Fun Spanish summer activities for kids: Keep learning alive!

Summer is the perfect time for children to relax and have fun, but it doesn’t mean the learning has to stop! Incorporating Spanish activities into your child's summer can be a great way to keep them engaged while reinforcing their language skills. At El Recreo Spanish, we believe in making learning enjoyable, and we’ve put together a list of exciting summer activities that your kids will love. Plus, we’re offering a free downloadable booklet filled with even more activities to keep the fun going all summer long!

1. Spanish Story Time

Reading is a fantastic way to enhance language skills. Visit your local library or online bookstores to find Spanish children’s books. Make story-time a daily habit, and if you’re learning Spanish together, take turns reading aloud.

2. Bilingual Nature Walks

Turn a regular walk in the park into a bilingual adventure. Create a list of nature-related vocabulary words in Spanish, and as you walk, encourage your child to find and name things they see. This activity combines physical activity with language learning in a fun and engaging way.

3. Spanish Cooking Class

Cooking together can be a wonderful educational activity. Choose a simple Spanish recipe, gather the ingredients, and let your child help with the preparation. As you cook, introduce Spanish vocabulary related to food and cooking.

4. Arts and Crafts in Spanish

Arts and crafts are perfect for creative expression and language practice. Provide your child with art supplies and encourage them to create themed crafts while using Spanish words and phrases. You can find craft ideas and step-by-step instructions in our free booklet.

5. Spanish Music and Dance

Music is a powerful tool for language learning. Create a playlist of Spanish songs and have a dance party. Teach your child some basic dance moves from Spanish-speaking countries and let them express themselves through music and movement.

6. Virtual Travel

Take a virtual trip to a Spanish-speaking country! Explore online resources like virtual museum tours, cultural videos, and interactive maps. Discuss what you see and learn new vocabulary related to travel and geography.

7. Spanish Games and Puzzles

Games are a fun way to reinforce language skills. Look for Spanish board games, card games, or online language games. Our booklet includes printable flashcards that are perfect for summer afternoons.
