Hola mbest10 y Bienvenido a SpanishDict!!

"Boys and Girls" can be said a few different ways, since there are a few different words that can be used for "boy" and "girl", here are some options:

  • "Chicos y Chicas"

  • "Niños y Niñas"

¡Espero que esto les sea útil!

When you call people's attention calling them "Boys and girls....." in Spanish is not common to hear "Muchachos y muchachas...." - Benz, Feb 2, 2010

you know, I was going to say muchachos y muchachas, but, I decided to look it up in the dictionary to see the exact meaning and the different uses etc. and it says that a Muchacho is a Guy...yet, I've always heard/thought it was a boy.. - hlsbookworm, Feb 2, 2010
and to me a "guy" isn't the same as a "boy" - hlsbookworm, Feb 2, 2010
Well it is a boy so there ya go. - jeezzle, Feb 2, 2010

chicos and chicas is the most common. Niños and niñas typically mean younger children. Muchachos and muchachas is: 1) a pretty awesome word! 2) it's pretty much like chicos and chicas.

At least this is what I know.
