A Sombrero for Santa by Jill Gallina and Michael Gallina. For Choral (Performance Pack). Shawnee Press. Shawnee Press #UA0082. Published by Shawnee Press.
What a wonderful way to teach Spanish, music and the transportation unit at the same time! This charming musical play for elementary students takes Santa and the elves to Mexico to vacation and to learn Spanish. While there, they also learn the North Pole is snowbound, so they begin examining all the methods of Mexican transportation for their return – only to find a problem with each. Finally, they decide to set up the toy workshop there until Rudolph gets through with the sleigh. This delightful story – told in rhyme – features 21 Spanish words and six unison/2-part songs. Available: Performance Pack, 5- pack singer parts, A/P CD, Listening CD, Director's manual, Performance Pack with CD (best value!). Performance time: approx. 30 minutes. Grades 1-6.
