Objective:[[image:autumn_tree.jpg width="73" height="90" align="right"]]
To revise and practise colours: //rouge, bleu, blanc, noir, marron, vert, jaune, rose, violet, orange, gris//

Resources:
Colour flashcards and worksheets if desired but not necessary (see below) // (Teachers note: Children will no doubt try to tell you that 'we've done colours' but they will need constant reminders like this lesson to truly embed that learning. Can the children spell the vocabulary accurately and without support as well as say it?) // || * Try some worksheets from Primary Resources home Digital Dialects music & support for 'Rap des Couleurs' ||
 * ~  ||~ Description ||~ Resources ||
 * ~ Starter || * Revise colours as a game: Either with children sitting (or if in a hall, walking around but not touching each other) the teacher then calls out ‘//Touchez quelque-chose noir’// (touch something black) and the children must race to hold up or touch something of the appropriate colour.
 * Alternatively hold up coloured cards and ask children to repeat the colour after you.
 * Gradually build their confidence until you feel you can ask for a volunteer/volunteers to take the part of the teacher for a few games. || * media type="file" key="35 - colours.mp3" width="240" height="20"

 * ~ Main Activity || * Choose and play some of the following activities to revise the colours:
 *  Colour Bingo ; children use crayons to make a grid of 9 colours (arranged 3X3) as teacher calls a colour in French they cross it off.
 *  Colour dice (see template) make the dice, roll it & call out the colour in French. Play in groups or pairs.
 * Bodyshape colours - e ncourage the children// to listen carefully to the sound of the colour words and to use their whole body in a gesture that imitates that sound, //such as a rounded gesture for rouge, stretching for ** jaune ** and flopping forwards for ** bleu **.
 *  Snail race game ; Early Start scheme of work has a template of board game or maybe there is an English copy in your reception class you can borrow?
 *  Human ‘colour line’ . Give children coloured cards and ask them to form into a line according to the colours you call out in French.
 *  Colour sequence listening game . Teacher calls out sequence of colours, eg bleu, rouge, vert, & places multi-link cubes in the same sequence on tables. Invite individuals to say the colour sequence aloud. Challenge children in pairs to produce own sequences for the class to identify.
