Vocabulary Colours Aim to teach at least 5 of the colours at Early Level initially and build up as pupils progress towards 1 st. Che colore e`? What colour is it? E`It is blublue biancowhite rossored verde green giallo yellow rosa pink neroblack grigiogrey violapurple marrone brown Ti piace il blu?Do you like blue? Io amo I love Mi piace I like Non mi piaceI don’t like Io odio I hate

For Early/First Level, start with about 5 only and work your way up to all the colours!

Introducing vocabulary You can try this as an alternative to introducing vocabulary. Make colour cards for and give each group/pair a set. Ask them to listen to the colour and look at the word and then hold up the colour they think it is.

Portami… For this activity, put pupils into rainbow groups by giving each pupil a card which is either blue, red, green or yellow and asking them to form a group with 4 colours. They can also say their colour as they are moving around the class. Ask them to introduce themselves using Buongiorno etc. Then teacher asks a different colour each time to bring them an object of a colour. E.g. La persona rossa portami l’oggetto verde!

Portami 1.Portami un oggetto means “Bring me an object” 2.Pupils work in teams/cooperative groups 3.Teacher calls out “Portami un oggetto” and adds a colour onto the end e.g. Portami un oggetto blu 4.The pupils must race to give the teacher something that colour. 5.You can ask pupils to then say what colour it is e.g. E` rosso. 6.Pupils can also then take a turn of asking others to “Portami un oggetto….!”

I gruppi dell` arcobaleno

Presentarsi in gruppo. Buongiorno Come stai? Io mi chiamo… Il mio colore preferito e`….

Portami un oggetto….

Cosa manca? Qu’est-ce qui manque? means what’s missing? Pupils look at the colours on the following slides, close their eyes, teacher moves the slide on and one colour will disappear. Pupils then open their eyes and have to say which colour is missing. You can then get pupils to do the same activity in their groups.

Guardate I colori. Cosa manca? Chiudete gli occhi. Aprite gli occhi.

Si, e`il blu!

Si, e` il rosa!

Quale colore ti piace? Asking the class their opinions on colours. Finish the sentence on each slide. You can play this as corners by putting up opinions in corners of the room and then asking pupils to move to an area of the room which matches their opinion of that colour.

Class colour survey 1.Pupils can practice asking Ti piace…+ a colour by surveying each other around the class. This can then be linked to creating a graph, tally marks etc. Quale colore ti piace? Means which colour do you like? And could be used as a title for a graph. A quante persone piace il giallo? = How many people like yellow

La canzone a colori

Filastrocca dei colori.

FILASTROCCA DEI COLORI Noi siamo il rosso e il giallo facciamo insieme un ballo e per combinazione esce fuori l'arancione. Noi siamo il giallo e il blu corriamo su e giù qualcuno poi si perde e si ritrova il verde. Noi siamo il rosso e il blu guardiamo sempre in su stiam sotto le lenzuola finchè non siamo viola. Noi siamo il rosso e il nero siam complici davvero e col giallo sul balcone facciamo un bel marrone. Noi siamo il bianco e il rosso ridiamo a più non posso poi ci mettiamo in posa ed esce fuori il rosa. E poi tanti colori la manna dei pittori. Ognun fa la sua parte per darci un tocco d'arte. Filastrocca dei colori e tutti siam pittori. Filastrocca dei colori giallo, rosso e blu!
