1 | After having checked the words from the unit, separate the class in two groups and provide each team with a set of colored stains. You will mention a color, and both teams will try to find the corresponding stain. The group that makes it faster will score.

2 | Distribute the cards on the floor and give different commands ( jump, run, crawl) for the children to reach the cards. Do not forget to add movements, so that your pupils have a reference. It is advisable to carry out this activity individually, to avoid them from shoving one another. In case you do perform the activity in groups, ask them to get around the card instead of stepping on it. For example, if you say Jump to color yel low! your students will place themselves around this image. Teacher: Jump to color blue.

After having finished the game, ask the pupils about each color. Teacher: What color is it?

Children: It is blue.

4 | This time ask your students to close their eyes, so that you can remove a Color spots from the palette. When they open their eyes, they will be able to say which is the missing color: Teacher: What color is missing?

Children: It’s red.

5 | Play Hide and Seek: divide the class in two teams and ask a member of each group to leave the classroom. With the rest of the pupils, hide the flashcards in different corners. When the children who had been outside return, they will have to find the colors. Their classmates can clap their hands slowly or faster, if the other ones are getting near.
