BilinguaSing Camberley

Was anyone visited by La Befana /The Witch 🧹last night? In Italian 🇮🇹 folklore, the old woman visits children on the night of 6th January to fill children's socks with sweets and gifts if they've been good or a lump of coal or dark sweets if they've been bad! Being a good housekeeper, she sweeps the floor before she leaves (sweeping away the problems of the year!)

👑 👑 👑 According to tradition, tonight is the night that the 3 Kings made their way to visit the new baby Jesus all those years ago and bring him gifts to welcome him to the world.

This event is still celebrated in many countries with exciting parades through the town and huge parties.

If your children are leaving out a shoe to be filled with treats by the 3 Kings tomorrow morning, I hope they bring you lots of treats! 🍭

Today is the ! 😴 While this is a luxury not often experienced by those of us with little people in tow, we can maybe reminisce about the day that we used to enjoy lie-ins at the weekend! So go on, what time were you up this morning?

It’s a new year and also time to make a new year’s resolution! Why not make 2025 the year to introduce your little ones and staff to a new language?

Eating 12 grapes at midnight on New Year's Eve is both a tradition and a superstition in Spain 🇪🇸

Eating one for each stroke of midnight is said to bring luck and prosperity for the forthcoming year.

Better get to the shops so they don’t sell out for tonight! 😂 🍇

So nobody knows what day it is (Sunday / domingo / dimanche / Sonntag / domenica in case you're really stuck)! And everyone is struggling to think of what to do next to keep all the little people entertained at home. So many questions!

BilinguaSing is here to help answer at least one question...how can I get hold of our favourite BilinguaSing music to sing along at home until we can get back to class?

You can now purchase/download all of your favourite music directly from our online music shop - link in the comments.

So why not treat yourselves to a new BilinguaSing album to enjoy at home? I can recommend the 'What day is it' song to help you with the days of the week 😂 and it's a great one for dancing to!

Today is - The perfect activity to keep the whole family entertained, especially at this time of year. What's your favourite game that you've all been enjoying? Anything with a French, German, Italian or Spanish flavour? This game has gone down extremely well in our house - and it has LOADS of languages in it too - perfect!

Wishing all families across the world a magical Christmas time... whether you are together or apart, we send you all our love & best wishes.

We love this Spanglish version of ‘The Night Before Christmas’ 🎄

'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the casa,
not a creature was stirring - ¡Caramba! ¿Qué pasa?

Los niños were tucked away in their camas,
some in long underwear, some in pijamas,
while hanging the stockings with mucho cuidado,
in hopes that old Santa would feel obligado,
to bring all children, both buenos and malos,
a nice batch of dulces and other regalos.

Outside in the yard there arose un gran grito,
and I jumped to my feet like a frightened cabrito.
I ran to the window and looked out afuera,
and who in the world do you think that he era?

Saint Nick in a sleigh and a big red sombrero,
came dashing along like a loco bombero.
And pulling his sleigh instead of venados,
were eight little burros approaching volando.

I watched as they came and this quaint little hombre,
was shouting and whistling and calling by nombre:
''Ay Pancho, ay Pepe, ay Cuco, ay Beto, ay Chato, ay Chopo,
Maruco, y Nieto!''

Then standing erect with his hands on his pecho,
he flew to the top of our very own techo,
with his round little belly like a bowl of jalea,
he struggled to squeeze down our old chimenea.

Then huffing and puffing at last in our sala,
with soot smeared all over his suit de gala,
he filled all the stockings with lively regalos,
none for the ninos that had been very malos.

Then chuckling aloud, seeming very contento,
he turned like a flash and was gone como el viento,
and I heard him exclaim, y ¡esto es verdad!
Merry Christmas to all, ¡y Feliz Navidad!
