41 Songs in Spanish to Practice Present Tense

Add some songs in Spanish to your teaching tools to give your students the opportunity to practice the present tense in context.

Below is a suggested list of contemporary songs in Spanish to try in class with your students.

We have created a clozeline (fill-in-the-blanks) for each of them in 2 or 3 versions to choose from according to your students’ listening comprehension level. Each cloze is also digitally fillable!

One of these songs comes in a PACK with additional activities to go more in-depth. This will give you the versatility of using them all or picking only a couple of them depending on your students’ needs or your class schedule.

All Spanish Teachers Community members (log in here) have access to these Spanish song activities and hundreds of ready-made lesson plans and resources for the full school year!
