Check out more of our favorite Spanish songs for kids grouped by theme.
Spanish Fall Songs from Spanish Together
These first 4 songs are from Spanish Together and are available on their Jump into Spanish CD. You can get the CD or individual songs from iTunes, Amazon, or cdbaby.
Hojas, hojas is a simple song that teaches the verb caerse and color words in Spanish. It is by Spanish Together and is available on their Jump into Spanish CD.
The lyrics are simple: Hojas, hojas, las hojas se caen del árbol (Leaves, leaves, leaves fall from the tree), and then the colors. Kids learn this song quickly and love to act out leaves falling from the tree with their hands. With cards (cut as leaves if you are ambitious) kids can touch or hold up each color as they sing.
In Wisconsin, fall means trips to the apple orchard and lots of apple pie. ¿Cuántas manzanas hay? is a counting song. It is fun to sing and count real apples! It is one of our favorite Spanish fall songs for kids.
Cinco calabazas teaches emotions in Spanish: tired, scared, angry, frustrated, surprised and happy. Pumpkins are a big part of fall here in Wisconisn, so I always include this song in my Spanish fall songs for kids.
Yo soy un pavo is another great Spanish fall song for kids. It teaches key parts of a bird and also “Día de gracias.” Fun for Spanish Teachers has cute activities for this song on her Teachers Pay Teachers page.

“Hojas, Hojas” was great for my 2nd/3rd grade Spanish class. We learned the words first in a slowed down version. We also made color cards which the kids lifted as the color was said. We even added our own dance! We performed it in small groups and plan to perform it for other classes. They loved it!

Love “Hojas, hojas”, the fact that it’s simple and they repeat the lyrics several times makes it much easier to figure out what they’re saying. Tweeted. Thanks, Jenny.
Cheers,
