UNIT 2

Lesson 3

Objective

3 | Play Right or Wrong, taking advantage of the information your pupils previously shared. Make a statement for each of them: if you are right with the information they will have to say Yes!

Teacher: Matías, your favorite color is black.

Child: Yes!

Materials

To learn how to identify and apply questions and answers. Flashcard of the unit, paper tape, paint, brochette sticks, wool.

Playful activities

1 | Begin the lesson making a line on the floor with paper tape. The length will depend on the amount of students you have. Half of the cards will be to a side of the tape, and the rest of the images will be on the other section. Once everybody is ready, mention colors at random so that the children jump in that direction.

Teacher: Red! (your pupils will jump to the front or the back, depending on where the color is).

Mention the colors faster, to make the activity entertaining. Bear in mind to explain that it is not necessary to step on the flashcard: just jumping towards that direction will be fine, and you will avoid shoving.

2 | Introduce the expressions What’s your favorite color? / My favorite color is… In order to accomplish this aspect place the cards on the floor and ask the children to sit around. Make all of the pupils the same question and provide them with a big hand. As they answer, the pupils have to touch the card of their choice. Encourage them to use full expressions.

Teacher: What’s your favorite color, Manuel?

Child: My favorite color is blue!

Teacher: What’s your favorite color, Ana?

Child: My favorite color is pink!

In some cases try to say the wrong information so that the children have the chance of correcting you: Teacher: Ana, your favorite color is green. Child: No! My favorite color is pink!

4 | Stick the flashcards on different walls of the classroom: all the children will have to place themselves in front of the colors, and move their eyes in the direction you name them. Do it faster to make the activity engaging.

5 | For the next activity you will need a small ball. On each case, a child will throw the ball up and once he/ she catches it, they will have to name a color. Next, this student will throw the ball again, this time to a classmate. Allow all of them to participate.

6 | Play The Secret. Choose a flashcard at random avoiding the pupils to see it. They will be formed in a line; whisper the name of the color to the one who is next to you. This child will repeat the word to his/her classmate, keeping it as a whisper. The last pupil of the line will have to shout the color. Choose new flashcards, and let everybody take the position of the last one. Another option is that instead of shouting, the last member of the line runs to touch an object with the mentioned color. His/her classmates will have to say Yes! or No!, depending on whether the color is the correct one or not.

Page 19 - Cut, listen and paint

Your students (or you, in advance) must cut out the palette from page 107. Then together you will listen to the track, and will paint the stains. It would also be great if you could make a brush and apply it to different activities. For example once you mention a color, they must pretend they are painting with it. You could also play the track again, and ask them to place the brush on each stain according to what they hear.

To make the brush you will need a brochette stick for each student, and 10 to 15 threads of wool, of 5cm aprox. Stick the threads with transparent adhesive tape. Do not forget to write the owner’s name behind each palette. Finally ask the children to paste the palette on the book.
