El Dia de los Enamorados
Te quiero mucho
In honor of el Dia de San Valentín, I would like to share words, phrases, and activities you can learn with your children and express your love! A great way to reinforce Spanish with your children is to keep the learning natural and relevant. If you plan on making Valentines or decorations this year, incorporate some bilingual fun!
Expressions of love:
te quiero mucho- I love you very much
te amo- I love you
mi amor- my love
el corazón- heart
eres mio- you are mine
eres especial- you are special
el beso- kiss
bésame- kiss me
Bilingual Valentine Activities:
*Cut out little corazones in different color construction paper. Reinforce color vocabulary in Spanish.
*Make a list of family members of whom you want to send Valentines. Make homemade cards and reinforce family vocabulary in Spanish. Write 'querida prima' or 'querido abuelo'.
*Count candy hearts. Sort by color and count in Spanish. Older kids can do adding/subtracting problems using the dulces. Reinforce number vocabulary by asking ' ¿cuántos hay?'.

The bilingual valentine activities are a great idea. Thank you. I'm going to try some of these activities at home. We have three girls ages 2 to 6 at home and I'm doing my best to teach them Spanish. Please check out our blog which chronicles our experiences teaching our girls Spanish.
