Colours ESL Lesson Bundle | 2 Interactive Lessons for First Graders

Teach colours through games, movement, matching and meaningful repetition with two ready-to-teach ESL lessons designed especially for young learners!

Looking for a way to teach colours without spending the entire lesson showing flashcards or asking students to colour worksheets?

This colourful, hands-on teaching package gives you a complete sequence of activities that helps children recognise, name and use colours in English while staying actively involved throughout the lesson.

Students begin by exploring colours with our friendly paint-can characters. They then practise through sorting games, spinners, matching puzzles, memory games, patterns, bingo and interactive speaking activities.

As the lessons progress, students also connect colours to familiar objects and begin recognising written colour words.

Two lessons, plenty of purposeful repetition and a variety of activities that keep students learning through play!

Why teachers will love it

This package is designed to make colour lessons interactive and purposeful.

Instead of introducing vocabulary once and moving straight to a worksheet, students encounter the same language through different activities, giving them repeated opportunities to listen, respond, identify, match and speak.

The two suggested lesson sequences help you organise the materials into a clear teaching progression, while the reusable games can also be brought back for revision throughout the school year.

Perfect for: First graders and beginner young ESL learners.

Format: 62-page printable PDF with two suggested lessons and reusable classroom games.

Print, prepare and teach. Everything you need for two engaging colour lessons in one package!
