Since Dora the Explorer knows two languages, many word and language games can be played at a
Dora the Explorer Theme Party .
A list of words can be written on a dry erase board or chalkboard. And each of the children will fill in the English or Spanish equivalent in the space next to it. A list of English words can be in one column, and their Spanish translation in the next one.
To expand on the language game, each item around the house can have a Spanish or English name of the item taped to it. On the back of it will be the translation in the other language. All day each of the children can be learning new words in their second language.
For the luncheon and desserts, a buffet table can be set up with the words for each item to eat in English or Spanish. As the children choose what they will eat for lunch and dessert, they have to also learn the translation of the food item into their second language.
This can be as easy as “cheese” translated to “el queso,” or more complicated, such as “cheese curd” which would be “cuajadas.” You can use other luncheon meats, such as ham, salami, roast beef, and even tuna fish. Add various types of olives, lettuce, tomatoes, mayonnaise, and the children can continue building a sandwich as they build their vocabulary in both languages.
Drinks count, too, so use milk, soda, water, and juices to make it interesting and give them a variety to choose from, as well.
