Due you lack ideas on what activities to do to keep your child interested in learning French or Spanish. If you answered yes, here is what you can do.
Make a habit to introduce seasonal themes. This is an easy and fun way to introduce new vocabulary to kids. For example, since it is now fall you can spend some time introducing vocabulary relating to fall. Furthermore, you can always take your child to the park to experience what fall is like. Have your child gather leaves that have fallen to the ground and make a collage with it.
Next, have the child label each item in English first, then label it in the language your child is interested in learning.
Here are some concrete examples:
Autum/L’automne/El otoño
Leaves/Les feuilles/Las hojas
We go to school in the fall/On va à l’école en automne/Vamos a la escuela al otoño
