  • Before watching our video Todo sobre el agua, ask children, “¿Dónde han visto agua hoy?”
  • After watching, ask, “¿De qué dos maneras usamos agua?”
  • Read the mini book together.
  • As you read the book, have kids predict the bold, colored word, using their decoding skills and the photos for clues.
  • Then do the Demuestra lo que sabes skill sheet as a follow-up activity.
A wet sponge and a bucket filled with water

Materials: two plastic containers or buckets, one large sponge, water

  • Go outdoors for a fun sponge-and-water relay! Set out one bucket or container of water and have kids line up behind it. At a distance, set out an empty bucket or container and mark a “fill line” at the level of your choice.
  • Give the first child in line a large sponge. Have the child soak up as much water as possible, go across to the empty container, and wring out as much water as possible! That child then runs back and hands the sponge to the next child.
  • Play continues until the second container reaches the fill line!
