Step into a conversation with Catalan music educator Núria Planell as she explores how movement, play and the Dalcroze method transform the way children experience music.

La Patum
for 8-10 year olds
La Patum Song is a lively English learning resource that introduces children to the Catalan festival of La Patum in Berga (Catalonia) through music, rhythm, and movement.
Inspired by the giants, fire, and folkloric characters of the street celebration, it helps children learn English vocabulary naturally through repetition, dance, and play. Designed for ages 8-10, it’s ideal for classrooms and families who want to connect language learning with Catalan culture.
Explore the flashcards, karaoke videos, image banks, worksheets, playbacks and more.
