Spanish Spring Words for Kids (Free Lesson)

The seasons are changing, the ice is melting, a warm wind is coming in—and with it, a lesson of spring Spanish words for your kids!

Take the playful, renascent vibe from la primavera (spring) to teach your little ones about new life, growth, weather, and activities that promise to solidify this knowledge. 

Expand your kids’ comprehension of the seasons and introduce them to their environment. All this while learning a second language. Talk about multitasking. 

Throughout this article, you will find the cheerful ABCs of spring Spanish words, links to related lessons to broaden your children’s expertise, and a series of outdoor and indoor activities for you to enjoy a field day with them.

Let’s go through this seasonal guide for kids and smell the roses!

Spring Words For Kids

With these spring vocabulary words, your children will learn nouns, adjectives, and verbs that they can use every day regardless of the season. I will provide a focused lesson on -er verbs and verbs with other endings.

A lesson to learn about spring in Spanish can be even more fun if coupled with the activities that follow the vocabulary. In other words, go outside and take time to enjoy a whole day with your kids.

Be better, be bilingual.

Spring Nouns

Spring nouns are the easiest because your children can point at most of them. Linking an image or an object to a word and its phonetics is natural and necessary for them. 

They can practice with these spring season words:

EnglishSpanish
breeze la brisa
bud el brote
butterfly la mariposa
caterpillar la oruga 
clouds las nubes
eggs los huevos
flowers las flores
grass el pasto, la grama

Use these conjugations frequently with your preschooler.

Spring Activities in Spanish

Yes, you can use traditional methods to practice spring vocabulary words like flashcards. But you can also use printable exercises or do outdoor activities. 

Sing Spanish songs along with your kids, let them resolve word puzzles, and open up the door to poetry. 

Keep scrolling to find more outdoor activities.

1. Sing Along

Welcome spring with this song called La primavera ya llegó (Spring Is Already Here), by Abel Camacho.

EnglishSpanish
Spring is herethe cold leaves, the sun arrivesthe flowers will wake upto draw landscapes.It’s here, let yourself go.Feel it and go out to enjoy it.The rivers and mountains will sing,the longer days you will noticefeel the breeze when walkingwith its natural perfume.It’s here, let yourself go.Feel it and go out to enjoy it.La primavera ya llegó,se marcha el frío, llega el sollas flores van a despertarpara paisajes dibujar.Ya llegó, déjate llevar.Siéntelo y sal a disfrutar.Los ríos y montes cantarán,los días más largos notarássiente la brisa al pasearcon su perfume natural.Ya llegó, déjate llevar.Siéntelo y sal a disfrutar.

2. Practice this Poem

The poem Un caracol me contó (A Snail Told Me) by Nilda Zamataro is about what wood animals do during spring. 

EnglishSpanish
A snail told methat the spring sunhis little house warmed upand went out for a walklooking for some loveThe tortoise told meshe slept all winterwith a hat and nightgown.She woke up very happyand took a big splash.A bird told mehe is repairing the nest,because there are many chicksthat will hatchin a week or two.Un caracol me contóque el sol de la primaverasu casita calentóy salió a dar un paseoen busca de algún amor.La tortuga me contóque durmió todo el inviernocon gorro y con camisón.Se despertó muy contenta,y se dio un gran chapuzón.Un pájaro me contóque está reparando el nido,pues son muchos los pollitosque saldrán del cascarónen una semana o dos.

3.Traditional Egg Hunt

Egg hunts are one of my favorite outdoor activities during Pascua (Easter). 

You can place flashcards with Spanish words and an image reference inside the eggs. You can tell your kids to say the words back to you. 

4. Playdough Creations

Give your children a little homework—ask them to make playdough creations on demand. 

Try to have this activity outdoors, so they can create what they see. 

You can ask them: Can you make this plátano (banana)? Can I see you make that flor roja (red flower)? What about el sol y nubes (the sun and the clouds)?

5. Color Practice

Take your kids to the garden or the park. Once you’re there you can ask them to say the things (nouns) and colors of what they are.

Example: pasto verde (green grass). 

Help Your Child Become Bilingual—Enroll Them in Spanish Class!

I hope you liked these spring words for preschoolers, and that you are eager to do the activities laid out for you and your family. 

Making your children bilingual from an early age is a brilliant idea. The sooner you start, the more neuroplasticity their brains have. In other words, their brains are better “sponges.” 

Believe it or not, small kids are more likely to remember complex grammar structures and foreign sounds. 

By becoming bilingual or multilingual people have more chances at getting better jobs, earning higher salaries, and connecting with others in more meaningful ways. Also they become more tolerant and respectful towards other cultures—a much-needed value nowadays. 

But where to start? 

At Homeschool Spanish Academy we can help you tailor a Spanish package that suits your children’s needs and interests. They will have access to online, flexible classes with certified, native Spanish-speakers.
