Explore the objectives of this session and the ordered sequence of games connected to it.
Answer with "It's + colour" and "I have / I'm wearing + colour", and handle the question "What colour is it?". Keep it to single words and two-word chunks the whole group can chant together.
Hear a colour and react to it at speed: point at it, grab it or run to it, then name it. Less prompting than the first pass: the group is expected to answer at game speed. Played out in Little circuit with colours and Colors Relay.
The core colour set in English — red, blue, green, yellow, black and white — recognised the moment it is called and said back out loud. A return to the topic — the words should come without flashcards this time.

We form a circle and sit down, then we repeat the “My name is…” circle. After that, we do a revision of the colours and maybe also ask the children which is their favourite colour: "What is your favourite colour?"
For this game one teacher leaves the first game a bit early to prepare a small circuit. Once the circuit is ready, we ask the children to form a queue (each queue can be assigned a colour.). A teacher demonstrates how to do the circuit. At the end of the circuit another teacher waits for each child and tells them a colour they need to touch. The other teacher stays at the starting line and give each child the signal to go.
Divide the kids into two teams. Place two identical sets of colorful objects (for example, cones or hoops) in front of each team, a few meters away. When the teacher calls out a color, the first child in each team runs to pick up the object of that color and brings it back to the second child in line. When the first object is returned, the teacher calls out a new color. The second child must exchange the object they received for a new one of the correct color, then bring it to the next child in line. The process continues in the same way until every child has had a turn or when the teacher decides to stop.
At the end of the lesson, we all come together in a circle again and we do a short revision of the colours. We touch and repeat the colours together.
