How to incorporate more Spanish culture in every level of Spanish class this school year. Wondering how to dig deeper into teaching Hispanic culture for Hispanic Heritage Month and beyond? Spanish culture through music, films, dance, jokes, routines, and more with diverse representation.
HOW TO INCORPORATE MORE SPANISH CULTURE
It does not matter if you are tied to a set textbook or curriculum or if you have complete freedom. Below are five ways to incorporate more Hispanic culture into your classes this school year.
VIDEOS OF THE SPANISH-SPEAKING WORLD
Students are more visual learners than ever. Grab their attention with short travel videos that show the beauty of the Spanish-speaking world. I created a slideshow that has the country, capital, nationality, two maps, and a travel video for all 22 Spanish-speaking places.
MUSIC TO TEACH SPANISH CULTURE
If you have been around for a while you know that I LOVE incorporating music in Spanish class. From weekly routines like Música miércoles & Baile viernes, to music brackets like mania musical – March Music Madness & Hispanic Heritage Month Music Bracket, music is one of my favorite ways to connect with students about Spanish culture.

One simple change that you can add to your celebration is to read about the holiday in Spanish! Even novice Spanish students can read these simple activities for Day of the Dead, 3 Reyes Magos & Valentine’s Day. See more specific ideas in the holiday blog posts below.
