Introduction. Listen and answer

Teacher: Hello, what’s your name? 

Student: My name is________.

Teacher: I’m ______________.      

Welcome to the class!                      

Student: Thank you. ________.

The alphabet. Listen and repeat

–– Say each letter and ask students to repeat. Alternatively, sing a song, to make it more fun. Once the students are already familiar with the English alphabet, teacher encourages them to work in pairs and spell/ pronounce their names to their partner.

Introducing colors

Call some students on the board and name  colors or spell the colors black, white, yellow, green, red, gray, blue (in whatever order) and have the students write on the board.

Match the colors with the words

– Let the students match the color with the correct word. Have them spell and pronounce the colors together.

Remember! GrAy is in America, and grEy is in England!

Look at the pictures. Write the colors you see

– Four pictures of Pokémon Go characters are shown below. Students must list all the colors they see against each character. The idea here is to encourage students to identify as many colors as they see.

Color the Pokémon Go characters as you wish. Write what colors you used under each character.

Students use only red, black, white, green, gray, yellow and blue to color the characters below. They can use 3 different colors (any of the above) for each character when they color. When done, they list the colors they’ve used for each character. Then ask a number of students what colors they’ve used for character No 1, 2, 3 and 4.
