All the Colours of the Rainbow

Pass Around Coloured Objects

This is another activity well adapted to young learners. Collect some small "holdable" objects, which have a predominant colour, e.g. a small toy dog that is blue in colour.

 

If possible sit in a circle so that passing the objects around from student to student is natural.

1. Choose an object and name it by saying for example, "This is a blue dog".

2. The student on your right takes the objects and repeats "This is a blue dog" while passing it to the student sitting beside him or her. This continues until the object has been around the circle.

3.As the activity continues, you can pass objects more and more frequently so that the pace doesn't lag. This activity besides teaching vocabulary reinforces the idea that in English the adjective goes before the noun. Objects should be chosen while keeping in mind the age of the students.
