Bambiel is a Salvadoran Youtuber, rapper and Anime artist. Apryl Ardans, the female vocalist on this track, is from Argentina. This is a song about coming out of an emotional funk. I think the anime-styled video will appeal to a lot of students. It has quite a few indicative present, future verbs, “tú” commands, and infinitives. I decided to focus my Bellringer on the “tú” commands in first rap verse. It goes fast, so I made a word bank. They are all regular, affirmative commands so this is an easy activity for Spanish 1 or a review for Spanish 2. Instructions are in English. Find it here.
Teaching note: I’ve had a lot of students with mental health struggles. While I think this is an appropriate song for a middle school or high school classroom, I would probably skip it if I knew of any students suffering from an acute depressive episode because I think it might be a bit on-the-nose for them. I tried to tread carefully in the worksheet so as to not wade too deeply into social-emotional themes, but of course there is a lot to dig into here if it fits with your curriculum and comfort level.
