongs to.
