One of my favorite things to do is play songs in class.

When the students are working on bell ringers or working on homework, I have my favorite Spanish songs playing in the background. I have a CD with my favorite songs, and it doesn’t take long for the students to recognize the songs and ask for their favorites.

I also use songs as lessons. I have the students listen to a song and fill in missing lyrics. Another thing I have done is cut up the lyrics into strips and have students piece the song back together in order.

My favorite artists: Juanes, Jesse & Joy, Maná
