10 Spanish Videos for Elementary Students

All of these Spanish culture videos are for learners of all ages. Consider watching these videos with the kids and then doing a fun activity afterward. With each video, I’ve included several key Spanish vocabulary words to listen for. Let’s begin!

1. ¡Sí, Yo Puedo!

This video from Super Simple Español is a must for any age. Learning the verb poder (to be able) is necessary for elementary learners. Learning Spanish for kids is easy when you have videos to teach complex grammar topics.

This video is perfect for picking up around the house, teaching kids what they can do, and encouraging them. It also teaches what animals can’t do which is a great way to teach yo puedo and no puedo. 

Make a list with kids of different things that animals can and can’t do. Have kids role play and be different animals saying what they can and can’t do.

2. Es hora de depertar

Spanish songs for kids are great for them to remember what to do and how to do it. This video from HeyKids.es is a great way to teach kids about time and daily routines. 

This one is excellent to teach kids the importance of waking up, brushing their teeth, having breakfast, and the like. If you’re working with older kids, create a checklist of daily activities in Spanish. 

3. El tiempo

El tiempo is a video by GaMar Talk that explains the weather and temperature. She’s from Spain but doesn’t have a heavy accent. 

It’s ideal to have props for this video and show kids different kinds of weather. Encourage the students to draw their favorite season and share why it is their favorite. 

4. La playa

Spanish videos for elementary students can be simple and fun. This Basho and Friends video for young Spanish learners is about activities at the beach! It’s rap song that kids can easily remember. 

You could even have a playa day at school or home and dress like you’re going to the beach so that kids can talk about what they are wearing, what colors they see, and what they plan on doing at the beach—using Spanish vocabulary.

5. Los deportes

Smile and learn offers educational videos for children to learn Spanish sports vocabulary related to basketball, tennis, swimming, cycling, and much more! At the end of the video there’s a little recap with fun questions and answers. When it comes to Spanish videos for elementary, this one is great to encourage more activity into kids’ lives.

It’s a great way to encourage kids to talk about which sports they like in Spanish i. If you’re working with beginner Spanish learners, use photos of the sports and teach them how to say them in Spanish.

6. Los números

This Rockalingua videos teaches kids about numbers by counting to 50 (if this is too easy for your kids, go as high as you’d like). Teaching numbers has an endless amount of activities such as counting birds outside and counting items around the house. 

If your students are learning how to multiply, you can teach them how to multiply in Spanish to give them an extra challenge.

7. Learn Spanish Conjugation

Learn Spanish World offers a variety of grammar videos. This video teaches ser (to be), a key Spanish verb to learn. If we make conjugating fun, kids will learn it in no time. When it comes to choosing Spanish videos for elementar y students, conjugation is always a great idea!

8. Central America Map

This video by We Love Puzzles! is about two little girls who are making a puzzle of Central America and learning about geography. This video is in English, and it is a cultural video so that kids can learn about Central America. 

Learn about traveling to Latin America. This video includes a quiz about Central America so it’s engaging and kids get to learn about the different countries in the region.

9. Spanish Greetings for Kids

Spanish Academy TV is our very own YouTube Channel! This video teaches kids greetings in Spanish. Saying hello and goodbye varies a lot from country to country. This video is both a vocabulary video and cultural video so that kids can learn how to greet people in Spanish-speaking countries. 

In this educational video, the teacher asks the kids to repeat many words and phrases. At the end, she reviews all the vocabulary, which is an excellent way to test their comprehension.

10. Numbers, Colors & More

This video by Rock N’ Learn is a great summary of numbers, colors, and more! The 37-minute video is a lesson. Everything is in English and Spanish so it works well for beginners or as a review for more advanced students.
