countries, cultures and languages • Appreciate and understand the value of language learning • Recognise familiar written words when listening • Explore how gesture, expression and emphasis are used to help

understanding.• Listen, recognise and respond to familiar voices in short, predictable

conversations• Understand and respond to familiar spoken vocabulary• Actively take part in daily routines• Listen and join in with stories, song or poem• Enjoy engaging with simple and familiar texts on my own and with others

using resources to support learning • Participate in familiar games, paired speaking and short role plays • Take part in simple, paired conversations about themselves giving simple

For Early/First Level, start with about 5 only and

work your way up to all the colours!

Embedding the language tip

Use Italian colours for cooperative groups – I rossi, I verdi etc.

Ask pupils “Di che colore e`?” when reading stories, creating art work etc.

This is not a prescriptive list of activities and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class.

Portami…• For this activity, put pupils into rainbow

groups by giving each pupil a card which is either blue, red, green or yellow and asking them to form a group with 4 colours. They can also say their colour as they are moving around the class.

• Ask them to introduce themselves using Buongiorno etc.

• Then teacher asks a different colour each time to bring them an object of a colour. E.g. La persona rossa portami l’oggetto verde!

Portami

1. Portami un oggetto means “Bring me an object” 2. Pupils work in teams/cooperative groups 3. Teacher calls out “Portami un oggetto” and

adds a colour onto the end e.g. Portami un oggetto blu

4. The pupils must race to give the teacher something that colour.

5. You can ask pupils to then say what colour it is e.g. E` rosso.

6. Pupils can also then take a turn of asking others to “Portami un oggetto….!”

I gruppi dell` arcobaleno

Presentarsi in gruppo.

Buongiorno

Come stai?

Io mi chiamo…

Il mio colore preferito e`….

Portami un oggetto….

Cosa manca?

• Qu’est-ce qui manque? means what’s missing?

• Pupils look at the colours on the following slides, close their eyes, teacher moves the slide on and one colour will disappear. Pupils then open their eyes and have to say which colour is missing.

• You can then get pupils to do the same activity in their groups.

Guardate I colori.

Asking the class their opinions on colours. Finish the sentence on each slide. You can play this as corners by putting up opinions in corners of the room and then asking pupils to move to an area of the room which matches their opinion of that colour.

Class colour survey1. Pupils can practice asking Ti piace…+ a colour by

surveying each other around the class. This can then be linked to creating a graph, tally marks etc.

Quale colore ti piace? Means which colour do you like? And could be used as a title for a graph.

A quante persone piace il giallo? = How many people like yellow

• Noi siamo il rosso e il nero• siam complici davvero• e col giallo sul balcone• facciamo un bel marrone.

• Noi siamo il bianco e il rosso• ridiamo a più non posso• poi ci mettiamo in posa• ed esce fuori il rosa.

• E poi tanti colori• la manna dei pittori.• Ognun fa la sua parte• per darci un tocco d'arte.
