“Los Pollitos” is one of those traditional songs that everyone who grew up in a Spanish speaking country knows from childhood. It’s catchy, cute, and fun so I make sure to teach it every year to my Kindergarten students. I am sharing some ideas that I use while teaching this song.
Use TPR while teaching the song. I like using American sign language, or I sometimes create the gestures along with my students. Click on the links below to see some of the signs for the song:
Make props to use while singing the song. Download them HERE!
After singing the song, your students can color a simple page related to the song.
I’ve had the chance in previous schools to have real chicks in the classroom and sing the song to them. We don’t have real pollitos now, but I still have fun teaching this song.
There are different versions of the song on YouTube. Choose the one you like or think works best for your classes.
I am trying to follow the link to the song lyrics, but it only brings me to the main page of your blog. I frequently have this issue with your blog. Is there something I should be doing differently? I am simply clicking. Thank you!S
