Sing Dragons Love Tacos
It's almost impossible to not clap your hands, tap your feet, and move your body when you hear the song, Dragons Love Tacos.
That's because it's sung and played in the spicy style of music of Latin America called salsa. Yes, salsa is more than just the spicy sauce that makes dragons breathe fire.
What could be more fun than singing about dragons? Singing about dragons and food. The songs takes you through the mixing, mincing, and mooshing you'll enjoy while making Gentle Dragon Tacos.
As a bonus, you'll also get to sing some fun Spanish words. So, let's get started. ¡Vámanos!
The Dragon Salsa Orchestra
For a group activity, it's the kids' turn to make music.
- Introduce them to playing music in a group.
- Give each child a dragon egg maraca.
- Divide the group into the 'tomato' group, the 'avocado' group, the 'cilantro' group, etc.
- Play the Dragons Love Tacos song.
- As Eddie introduces each ingredient, that group joins in to become a salsa orchestra.

But not, too hot!
Dragón quiere taco,
Millones de tacos,
Dragón quiere taco,
Sin pique sin na.

(dragon wants taco)
(without heat, nada)
And salsa, sweet sweet salsa,
mi salsita, sabrosita es.
Come to the party, a taco party.
Oh so sabroso!
Si es picante
