If
they cannot guess then tell them they are going to make a Christmas tree.

Show
them the bright and coloured papers you have collected and get them to
say the colours they see on a tree. Stick decorations to your tree as

8.
COMMENTS: we will have to help the
little ones.
9.
VARIATION: if children are just
learning the colours and are not very confident at speaking, we will
have to convert it into a listening exercise by telling them which
colours to take from the pile of papers. Another variation can be
sticking on a wall a big green triangle, low enough for
the children to reach. All the children help to decorate the
class tree.

have to put your hands in the place were number one is written.

DESCRIPTION: Children decorate eggs.
6.
MATERIALS: One hard-boiled egg
or a paper one
per
child and one for the teacher, coloured crayons
or pencils.
7.
IN CLASS:
-
The
first thing we have to do is talking about the tradition of Easter.
-
Revise
colours by showing the colours and eliciting the names for them.
-
Show
the children how to decorate an egg.
-
Give
each child an egg and let them decorate it following instructions but
letting them do it as they like. For example paint with red.
-
To
deal with the tradition we can hide the eggs and let the children look
for them with clues like hot or cold (explaining to them or with
pictures of a sun and snow).
8.
COMMENTS: Parents will have to bring
the boiled eggs.
9.
VARIATION: dividing the class in
groups children have to say the colour that they are going to use. For
example the first group is given a card with a colour and another with a number. The
numbers will be the order of the group that will start and the card of the colour will be the one that they will have to paint. Instead
of using boiled eggs pupils can decorate a drawing of it
and after finding it they can use it as an easter card or to decorate
the class.
10.
EVALUATION CRITERIA: We will
evaluate through the materials presented in class.
We will expect them to identify and name the objects of the
vocabulary presented and
to follow instructions correctly.

story.

MATERIALS: Pictures or masks of the characters and a puppet for
the king.
7.
IN CLASS:
-
Tell
the children that in many English speaking countries the Easter Rabbit
takes chocolate eggs to the children. Ask children what a rabbit looks
like. To introduce the story, tell them that rabbits have not always
long ears and that you are going to tell them how they got long ears.
-
Tell
the story. Use mime to give some visual back-up to the words.
-
The
next part of the lesson will be doing masks of the characters of the
story. Each child will have to choose a character and they will paint
the pattern given.
-
After
doing the mask we can represent the story as many times as we want
because children love stories and they will like the idea of being the
characters.
8.
COMMENTS: The ears of the mask of
the rabbit can grow as the story says it. These
activities can be used in carnival as well. In the representation
the pupils will mime the
actions after the teacher.
9.
VARIATION: Children can do finger
puppets of the characters of the story.
10.
STORY: Why do rabbits
have long ears?
Once
upon a time the King of the Animals decided to give all the animals
names.
He
said, "you are a lion"
"You
are a monkey"
"You
are a crocodile"
"You
are a frog"
"You
are a tiger"
"You
are a hippo"
And
finally he said to the rabbit "you are a rabbit".
But
rabbits have terrible memories and rabbit could not remember his name.
"Oh
no! I can't remember my name".
So
he went to the king and said "I'm sorry. I can't remember my name".
"You are a rabbit", said the king. "Oh, thank you!"
said the rabbit. The rabbit went away, "I'm a rab-ra-r. Oh, no! I
can't remember my name."
So
the rabbit went to the king and said, "I'm sorry. I can't remember
my name".
"You
are a rabbit". Said the king. "Oh, thank you!" said the
rabbit and went away, I'm a rab-ra-r. Oh, no! I can't remember my name.
So the rabbit went to the king and said "I'm sorry. I can't
remember my name". The king was angry and he shook the rabbit by
the ears "you are a rabbit, rabbit, rabbit", said the king.
"Oh, yes. I'm a rabbit"
The
rabbit went away, I'm a rab-ra-r. Oh, no! I can't remember my name.
The
Rabbit went for a walk and he saw a (animal)
"What
is your name?" said the rabbit.
"My
name is (animal)"
The
rabbit said, "my names is rab-ra-r. Oh, no! I can't remember my
name. Goodbye!" Suddenly his ears grew just a little bit. And he
continued until he saw (animal)
"What
is your name?" said the rabbit.
"My
name is (animal)"
(Repeat
the black part with all the animals)
The
rabbit's ears were long and he suddenly remembered the king "my
name is rabbit. Hello (animal), my name is rabbit. Hello (animals)."

7.
IN CLASS:
-
We
can celebrate the birthday party each month.
-
The
first thing we have to do is divide the class in groups, as many groups
as children
have their birthday in that month. We have to give a page of the
newspaper to each
group and giving the steps and doing a model the pupils have to do a
simple hat.
-
The second activity will be decorating the hat, they will do it
freely
but they
will have to
put in the hat the number of the age
(given by the teacher).
-
The next activity is painting a big birthday cake situated on a
wall
following the
instructions of the teacher.
-
They will colour the candles too in the colours that the teacher
says. After
painting the
cake and the candles, we will revise the colours all together,
we
can ask for the colour pointing,
asking
them to repeat, asking them to
stick a candle of a colour, asking them to look for a candle in the cake... it
depends on the age of the
pupils and the confidence they have in that learning.
-
The last part of the class will be singing all together
"Happy
Birthday" accompanying the song with mimic.
