Kids are just plain smart! They pick up on learning so quickly. Also, you Dad and Mom play a very important part in helping your children increase their IQ by starting the little folks at an early age to learn Spanish and other foreign languages.
You'll find so much pleasure in helping them and hearing the quick learning response they have.

Plus, you and your children can all practice with each other to become highly fluent. It is so much fun and there's scores of ways to make an exciting adventure out of doing this.
I will be giving you some tips as we go along that to my knowledge has never been introduced, but you'll enjoy these unique ideas. But first, did you know that it is a proven fact that when you teach or help get your children started on a new language, their IQ begins to greatly improve, the vocabulary is much broadened, even for kids who have problems in math pick up vastly after learning Spanish or another tongue.
Plus, test after test confirm that those who were born speaking English will see lots of improvement in their mother tongue. Kids that learn a second language just do better.
TipToe One
(Parents always try so hard to get their children to eat fruits but many kids won't. I made this up also for my own and it works like a charm. Feel free to run with the ideas parents any way you like).
With children that are old enough to understand, have them either sit on floor or in a chair with their eyes closed or put a blindfold on them.
Have as many different types of fruit as you can and do this during time for brunch or snacks. Start with the first and give them some kind of fruit. Go to next and give them a different kind of fruit. Do this with each of your children, or friends children until all have a different kind of fruit. They must tell you what they're eating in Spanish. They need only eat a bite or two.Do this for as many different types of fruit as possible.
Then, for those that correctly named all of fruits in Spanish, take off blindfold or tell them to open eyes and give them a prize. It does not need to be expensive, just a toxen of reward costing 25 cents to a dollar. It's up to you. You'll find everyone laughing a lot and this is great fun if done right.
TipToe Two
This time Dad and Mom, it's the children's turn.
They can do the above on you or either think up another game. Actually there's many ways to revise this first game to make it even more fun. All of you will greatly improve in speaking Spanish.
TipToe Three
Mom, Dad or whoever cooks, have the meal prepared and ready with everyone sitting down at table but not touching food.
Have all dishes and trays covered where no one knows what is cooked except the cook themselves. Since the cook cannot play this time, they need to have a few simple quiz questions ready to ask.
Start with the right side working left.
When ever someone answers their quota in Spanish they can start eating. Go only for a short time with this game and if anyone can not answer them all, at the end tell them to start eating also. This is loads of fun. Revise to please your self.
NOTE - The first two were foods because I've found that food works so very well!
TipToe Four
Have everyone line up or sit down. A record, tape, cd or dvd will already be in player fixed so everyone can hear. ( One person will have to manage all this) It will be Spanish music and words.
As it plays whoever can must name the song and person singing. If possible guess what year it was recorded. After complete music has played, whoever won the most, gets to pick out one thing that each person in group must do for them that week. For example, Mother could request Dad cook the meal, whichever she chooses, or Dad could choose to have someone deliver his breakfast in bed, etc. Depending on who wins.
This is one of my favorites because if you win, you get royal attention from each person. Truck load of fun. Teaching children early a new language is best, increasing neurons raising their IQ and really all around improvements. Mixing learning with fun games can and will bring the whole family closer together plus quickly learning a new tongue, for example Spanish.
Try this Spanish for kids fun adventure and you'll all love every minute of it.
