Is anyone familiar with "Spanish for Kids"? I'm looking for dvds that are along the lines of "Signing Times" but for Spanish.
Thx!

Brenda,
don't know if you've tried it out yet, but my library has it so I've put a "hold" on it...I'll let you know what I think after we've seen it! Thanks for the tip!

We have the DVDs. I bought them hoping for the same thing you are...Signing Time feel to Spanish. The DVDs have questions and review in them that you use your remote to answer. Overall, I would say that they are no Signing Time, the kids aren't begging to watch them over and over. Some kids, especially the little ones, get tired of and annoyed by the questions/answers. That said, they are fairly well done and the kids have learned from them. They get played now and then even after owning them for about 2 years. If you can get them from your library to try first, I'd recommend that avenue.
If you have any specific questions, please let me know.
Hope this helps,
Christine

I am not familiar with the Signing Times videos, I have seen one I think.
But, are you looking for beginning Spanish with some simple songs for kids, is that kind of what you mean?
Just thought I'd throw out there that I just recently purchased a Boca Beth dvd for the first time and my kids love it!
On it there is a "Movin & Groovin" song, a Days of the Week song, one with body parts...etc.
If this is not at all what you are talking about, just ignore this message.

Got the dvd from the library today...put it in and the kids thought it was okay, but it drove me crazy. I'll probably try it a couple of times again, since it's the kids who need to learn, not me  and see if it gets any better with time!
would definitely suggest the library before buying it!

Thank you so much Christine (& everyone else!) for responding. These days I'm trying to buy just those things that I'm pretty sure will be big hits. I already have a house full of mediocre things  .
