About the unit

This unit is all about play. It features traditional and improvised games children can play outside as well as in. Early on, the children learn a Let's Play routine to introduce each new activity. Numbers, colours, and animals are reviewed - along with new animal vocabulary. Writing skills are consolidated further, and the children are given more opportunities to be flexible with their Spanish, as they continue to explore how the language works.

confidently use numbers 0-20
