She says the first word in the sequence, one.

felt tips / coloured pencils. She draws circles
and colours them with different colours. Red,
purple, green, blue, yellow, pink, orange,

of the colour. She walks around the class and
checks how children draw. When they have
finished, she invites them to listen to her and
repeat each word after her.

children:

correct answer. But after each child, teacher
repeats the name of the colour and asks
children to repeat after her in chorus.
