If you're not fluent in Spanish, don't worry, you don't need to be! Especially in the lower grades, a basic intro to Spanish is enough to make them think they're bilingual. ;) My Cinco de Mayo unit introduces animals, body parts, colors, family members and numbers. There are recipe cards, coloring pages, a fun hat to make {of course!} and even an easy reader to put together and color. Here's a freebie download for you as well!
For a hands on idea, I always like to make salsa and guacamole right in my classroom with my students. If you use a blender it is super simple. Here's a tip: if you make the salsa first, just leave a little bit of it in the blender, add the avocados and the guacamole is done! I guarantee you, if the kids get to help make it, they'll want to eat it. {kid friendly recipes included in the unit} And if you decide to cook while wearing a festive sombrero, even better!
