Bilingual Music & Movement

Laurie Davidson of Mucho Gusto Spanish will lead this fun and exciting bilingual program for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers! Through the repetition of songs over a five-week series, children gain comfort and familiarity with the repertoire and the targeted Spanish vocabulary around greetings, parts of the body, animals, colors, counting, family, action verbs, weather, and seasonal elements of nature. Bilingual music and movement encourages playful adaptations of songs and collective creation of new verses that incorporate high-interest themes and accessible movements to expand vocabulary and create connections beyond the program. Young children find their voices through a variety of modalities of self-expression, including singing along, contributing to new verses, suggesting animal sounds and actions, and moving their bodies.  The program is highly interactive with puppets, scarves, instruments, and more.

This program is free and open to the public. It will be offered every Tuesday morning in March 2026 and you can come to as many or as few as you would like.

Registration is not required, but you may sign up on this calendar if you would like an email reminder the day before the program.

This program is supported in part by a grant from the Athol Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency. Additional support was provided by the Friends of the Athol Public Library.
