Music: Chilean Anden Music Part 1   //www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBuj_3bNeo4  The music is my favorite part of the night.  I like to have the music on while I cook to get myself in the mood.

Flag and Geography: The kids always like to color the flag of the country and we always find the country on the globe to get an idea of its surroundings. https://www.crayola.com/free-coloring-pages/print/chile-coloring-page/

Weather and Landscape: The country is long and narrow so the landscape and weather varied from desert, lush and green, to cold and ice capped.

Language: We played a Spanish language game in one of our favorite sites. http://www.digitaldialects.com/Spanish.htm
