Introduction

Good morning, little ones! Let’s start our English lesson with a fun and exciting activity. Today, we are going to learn about colors and shapes. Yay!

Warm-up

But before that, let’s have a little warm-up. Can you tell me what color is your shirt or dress? Hmm, that’s a nice red shirt you have there! How about you? What color is your hairband? Oh, it’s pink! That’s wonderful!

The Color Song

Now that we have warmed up, are you ready to sing and dance with me? Let’s sing the Color Song!

(Teacher sings the song while showing pictures of different colored objects)

Red, red, what do you see?
I see an apple looking at me!
Orange, orange, what do you see?
I see a pumpkin looking at me!
Yellow, yellow, what do you see?
I see a sunflower looking at me!
Green, green, what do you see?
I see a frog looking at me!
Blue, blue, what do you see?
I see a bird looking at me!
Purple, purple, what do you see?
I see a butterfly looking at me!

Conclusion

Great job, little ones! That was an amazing performance! Now that we have learned about colors, let’s move on to our next activity. But before that, let’s give ourselves a round of applause for singing and dancing so well! Well done!
