This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching colors to young students in English. The lesson aims to teach students to recognize and name four colors - red, yellow, blue, and green - through songs, pictures, and activities. Students will practice their listening and speaking skills. The lesson includes a warm-up activity introducing students and a puppet, presenting the colors through pictures and songs, developing colors recognition through games, and closing with another song. Students are assigned homework of coloring pictures of characters in the correct colors.

 Aims or goals:
 During this lesson students will be able to recognize four different colours
(red, yellow, blue and green) and learn how to name each of them applying
the correct pronunciation of the new vocabulary.
 Learners will make use of their listening comprehension skills when they
listen to the teacher, their peers and the songs. They’ll also put into practice
their speaking skills, when they interact with their peers in a game, or when
they answer their teacher’s questions.
 Learners will put into practice their background knowledge when they
recognize the cartoon characters, which will help to create the context in
which they’ll learn the colours.
 Regarding the multiple intelligences by Spratt et al,2005. They’ll use the
kinaesthetic (with the help of songs, they learn using and moving their
bodies) the visual (they’ll learn through seeing pictures and objects) and the
auditory (they’ll learn through hearing the teacher and the songs.)
 Teaching points: The colours
 Language focus:

3.  Teaching approach or combination of methods / approaches: Communicative
approach- PPP method.
 Integration of skills: What skills will be integrated and how? The skills that will be
integrated during this lesson are listening and speaking skills.
I didn’t include reading or writing skills, because they’re little kids (from 2 years and
9/10 months to 4 years old).They haven’t developed their fine motor skill yet and
they don’t even know how to write their names.
 Materials and resources: pictures, a fluffy toy, a bag, kerchiefs, a netbook, the
board, and a ball.
 Pedagogical use of ICT in class or at home: I’ll use my netbook to listen to the songs.
Unfortunately the kindergarten doesn’t have a LCD , so I won’t be able to use
videos.
 Seating arrangement: They’ll be sitting in a semi-circle on their chairs.
 Possible problems / difficulties and their possible solutions during the class: Maybe
some of the children start talking about something that happened to them last
week, or they can talk about their toys or the movies they watched at the cinema
with their parents. So, the teacher can say wow, that’s great!! But now, we’re in the
English lesson…so we have to listen to the teacher and pay attention. Then, at the
end of the lesson you can tell us about it.
 Potential problems students may havewith the language: Maybe they pronounce
the ‘R’ like they pronounce it in their mother tongue (a strong R). So the teacher can
pronounce the word ‘red’ slowly showing them that it’s a weak ‘r’.
Assessment: I’ll teach students using pictures and songs. I’ll check if students
understand or not by observing them and asking them Is it clear? (I’ll put my finger
up) or not? (I’ll put my finger down)
Mandatory lesson stages:
 Routine: 5’
Teacher: Hello children! I’m Miss Lorena. Now I’m going to sing a Hello song! You
can stand up and move your hands while I’m singing. (While I’m giving this
instruction, I’ll do mimes so they can understand what I’m saying)

Observations Well done, Lore! It`s a lively and interesting lesson, with characters that are
familiar to them. You included a character, Molly the dog, that can help you
develop the lessons cohesively.
The song is lovely. Try to help learners learn it. At first, they can just name the
colours. You can use the kerchiefs, as well.
Enjoy the lesson!
