Tito Puente Lesson Plans, Coloring Pages, Crafts, Activities and More



In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, I'm delighted to participate once again in the MKB Hispanic Heritage Series. I've chosen to highlight musician Tito Puente this year. Below, you'll find a few resources for studying the Mambo King, as well as a free download that I've created for the occasion. I hope you enjoy!

Tito Puente Lesson Plans



Coloring Pages & Download


Not a lot of options are out there for coloring pages. So I made one and am sharing it with my newsletter subscribers

I also have a MommyMaestra's 1-page reading passage and coloring page for young readers. You can download this printable page for free here (English-only version). The reading passage is for 4th - 8th grades.

OR you can purchase the full reading passage with English and Spanish versions plus a digital version here in my TpT shop


Videos about Tito Puente


For Younger Children:

For Older Students


• And for older students, here's Tito's official Oye Como Va video.

Tito has also been featured in a Google Doodle! Shown below. If you want to share the
