Activity 1: Warm-up and review · 8 minutes
Colour chant and review
Aims
Ss warm up their voices and recall the colour words from Lesson 1 so they are ready for the new words.
Content
T leads a short chant of the colour words Ss already know (red, blue, yellow, pink, and so on). Then T shows a picture of several objects and asks 'What colour is it?' to revise the singular structure before the new plural structure.
Expected outcomes
Ss say the colour words chorally and answer the question 'What colour is it?' with 'It's + colour' correctly.

Teacher
T says: 'Hello, class! Let's do a colour chant. Stand up and follow me.' T chants: 'Red, red, red! Blue, blue, blue! Yellow, yellow, yellow!' and invites Ss to join.

Teacher
T shows a picture of a single pencil case and asks: 'What colour is it?' T models the answer: 'It's blue.' Then T asks individual Ss to answer with other pictures.

Pupils
Ss answer: 'What colour is it?' and 'Yes, we are ready!'
Teacher
T praises the class and writes the new topic 'Colours - Lesson 2' on the board.
