Spanish for kids
Spanish classes for children and teenagers in Málaga, where they learn by playing. Through songs, stories, role-plays and creative projects, children gain confidence and a love of the language. Sessions of 60 to 90 minutes, one-to-one or in small groups (siblings or friends), adapted to each age (6 to 16) and each family: from school support to full immersion. Verifiable progress from A1 to B2, aligned with the CEFR.
For children and teens: ages 6 to 16 one-to-one or small groups 60 to 90 min school support or immersion CEFR certificate
Learning by playing
For children, play is the engine of learning. Every class blends fun and Spanish, adapting to each child's age and level, in a safe and motivating setting.
The method
Play and creativity
Songs, stories, drama, crafts and role-plays. Children learn vocabulary and structures without the weight of a formal course.
Made to fit
Adapted to each age
Ages 6 to 9, short visual activities; 10 to 12, projects and mini presentations; 13 to 16, debates, creative writing and teen topics.
Academic progression
Assuming a moderate pace of 5 hours a week, this is the estimated progression. Each level combines classes with playful independent tasks (drawing, recording audios, mini diaries). A1 and A2 are designed for children and B1 and B2 for teens. Levels C1 and C2 aren't recommended for children's programmes: the realistic goal is to reach B1 or B2.
| Level (CEFR) | Class hours | Self-study | Total | Estimated duration (at 5 h/wk) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A1 | 60 h | 30 h | 90 h | 12 weeks · 3 months |
| A2 | 60 h | 30 h | 90 h | 12 weeks · 3 months |
| B1 | 80 h | 40 h | 120 h | 16 weeks · 4 months |
| B2 | 80 h | 40 h | 120 h | 16 weeks · 4 months |

Role-plays, songs, drama and crafts. The language comes in naturally, multi-sensorially and with fun.
Language and culture
Stories, children's music, gastronomy and traditional festivals, so children live Spanish in its real context.
Resources and projects
Platforms like Quizlet or Wordwall, and small projects at home (mini diaries, audios, interviewing a grandparent) with the teacher's follow-up.
Assessment
Assessment is continuous, motivating and age-appropriate: it comes in playful formats, without the pressure of a rigid exam.
Initial diagnostic
Playful activities (introduction games, short role-plays) place the child at their level, without causing anxiety.
Ongoing formative
Immediate, positive feedback that values participation and creativity, with age-appropriate rubrics.
Summative by level
At the end of each level, a creative task (a role-play, an email, an activity with stories) confirms the objectives.
