Materials

Flashcards from this unit, Color spin (Games), chips of different colors, tins wrapped in paper (four).

Playful activities

1 | With time, make some chips of the side of a big coin in artistic cardboard of different colors (five or six coins of each color would be enough). Hide them in the classroom before the children arrive, or else ask them to leave for a moment. On the board give a number to each color. At your signal your students will look for the chips, and once they finish you will check what is the score for each child. The winner of the game is the student who gets the highest score.

2 | Use the same chips from the former activity; give out a coin to each child, without the others seeing it. When you mention a color, all the children who possess it will gather together. Continue naming other colors.

3 | Take four tins and wrap each half (upper and lower sides) of them with a piece of colored paper (choose the same colors that the chips have). Therefore, you will obtain eight colors in four wrapped tins. Divide the children in two teams and explain them that each group will own two tins. Once the tins are placed under the board, and the students are at the other side of the room, put the chips on the floor. At your signal, both teams will run to put the chips inside the corresponding tins. The first group to do it correctly is the winner.

4 | Another good activity you can try is to run races. Ask the children to separate in two lines. Each team will be assigned with a color. The first student of each line will put themselves in all fours and will place a chip on their back. The objective is to move as quickly as possible towards your direction, to give you the chip. Then the other members of the lines will continue playing. The winning team is the one which gives away all the chips.

5 | This time you will need the Color spin to play with the children. Your students will be sitting in a semi circle and you will place yourself in front of them. The volunteers will spin the arrow, on each occasion, name the obtained color.

The children will listen to the dialogue, to find out what is the color mentioned in it. Then divide the class in halves to represent the conversation: each group will repeat the sentences of the corresponding character. You could even show them other flashcards, for the students to replace the color mentioned. Once this oral activity is completed, ask the children to color the dice from page 107. Make sure the children use a different color for each side of the dice. Later cut out the dices and assemble them (you could save a lot of time if you cut out the dices in advance!). Once everybody has their dice, they could play the guessing game: the volunteer names a color and throws the dice, expecting it to show the color previously mentioned.
