Lesson Plan
Grade: Date: 17/01/2026
Subject: Spanish
Lesson Topic: Colours
Learning Objective/s:
  • Recognise and name at least ten basic colour terms in Spanish.
  • Apply correct gender and number agreement when using colour adjectives with nouns.
  • Use colour vocabulary to describe objects, clothing, and personal preferences in spoken and written Spanish.
  • Conduct a simple interview asking “¿Cuál es tu color favorito?” and report the findings.
Materials Needed:
  • Projector or interactive whiteboard
  • Printed colour‑vocabulary handout
  • Worksheet with matching and fill‑in activities
  • Colour flashcards
  • Audio recording of sample dialogues
  • Whiteboard markers and student notebooks
 Introduction:
Begin with a quick visual poll: display a series of coloured slides and ask students to shout the Spanish name they know. Recall that colour words must match the gender and number of the noun they modify. Today they will demonstrate they can correctly name colours, use agreement, and ask/answer a favourite‑colour interview.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑now (5') – Students write as many Spanish colour words as they can on a sticky note; teacher collects for a quick check.
  2. Mini‑lecture & board modelling (10') – Present the colour list, highlight masculine/feminine forms and agreement rules with examples.
  3. Guided practice – Matching exercise (8') – Students complete the table pairing English and Spanish colours; teacher circulates.
  4. Fill‑in the blanks (10') – Whole‑class correction, focusing on gender/number agreement.
  5. Pair work – Dialogue creation (12') – Pairs write a short dialogue using at least five colour adjectives; share with class.
  6. Survey activity (10') – Students interview three peers using “¿Cuál es tu color favorito?” record answers, then summarise results on the board.
  7. Quick formative check (5') – Exit ticket: write one sentence describing an object in the classroom using a colour adjective with correct agreement.
Conclusion:
Review the key rule that colour adjectives must agree with the noun’s gender and number, and highlight a few strong student examples from the dialogues. Collect the exit tickets to gauge individual understanding. For homework, assign a worksheet where students label a colour wheel in Spanish and write five sentences describing items at home.
