Teaching about our communities can include a wide range of language. For example, we often teach Spanish city vocabulary with means of transportation, giving directions or professions and community helpers. The resources below focus on places in the cities and are useful in combination with any of those topics.

Be sure to check out our other Spanish for Kids vocabulary activities arranged by theme. We have lots of ideas and materials to use in your Spanish lessons.

El campo y la ciudad – This short (1:30) video compares the country and city by using a narration based on the text of a second grade text book. There is plenty of Spanish city vocabulary and the generalizations about rural and urban life in Latin America provide a basis for conversation about other countries.

Printables to Learn Spanish City Vocabulary

Printable drawings of store fronts to teach kids Spanish city vocabulary.

Aprender a Hacer has a large selection of drawings of store fronts with different signs and objects in the windows. Because the stores are identical, kids do have to look at the objects and words. Kids can color these drawing and you can use them for many activities.

Paper city from Made by Joel – If you don’t know Made by Joel, you are in for a treat. I love his free printable toys. If your setting allows, his paper city brings a different level of fun to learning Spanish city vocabulary. Kids can label the buildings, name the people, and use their imaginations to play and speak lots of Spanish.

Crafts to Practice Spanish City Vocabulary

Time is always a factor for me, so these projects are ones I can do without much prep and in a short time in class. I also look for crafts where kids can write in the Spanish city vocabulary. In addition, I want to be able to incorporate figures and dialog.

City Planner – This idea from Cutting Tiny Bites can be done with kids of any age. It’s also a good way to use paper scraps, and kids can easily add signs to their buildings.

Paper Bag City – This craft is great for early learners. It also makes a good project for a group.
If you have little ones and time, this sidewalk chalk town from B-Inspired Mama would be really fun to do!
