Goldilocks and the Three Bears in Spanish

Using familiar texts when teaching another language can be a great way of allowing your students to comprehend the text quickly and focus on new vocabulary. The story I focused on this week was Goldilocks and the Three Bears (Ricitos de oro y los tres osos.)

I found a great worksheet on the blog Storytime and more that I used to create other worksheets that focused on the vocabulary words grande, mediano, and pequeño.

Here is the Pre K Version:

I accompanied the story with two videos found on the Professor Parrot DVD. They were a little bit long, but I enjoyed how much Spanish was used.


I also read the students a version of the story in both English and Spanish. I used Susan Middleton Elya's version called Rubia and the Three Osos. The text is in English with many Spanish words mixed in. What I like best is that you can essentially change any target vocabulary word into Spanish. Check out how to do that here.
