Playful activities

1 | As the first game, ask the children to sit in a circle. Throw a ball to one of them while you ask him/her what their favorite color is. This pupil will answer and then will throw the ball to another classmate, making the same question. Continue the activity until everybody has participated.

Teacher: What is your favorite color?

Child 1: It is red. What´s your favorite color?

Child 2: It is blue. What´s your favorite color?

2 | Beforehand build a rainbow out of paper, with eight divisions. On each section color with paint of one of the colors you are teaching. Then cut out the pieces to separate one from the other. In class tell the children that they are going to help you assemble a rainbow. To do it, put all the pieces on the floor and call a volunteer. Mention a color and once the child finds it, stick some paper tape behind, to place it on the board. The next color you mention will be the next one in the rainbow. Once it is complete, ask the pupils to name all the colors they see. You may indicate them to do it from the top to the bottom, or in the opposite direction.

3 | Use the Step and speak provided in your book. Place them on the floor in the shape of a path. Explain the students that they are in an enchanted forest where they only have to step on the footprints to move. They must mention the colors as they walk over them until they reach the end of the forest. The ones who commit a mistake must stay ‘freezed’ for one turn. Beware of the fact that the footprints should not be too apart from one another, so that everybody can participate.

4 | Now make a circle with the footprints and choose eight children to participate first. They will dance around the footprints as they listen to the song of the unit. Stop the music and indicate each of the eight pupils to say what the color they see at their feet is. Later on call eight different students to play.

5 | In your Magical Bag put figures of different elements with their characteristic colors, for example a sun, an orange, a leaf, etc. The children will be sitting in front of you and as you take the figures out from the bag, you will make questions:

Teacher: Look at the sun. What color is it?

Children: It is yellow.

Page 21 - Listen and circle

Propose listening to the track, which contains six different colors. The children should point at them and name them, if you consider it necessary you could pause the track to make sure everybody follows the directions. Then mention a color so that the children circle the paint can of each line. Do not forget to use complete expressions.

Teacher: Number one is blue. Also, keep in mind that each circle should have a different color.
