El Presente
El Presente is a video of a Spanish IV class singing the Present Tense to the “Hi Ho” melody in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. I created this song just this year while listening to a commercial with this song and grading Spanish II papers over the Present Tense. It is amazing what one create at any time of the day.

Ser y Estar
This song is being sung by my Spanish IV class and was created by Amy and Katie, Spanish Teacher colleagues. This is a great way for the students to remember Ser and Estar, since as you know as teachers, the students struggle with this grammar concept.
Los Mandatos Informales
Tú commands are very easy for the students to grasp after they have learned the present tense. This song, Baila tu Cuerpo, uses tú commands. When I show this video, I like to have my students stand up and do whatever they are being commanded to do in the video. The students always have fun while doing this and usually almost always make the “Awww” sound when they miss a command. They’re silly.
