Present

30 mins

• Show colourful objects (toys, pictures, classroom items).

Collect

30 mins

• Invite students to share colours they already know in English and their native language.
• Use a visual chart of colours for them to point and name.

Use familiar items from home or classroom. Visual aids with labels. Simplify language to basic vocabulary.

Formulate

30 mins

• Present the problem: "How can we learn all the colours around us?"
• Brainstorm ideas: looking for colours in the classroom, outside, in books.
• Set simple questions: "What colour is the sky? The apple? The shirt?"

Use guiding questions with visuals. Keep the problem framed simply: "Find colours in your world."

Organize

30 mins

• Divide students into small teams.
• Assign tasks: each team finds objects of certain colours.

Build

30 mins

• Teams explore the classroom or environment to find objects of different colours.

Verify and Analyze

30 mins

• Review the collected objects or drawings.
• Show photos or objects and ask: "What colour is this?"

Use visual aids, praise efforts, and reinforce correct vocabulary. Keep questions simple and visual.

Share

30 mins
