How to Teach Spanish With a Mochila Backpack

El término mochila, which is widely used throughout the Spanish-speaking world, means “backpack” in English. A backpack is a bag that is worn on the back, typically used to carry books and clothing by students, hikers, and travelers.

Mochilas are also a popular way for children to transport their school supplies and belongings. Some parents worry about this, however, as it is possible for backpacks to be stolen or lost while kids are at school. There are several steps that can be taken to help reduce this risk.

Another option is to use a backpack with padded straps and a chest harness for added safety. This will help to distribute the weight of the bag more evenly and prevent injuries from a heavy load.

Lastly, it is a good idea to teach children to lock their backpacks with zip locks or key chains. This will help to prevent them from being stolen while they are at school or in other public places.
