Spanish Poem about Mushrooms for Kids
Learning poetry and rhyme is one of my absolute favorite ways to teach kids Spanish. It increases their vocabulary exposure, has amazing repetition, and works really well with all kids (especially those that don’t love to sing!)

La Seta
Tiene la seta una capa roja
Con lunares blancas
Que, cuando llega el otoño,
Adorna los verdes campos.
Y cuando llueve, es paraguas
Y es sombrero si hace sol,
Para los animalitos que
Viven alrededor.
English Translation:
The mushroom has a red cap
with white dots.
And when autumn arrives,
It decorates the green fields.
And when it rains, it’s an umbrella
and a hat when it’s sunny
For all the litle animals
That live around.
Learn to Identify Mushrooms in Spanish
Foraging for mushrooms is such a fun activity for grown-ups and kids alike! I always recommend learning foraging skills in person from an expert to make sure you know your stuff before you ever eat anything in the wild. Here are the names of three common mushrooms that you can find in Spanish and English!
