Procedure:
Warm-up (5 minutes):
·Greet the students and review any previous vocabulary related to colors if
applicable.
·Sing a simple color song or chant together to engage their attention and introduce
the topic.
Introduction (5 minutes):
·Show the flashcards or pictures of different colors one by
one, starting with red.
·Hold up each flashcard and say the color name clearly and
slowly, emphasizing the pronunciation.
·Encourage students to repeat the color name after you as a group.
Listen and Repeat Activity (10 minutes):
·Write the color names on the whiteboard or chart paper, leaving space for
students to see.
·Hold up each flashcard again, one at a time, and say the color name.
·Instruct the students to listen carefully and repeat each color name after you.
·Repeat the process for each color, allowing enough time for students to practice
the pronunciation.
Practice and Application (8 minutes):
·Distribute colorful objects or toys to each student or group.
·Instruct the students to hold up an object of a specific color as you call out the
color name.
·For example, say "Hold up something red!" and students should respond by
raising an object that matches the color.
·Repeat this activity with different colors, providing ample opportunities for
students to practice and reinforce the vocabulary.
Review and Wrap-up (2 minutes):
·Recap the colors learned during the lesson by holding up the flashcards again.
·Have a quick color recognition activity, where you show a flashcard, and students
say the corresponding color name.
·Provide positive reinforcement and praise for their efforts throughout the lesson.
Extension (optional):
· If time permits, you can introduce a simple coloring activity where students
color pictures or worksheets according to the given color names. This will provide
additional practice and reinforcement of the vocabulary.
Note: The timing mentioned is approximate and can be adjusted based on the pace
and needs of the students. Additionally, it's essential to create a positive and
engaging learning environment by using gestures, facial expressions, and
encouraging student participation and interaction throughout the lesson
Lesson Information:
· Lesson Title: Give your lesson a clear and concise title related to the topic or
focus of the lesson.
· Level: Indicate the level or age group of the learners (e.g., preschool, primary
school,early elementary).
·Duration: Estimate the approximate time needed for each activity and the overall
lesson.
Objective(s):
State the specific objectives you want to achieve by the end of the lesson. What
should students be able to do or understand?
Materials:
·List all the materials and resources you will need for the lesson, such as
flashcards, worksheets, or props.
Warm-up/Introduction:
Begin the lesson with an engaging activity or prompt that captures students'
attention and introduces the topic.
·This could include a song, a short video, a picture, or a discussion related to the
lesson topic.
Vocabulary and Language Focus:
·Identify the key vocabulary and language structures you want to introduce or
review in the lesson.
Outline how you will present and practice the vocabulary, ensuring it is age-
appropriate and accessible for young learners.
·Consider using visual aids, gestures, or TPR (Total Physical Response) activities
to reinforce understanding
Practice Activities:
·Design activities that allow students to practice and apply the target vocabulary or
language structures.
·Incorporate interactive and hands-on activities, such as games, pair work, or
group activities, to promote engagement and participation.
·Provide clear instructions and support to ensure students can complete the
activities successfully.
Assessment:
·Plan how you will assess students' understanding and progress during the lesson.

Remember to be flexible and adaptable during the lesson. If an activity takes
longer than expected or if students show a high level of engagement, be ready to
make adjustments to maintain a balance between structure and student-centered
learning.
Writing and reflecting on your own lesson plans will help you become more
familiar with the specific needs of your young learners and develop effective
teaching strategies. Over time, you can refine and improve your lesson plans based
on your experience and feedback from students.
