Although SenorWooly.com has only been around for a couple of years, I have actually been making educational music since 2006. However, over these 6 years, my ideas on how to write my stuff have changed quite a bit.

And nothing has helped shape my music more than reading stories to my four-year old son.

NOTE: These video blogs really are intended for teachers, but students are welcome to watch if they’re interested.

Watch this Video Blog

In my second video blog, I talk about ideas that influence the creation of my music and videos. My hope is that this will give you a better idea of where I’m coming from, and also how to better use my materials in your classroom.

Also, in case you missed it, here is Sr. Wooly first video blog: Sr. Wooly VS. Native Speakers!!!

The videogame for El Recreo Ha Terminado is now complete.

Play the game

As always, the difficulty level of these games is determined by the tempo of the song and its lyrics. Since El Recreo Ha Terminado is one of my slowest songs, that makes this one of the easiest videogames on my site.

My recommendation on difficulty levels:

• If you’re learning the song, play on Fácil.
• If you know the song pretty well, play on Moderado.
• If you’ve completely memorized the song, then you can try your hand at Difícil.

I also highly recommend that both students and teachers read these tips on playing the videogame.

The next videogame will be for La Dentista. It will be completed by the first week in April, but hopefully sooner.

The videogame for the song La Invitación is now complete.

Play La Invitación

Even though the Spanish behind this song is pretty basic, it’s actually one of my harder games. La Invitación a very fast-paced song, with each line of dialogue quickly following the previous one.

As always, I highly recommend that everyone start on Fácil. No matter how well you know the song, no one should be starting at Moderado, and especially not at Difícil.

Also, I highly recommend that you read these tips on playing the videogame. Even if you’ve played my videogames before, it will give you a few tips that might increase your skills and enjoyment of the game.

La Invitación is one of my oldest songs, back from when I was first starting making music for my Spanish classes. In fact, as was the case with a few of my earliest songs, the entire thing was made with GarageBand. If you’ve never used that program before, I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to get started in writing your own music.

The next game will be for El Recreo Ha Terminado, and it should be out within a week.

Hi everyone,

My newest music video, El Recreo Ha Terminado, is finally complete.

In this new video, a boy sings about the end of recess in the most dramatic way imaginable.

The style of this video definitely harkens back to the mock-serious tones of some of my earlier work, such as Me Duele and La Confesión de Víctor. I just can’t help myself. Angst is funny to me.

The curricular goal of this song is the present perfect. There is a lot of nice and slow repetition of the present perfect structure. Most of the past participle examples are for ‘AR’ verbs, but there are a few important irregulars that get significant exposure like hacer (hecho) and ver (visto).

This is also the first new song that I have released since Amnesia.

This video is restricted to subscribers of SenorWooly.com. At only $19.99 for an entire year of access for you and your students, this is one of the most affordable subscriptions around. Here is more information about what is included in Full-Site Access.

I would love to hear what you think about the video. Feel free to leave comments below. And, as always, thank you very much for watching my stuff.

One of my goals for this year is to make the little changes I make on this site more visible. None of the below changes are life-altering, but they will make a difference to some of you.

Added Subtitles to La Casa del Sr. Wooldridge Video

I finally got around to putting subtitles on my house tour video. This video was the first one I ever created for my students (and it shows). Still, despite some moments with less-than-stellar Spanish, there are some fun moments in this one.

Billy la Bufanda Converted to Video

The Billy la Bufanda video has been on my site as a Flash animation since its release. I finally got around to converting it to video, so that it works the same as all my other videos (which means you can use full-screen, and have better control with playing and pausing).

More Fun Facts

I am in the process of adding “Fun Facts” to all the videos. Want to know how I made the Excusas vomit? How about how we got the soup to bubble in Pan?

Currently, you can read Fun Facts about ¿Puedo ir al baño?, La Casa del Sr. Wooldridge, Las Excusas, Pan, La Dentista, and El Banco.

This feature is available to subscribers only. More information to Full-Site Access.

The new versions of Las Excusas and La Dentista are on iTunes

The videos of Las Excusas and La Dentista use new recordings of the songs. Those new recordings are now available for purchase on iTunes.
