Teacher tip
Use only Spanish for these seven commands for a whole week. Kids learn them fastest by hearing them used for real.
How to use it
- Use the Spanish commands for real all day: siéntense, escuchen, levanten la mano.
- Walk the school and name the places in Spanish.
- Say every Spanish word out loud and have kids echo it before they read or write it.
Watch for
Mixing up the one-person commands (siéntate) and the class commands (siéntense).
Talk about it
- Which commands do you hear every day?
- Does this word look like an English word you know?
