Colours in Russian

Teaching vocabulary

1. Acquisition of vocabulary as isolated items

Notes:
You decide which activities are suitable for your lesson/ class.
For example:
- If your students are very little, you might not need to teach spelling at all.
- If your students are already very familiar with written English (A2+), you can assign spelling exercises as homework.

2. Application of vocabulary in
useful language

1. Drawing:
T: Draw a Triceratops. Colour it pink.

2. Role play
S1: Do you like Triceratops?
S2: No, I don't. I like Stegosaurus.
