This resource is included in the Colors Unit for
Elementary ELL. Find it in this link here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Colors-Unit-for-Elementary-ELL-Starters-3629423
Use this resource to engage Students with Thematic
Learning. It integrates visual (flashcards, puzzles, board games), auditory (read-and-color, listening activities), and kinesthetic (board games, coloring) elements to cater to diverse learning styles.
Give
each student a gift flashcard. Name a sequence of four colors. The students
with those flashcards stand in the same sequence: orange, pink, blue, black.
Repeat with more sequences.Let’s do Role-Play: Set up a
pretend market on the board. Students "buy" and "sell"
gifts by asking for specific colors: I want the blue gift, please.
Have students match their crayons to the
larger flashcards.
The
set of small cards are useful for more activities:
Hide
the gift flashcards around the room. Call out a gift color, and students search
for the matching gift. You can hide the small card on the board, on a book or
behind the door!
Teacher: Where is the
red gift?
Students: on the book!
By
the way, that’s a book that I made the originals in 2010!
Each
student picks up a card and says their favorite color: My favorite
color is green!
The
small cards work for writing prompts.
The
gift worksheets will encourage students to work at their own pace,
reinforcing self-confidence.
Unscrambling
letters helps students practice spelling and
letter recognition. Then, they can color each gift.
Print
the bingo gift worksheet. Students will color the gifts in any color
they wish. Use the small cars to call out Bingo and students mark or cover the
corresponding gifts on their cards. Save the bingo sheet to play at any other
time since it is ready.
Fun
way to practice listening and matching.
Puzzles
capture students' attention and
encourage active participation. Plan a Puzzle Race. Divide students into teams.
Provide each team with a puzzle set. The first team to complete their puzzle
wins.
Lay the puzzle pieces out. Call out a
color, and students must find the phrase and complete the pocket chart.
Game
board! Students say the colors as they land
on them, improving pronunciation and confidence. As
students land on a present, they must say the color out loud. For an extra
challenge, they can make a sentence (e.g., “The present is red”).
