I have written about Presencias de Música in the past, but I visited again recently and was so impressed that I have to share it again. The site is maintained by a group of volunteers, under the direction and supervision of Prof. Pablo Bensaya of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The purpose of the site is to provide resources for music education to teachers in Spanish-speaking countries, but it is a wonderful resource for anyone teaching Spanish to children.

This selection of language activities and materials is a useful resource for anyone teaching children Spanish in a classroom or at home. The page is part of the Northumberland Grid for Learning (Northumberland, England), and it has a variety of materials in Spanish, French and German. Many of them are based on animated stories with native-speaker audio.

I recently wrote an article for SpanglishBaby on a mini-book activity that my students really enjoy. It is very simple and works well with Spanish language learners at different levels. You can read about the activity and download printable mini-books here:
