rojo per student, 1 amarillo per student, etc.). Hold up the first colored paper and elicit the
color (e.g. rojo). Chorus and practice saying the color. Then pass the colored paper around
the class so each student can hold and say the color. Do this for the rest of the colors.
2. Play "Color Stand Up and Jump"
Give out all of the colored papers, 1 color per student. Tell
your students to sit down. Say a color (e.g. "rojo") and the
students holding that color have to quickly stand up, jump and
then sit down. Start off slowly and get faster and faster.
3. Play "Touch the Colors on Posters"
If your classroom has lots of colorful posters on the walls,
this is a great activity to do. Demonstrate by shouting out a
color (e.g. "rojo"). Run to a poster and touch anywhere that
has a rojo color. Do the same for another color (e.g. "azul").
Each time run to a new poster. Now have the students do
the activity – shout out a color and have them all run
around the classroom touching the colors on posters.
4. Do "Color the Circles" activity
Before class, prepare 7 large sheets of white paper (or if you are
teaching less colors that day, enough sheets of paper for the
colors you are teaching). On each sheet draw a large circle which
fills up the sheet (or download and print our wall circle sheet).
Then stick the sheets on the walls of the classroom, at a height
your students can reach. At this point of your lesson, take out
your colored pencils/crayons and demonstrate the activity. Walk
around the class and color a small part of each circle with one
color (always say the color as you are coloring). So there will be one circle with some rojo
color in it, one with amarillo, and so on. Next, tell your students to take out their colored
pencils/crayons. Have them walk around the classroom, coloring in a bit of each circle with
the same colors you used. Make sure they say the color as they do each coloring.
5. Play "Point at the Colored Circles"
Have all of your students sit down. Call out a color and
demonstrate by pointing at the colored circle on the wall. Do all of
the colors in the order of the song, with the students pointing at
the different colored circles.
6. Sing "La Canción del Arco Iris" (The Rainbow Song)
The first time you play the song, put up the La Canción del Arco Iris song poster on the
board. Quickly elicit the colors. Play the song and sing along, touching the colors as you
sing. You can even invite a student to come up to the board and touch the colors with you.
