Run and touch
Once the children can recognize these English words when they are spoken and know their meaning, this is a simple game to let them practise the vocabulary and their listening skills, but needs to be set up with safety in mind or with only a few of the students taking part at a time.

Teacher says a colour and students run / walk to something in the classroom that is this colour and point to it. They can be encouraged to say the colour and the name of the object (in English, of course).

Colours song
Young children love singing and chanting in the classroom. The repetition helps memory and it taps into their ‘musical intelligence’.
