Canta Conmigo

This week, we put on a camp in the town of Monzenio for the kids in that community (which is about a 45-minute bus ride full of música dominicana away from where we stay in Monte Cristi). There were four stations: recreation, reading, English vocab, and health/social work. We were paired with Dominicans who helped us translate and keep the kids under control…and were a TON of fun to work with. On Monday, I was at the English station, and we taught the kids this song to help them learn their colors in English.

Wait, what's that...you wanna hear it?

Glad you're so eager to learn. (It’s to the tune of Frére Jacques)…

Red es rojo, red es rojo
Blue azul, blue azul
Yellow amarillo, yellow amarillo
iGreen verde! igreen verde!

Brown es café, brown es café
Pink rosado, pink rosado
Purple es morado, purple es morado
iOrange naranja! iorange naranja!

Black es negro, black es negro
Gray es gris, gray es gris
White es blanco blanco, White es blanco blanco
iLos colores! iLos colores!



iBuen trabajo! You sound great. Now you know your colors in Spanish.
