Voces Digital: 5 Beginner Spanish Songs for Greetings and Numbers
Our Voces Digital partnership isn't just for AP and advanced classrooms — it covers the earliest building blocks of the language too. For this post, we're focusing on the very first vocabulary any Spanish student needs: greetings and numbers. These songs are built for repetition, which makes them ideal for elementary and early middle-school classrooms.
If you're looking for easy Spanish songs to sing along to, catchy Spanish karaoke tracks for young learners, or simple songs that reinforce classroom routines, this playlist is a great place to start the year.
All songs are available in a Roxxem playlist with lyrics, music videos, and classroom activities including slides, worksheets, and games like Whac-a-Word and Quiz Ninja.
