Teaching: Our colourful world

PRE-TEACHING

When children enter in the class, the lights will be turn off. The teacher will ask to them what is their favourite colour, and they will try to say the colour in english, if not the teacher will repeat this colour well and she will have got a lantern with shiny paper of diferent colours. She will focus on the wall with the lantern. To continue, children will repeat the colour that is on the wall and when it will be their favourite colour they will have to go there and say it.

To finish the pre-teaching the teacher will sing a song about de colors and when it says the favourite colour of each one they will have to jump. You can find songs here:

But in class we sang this one:

Red red the apple is red, the apple is red red red.
Green green the tree is green, the tree is green green green.
Blue blue the sky is blue, the sky is blue blue blue.
Yellow yellow the lemon is yellow, the lemon is yellow yellow yellow.
Orange orange the pumpkin is orange, the pumpkin ir orange orange orange.

ACTUAL-TEACHING

For learning the colours is necessary to motivate the pupils, so the teacher will do some planets with the colours of the story and she will give to them one.

The voice sound is very important and teacher can change the sound depend on the colour. When the planet of the story will be red children with the red planet will have to stand up and show it and this with the rest of the colours.

We think that is a good idea for learning the colours if the interact and they feel that they are in the story.

POST-TEACHING

When the story had finished the teacher will prove if children have learned the colours, so the teacher can say one colour in loud voice and the have to touch something in the class of this colour.

Then the teacher can ask about the colours, and use some pictures, for exemple: What colour is the lemon?, What colour is the tree? What colour is the sea?... and they will answer.
