Going on a neighborhood walk isn’t just a walk around the block if you have kids! You have to get them out the door with shoes on while combatting any complaining, field questions about taking scooters, the stroller, the dog, and bikes… wait, don’t forget the helmets! Give instructions to turn, wait for your brother, and stay out of the road. Watch for cars coming out of driveways, hold hands, cross streets safely, take your child out of the stroller or wagon and put them back in ten seconds later all while avoiding stepping in poop and hearing maybe more complaining as everyone gets tired, like “Are we there yet?” Oh, and be sure not to leave your shoes out once we all get back home!
It’s a lot. But going on a walk is totally worth it. And transforming your neighborhood walk into Spanish is totally worth it too! With how much talking you’re doing and how often you go on walks, you can use the entire experience to add even more Spanish to your day, which will increase your fluency! Plus, because your child really wants to take their bike, you know they’ll use their Spanish to have fun! Because walks are supposed to be fun, right?

PHRASE CHARTS
This phrase guide has more packed on it than most foreign language phrasebooks! Plus, it’s super focused on the phrases you actually use as a family when you’re going on walks!
There are 12 Sections on this guide to take you from getting ready for the walk all the way to getting back safely. And what happens in between? All. The. Things!
Section 1: Let’s Go on a Walk From asking if your family wants to go on a walk, to making it sound like it will be nice, to getting on everyone’s shoes, this section will get the ball rolling on your neighborhood walk.
Section 2: Negotiations Time to go on a walk? Queue the complaining with phrases like, “I don’t want to go on a walk.” You and your children will be able to negotiate favorable terms of going on a walk, like, “You can ride your bike,” or “You can’t watch TV later if you don’t go on a walk,” with these phrases and, hopefully, make it out the door.
Section 2: Negotiations Time to go on a walk? Queue the complaining with phrases like, “I don’t want to go on a walk.” You and your children will be able to negotiate favorable terms of going on a walk, like, “You can ride your bike,” or “You can’t watch TV later if you don’t go on a walk,” with these phrases and, hopefully, make it out the door.
Section 4: For Older Kids Get your older kids using a lot of Spanish by helping them ask to take their bike, skateboard, rollerblades, or dog! Plus, don’t forget the helmets if you need them!
Section 5: Walking Whether you’re making up the route as you go or you’re guiding everyone along, these phrases will help you move forward or wait for your one child that stops and looks at everything.
Section 6: Safety You’ll find yourself using these phrases a lot to stay on the sidewalk, hold hands, and stay close.
Section 7: Crossing the Street From planning on where to cross the street, using a crosswalk, and watching out for cars, motorcycles, ambulances, and firetrucks, these phrases are a useful addition. Plus, you’ll be able to yell in Spanish as hurry across the sidewalk, announcing how many seconds you have left. Or should we just wait for the next light? This section has all of it.
Section 8: Transitions If only they stayed on the bike they decided to take or didn’t get in and out of the stroller… Well, lucky you, you’ll be able to use more Spanish as you take breaks and transition from being carried to taking ten steps to being carried again.
Section 9: Not Getting Messy Messes can be fun, but if you want to avoid puddles, mud or, even more so, poop, these are some great phrases. Plus, if you smell it on someone’s shoes, you’ll be able to clean it off in Spanish.
Section 10: Enjoying Yourself Yay! For those tiny moments where the walk just feels so good, we’ve got you covered! Because you know what, it IS a nice day to take a walk!
Section 11: Complaining Oh, yes. Back to this again. “My legs hurt,” “This is too hard,” “My feet are freezing,” “My sock is bothering me.” We’ve heard them all… but have your kids whined them in Spanish? Let’s totally go there.
Section 12: Ending the Walk Hallelujah! “Are we there yet?” has turned into “We’re almost there,” and now, “We’re home.” But the fun isn’t over yet. We need to put away the things we took, including helmets, and give the dog some water if he came along. These phrases will have you ending your walk in Spanish.

I love this! There are so many new and useful phrases. I learned some new vocabulary, as well as new expressions using familiar vocabulary. I love when I memorize a new phrase, and then have a chance to use it. Today, when we went on a walk, “Ya pasó,” just popped out after a car passed by. I just learned that phrase yesterday. So fun. I love things like this that are just packed with phrases. It helps me so much!
