1. Listen and answer. Use your name.

Ask a number of students (in smaller groups, you can ask all students) what their names are,
introduce yourself and welcome students to the class.

Teacher: Hello, whats your name? Student: My name is ____________.

Teacher: Im ______________. Welcome to the class! Student: Thank you.

2. The alphabet. Listen and repeat.

Say each letter and ask students to repeat. Alternatively, sing a song, to make it more fun. Once
you have made sure that students are already familiar with the English alphabet, you can
encourage them to work in pairs and spell/ pronounce their names to their partner. (This is
especially useful if students do not know each other.)

3. Listen to the alphabet again. Put the missing letters in their places.

Students listen to the alphabet again and when they hear a letter, which is missing, they write it
down in its place.

Introducing colors

If you choose: Ask a given number of students to each come to the board. Spell either one color
per student or several letters per student (if you wish to engage more students) and let them write
on the board as you spell the colors black, white, yellow, green, red, gray, blue (in whatever order).
Then move on to the next activity.

4. Match the colors with the words.

 Now that students can see the words on the board, they can easily match them to the colors in
this exercise. In addition, spell and pronounce the colors together.

green blue yellow black red gray white

5. Look at the pictures. Write the colors you see.

This could turn out to be a lot of fun (especially if your students are Pokmon Go fans). Four
pictures of Pokmon Go characters are shown below. Students must list all the colors they see
against each character. The idea here is to encourage students to identify as many colors as they
see.

6. Color the Pokmon Go characters as you wish. Write what colors you used under each
character.

This is an optional activity, best used with children, or in case you have enough time. Students use
only red, black, white, green, gray, yellow and blue to color the characters below. They can use 3
different colors (any of the above) for each character when they color. When done, they list the
colors theyve used for each character. You may then ask a number of students what colors theyve
used for character No 1, 2, 3 and 4. (Of course, using white here means that the area is not
colored.)

Introducing days of the week.

6. Find the words from the box in the puzzle below.

7. Put the days of the week in order.

The days of the week in the box below are not in the right order. Letting student remember
information from the previous exercise, ask them to put the days of the week in order.

Friday | Thursday | Tuesday | Saturday | Monday | Wednesday |

Sunday

3._____________________ 4._____________________

5._____________________ 6._____________________

If you chose: You could ask students to the board, spell the days of the week for them and let
them write. This will improve their spelling and will help them further memorize the days of the
week.

Time for Goodbyes!

8. Thank students for the class, and say goodbye.

Go round the class and, using the names of the students, as well as the day you are going to
see them again, say: (Alternatively, you can write it on the board, and help students read the lines
first, and then go round the class.)

Teacher: Thank you _______! See you on _________. Goodbye!

Student: Thank you! See you on _________. Bye!
