Activité 1
Colour chopsticks race!
Colour chopstick race!
• For this activity you will need a bag of coloured pompom balls and a class set of wooden chopsticks. You can buy both online from site such as Ebay for under a few pounds each.
• Pupils work in groups and collect a pile of pompoms from the teacher and then place in a pile in front of them. The teacher then says a colour and gives the pupils a certain amount of time to pick up as many pompoms as they can with their chopsticks.
• Either the group or the pupil with the most of that colour by the end of the time wins!
• An alternative to chopsticks is to play this with straws and the pupils have to move the pompoms by holding them onto the end of the straw with their breath (as in the next slide!)
• You could also use multi-coloured sweets like Skittles or Mini-Eggs.
I can listen to and show understanding of familiar instructions and language from familiar voices and sources. MLAN 2-01c

• You can play this as a version of corners.
• Place an opinion in each corner of the classroom i.e. J’adore in one corner, j’aime in another etc.
• Go through each of the slides and ask pupils to choose a corner which reflects their opinion about that colour.
• You can then go round each of the corners and ask them to say their opinion as a group
E.g. Tu aimes le bleu?
J’adore le bleu! Etc.

Activité 3
Quelle est ta couleurpréférée?
Survey
Class colour survey1. Pupils can practice asking:
Quelle est ta couleur préférée? by surveying each other around the class.
2. This can then be linked to creating a graph, tally marks etc.
Combien de personnes aiment le jaune? = How many people like yellow
I can take part effectively in prepared conversations by sharing information about myself and others or interests of my choice, using familiar vocabulary and basic language structures. MLAN 2-03b

• Ask pupils to make up colour cards, either on coloured card pieces or coloured in themselves, and write the names of the colours on them in French.
• Then ask them to organise them into a ladder with their favourite at the top and their least favourite at the bottom.
• Then ask them to make up another set of cards with the opinion phrases on the next slide.
• They can then use these to have a follow up conversation in groups.
I can read and demonstrate understanding of words, signs, phrases and simple texts containing mainly familiar language. MLAN 2-08b

Activité 5
Colour speed spelling!
Colour speed spelling!
• For this activity you could use multi-coloured foam letters (like in the picture above), or scrabble tiles (you can buy big bags of these online on sites like Ebay) or you could ask pupils to make up their own letter tiles on card/paper.
• Pupils should work with a partner or in groups.
• Each group has a selection of letters (e.g. 75 letters per group) in the centre of their table.
• The teacher shows a colour slide and the group then has a set time e.g. 1 minute to make up as many of the words for that colour as they can. For example, if the slide is blue, each group should “write” as many bleu as they can.
• The group then gets as many points as words they have made up.

Activité 6 Colour listening apps activity
• The following activity has been developed using free apps to record listening texts about colours. The app names are listed on each slide and can be downloaded following the activity so that pupils can create their own talking recordings! This is a really great way for them to practice talking as it takes some of the fear factor out of it by having it down by a talking monkey (for example!) and is a fun way for pupils to practice talking in French. A sample presentation and conversation are provided for you.
• Listen to each of the following presentations and write down the colours each of them likes and dislikes!
