At the Día de Los Muertos event they divided us into 2 groups, one to make the bread and the other to make the crafts, and then we switched. For the bread, we went into the kitchen and each of us had our stations prepared with the ingredients to made it step-by-step, we all made one pan de Muerto to take home.

DAYS OF THE DEAD IS A WONDERFUL CULTURAL THEME FOR THE ELEMENTARY SPANISH CLASS, especially if we keep the information concrete, clear, and comprehensible for little kids. We often focus on México's traditions for this holiday, but it is celebrated in many countries, including Ecuador. Marked by a sweet bread called LAS GUAGUAS (meaning 'niños' in Quechua) and often served with colada morada, a spiced berry drink, the celebrations focus on el 2 de noviembre, el Día de los Difuntos. LAS GUAGUAS typically are in the shape of babies and animals, and have frosting and other decorations making them look very festive. I've pinned several photos of them and colada morada to my Pinterest board El Día de los Muertos, which you can check out here! And don't miss this great video of making them-click here. And don't miss our FREE Activity Page for students to design their own guagua de pan! Download it here. WANT TO SHARE SOME SIMPLE FACTS ABOUT LAS GUAGUAS in Spanish class?
