Spanish Poem about Snakes for Kids

I am a big fan of teaching children Spanish poetry and rhyme to help them learn. Spanish poems for kids provide amazing repetition, they expose them to a wide variety of vocabulary and descriptive words, and they’re fun to learn! Next up is a great poem about snakes you can teach your kids in Spanish. 

Deslizándose
por la hierba
la serpiente sinuosa
está escribiendo
un poema resbalosa
con su cuerpo. 
Pero su alfabeto
es súper sencillo. 
Solo sabe una letra:
ssssssss

Translation:
Slithering 
Through the grass
The sinuous snake
Is writing
A slippery poem
With its body. 
But its alphabet is 
Super simple
It only knows one letter:
Sssssssss
