Colours

- Pass the Ball game - Split the class into 2 groups sitting on
the floor in circles (it's helpful if there is another teacher in the
room with you, but not necessary), and on the wall or
blackboard make a row of various color flashcards. The first
child hold
s the ball and says the name of the first color, then throws it to
anyone else in the group. If the child catches it, they say the
next color name, but if they miss it/drop it, they must start
from the beginning again. Very helpful with color names the
kids' can't remember, make the hard ones the 1st and 2nd in
order and the kids will be repeating them a million times during
the game.

The Ball
Throw the ball to a student and ask that student a question.
The student answers and throws the ball to another student
asking the same question. E.g. "Can you...?", "Yes, I can. /
No, I can't." "Do you like...?", "Yes, I do. / No, I don't."
- Drawing game - Give each child a blank piece of paper and
have them sit in a big circle with their pencils. Instruct them
that you are going to draw a person together, but only one part
at a time. Tell them the name of a single face part and give
them 20-30 seconds to draw it, then shout "STOP!" and have
them pass their paper to the child to their right, and start with
the next face part and another 20-30 seconds. After 6 or so
kids have gone and the face is complete, tell the last child that

this is their present - either their own face in the future, or the
face of their child, future spouse, etc.
