Colours Aim to teach at least 5 of the colours at Early Level initially and build up as pupils progress towards 1st. C’est de quelle couleur? What colour is it? C’est It is bleu blue blanc white rouge red vert green jaune yellow rose pink noir black gris grey violet purple marron brown Vocabulary
Embedding the language Whenever colours feature as part of an activity or story ask the question, “C’est de quelle couleur?” to prompt pupils to tell you what colour something is in French. For example in art activities, colour mixing, stories, looking a pictures etc.
Sample activities You will find a bank of sample activities which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the classroom. This is not a prescriptive list of activities and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class. You will find a set of more supported activities in Early Feelings and more challenging activities in Level 2 Feelings.
Trouve le! • Trouve le means “Find the” • Pupils have a selection of objects which are different colours in front of them. • Teacher calls out “trouve le” and adds a colour onto the end e.g. Trouve le rouge! • The pupils must then hold up whichever object is that colour. • You can ask pupils to then say what colour it is e.g. C’est rouge. • Pupils can also then take a turn of asking others to “Trouve le…”
Colours circle game • Pupils sit in a circle, close their eyes and count to ten in French • Whilst they are counting the teacher puts an object in the centre of the circle. • Once they reach ten they open their eyes (ouvrez les yeux!) • They then have to say what colour the object is. • This can be extended by passing the object around the circle and counting and whoever it lands on at the count of ten, has to say what colour it is e.g. “C’est bleu” or just “bleu”
Modelling dough • Modelling dough is a good kinesthetic way to reinforce the colours and can be used to create objects with the teacher asking for particular colours in French. • For example can ask pupils to “Créez quelquechose…bleu!” (create something…blue!) and then they pick the correct colour and make an object. • Another approach would be to combine numbers and colours e.g. Cinq rouges! And pupils would have to form whatever number of coloured balls using the modelling dough.
Songs and videos! You will find a bank of sample songs and videos which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the classroom. This is not a prescriptive list of songs and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class.
