Grade Level: Grade 1
Subject: English
Duration: 40 minutes
Topic: Colors and Numbers (1-10)
I. Lesson Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
1. Recognize and say the names of basic colors in English (red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple).
2. Identify and count numbers from 1 to 10.
3. Match colors with corresponding number words when shown simple pictures or objects.
4. Participate in a fun and interactive activity using English vocabulary.
II. Materials Needed
- Colorful flashcards with images (e.g., red apple, blue car, green grass)
- Number cards (1–10)
- A whiteboard and markers
- Small toys or objects in different colors
- A short song or chant about colors and numbers
III. Warm-Up (5 minutes)
Start the class by greeting the students in English.
Teacher: "Good morning, boys and girls!"
Students: "Good morning, teacher!"
Then, play a short warm-up song or chant that introduces colors and numbers. For example:
> "Red, red, what color is it?
> Red is the color of an apple.
> One, two, three, four, five...
> Let’s count together with me!"
This helps activate their prior knowledge and gets them ready for the lesson.
IV. New Vocabulary (10 minutes)
Introduce the following words one by one using visual aids and repetition:
Colors:
- Red
- Blue
- Green
- Yellow
- Orange
- Purple
Numbers (1–10):
- One
- Two
- Three
- Four
- Five
- Six
- Seven
- Eight
- Nine
- Ten
Use flashcards and point to each picture while saying the word clearly. Encourage students to repeat after you.
Example:
Teacher: "What color is this?"
Show a red apple.
Students: "Red!"
Teacher: "Great! Now, how many apples are there?"
Show one apple.
Students: "One!"
V. Interactive Activities (20 minutes)
Activity 1: Color and Number Matching Game
Place several colored objects on the table. Ask students to pick up an object and name its color and number.
Teacher: "Can you take a red one?"
Student: "Yes, I take a red one."
Repeat with other colors and numbers.
Activity 2: Group Counting
Divide the class into small groups. Each group has a set of number cards. The teacher calls out a number, and the group must show the correct card.
Teacher: "Show me five!"
Groups raise the number 5 card.
Activity 3: Singing Time
Sing a simple song that combines colors and numbers. For example:
> "One little bird, flying high,
> Two little birds, singing so sweetly.
> Three little ducks, swimming in the lake,
> Four little frogs, jumping on the break."
This reinforces both counting and vocabulary in a fun way.
VI. Review and Assessment (5 minutes)
Ask students a few quick questions to check their understanding:
- What color is the apple?
- How many pencils do you have?
- Can you count from one to ten?
Praise them for their efforts and encourage them to practice at home.
VII. Homework (Optional)
Give students a simple worksheet with pictures of objects and ask them to circle the correct color and write the number.
VIII. Conclusion
At the end of the class, summarize what they learned and remind them to keep practicing. End with a friendly goodbye.
Teacher: "Today we learned colors and numbers. Great job, everyone! See you next time!"
Students: "See you, teacher!"
IX. Notes for Teacher
- Use positive reinforcement and encouragement throughout the lesson.
- Adjust the pace based on the students’ level of understanding.
