| Title | Teaching Colors in Spanish |
| Body | This recent post to the FLTEACH listserv recommends several ways to introduce and practice color vocabulary in Spanish class. These activities would be appropriate for both younger and older learners. ---- I have a supply of soft "nerf" balls in all common colors and three sizes (big, little, very little) that I picked up over time and a big bucket. I throw them out to students who know what colors they are, and then collect them by asking "¿Quién tiene la pequeña pelota amarilla?", etc to allow the student in possession of the little yellow ball the opportunity to shoot a hoop and get it in the bucket. After about 15 minutes, most know their colors pretty well. I never do this more than once or twice even if the students beg. It is just unnecessary and is no longer learning after a while. Rather, I just start incorporating colors into other vocabulary.... ¿Es un cuaderno verde o un cuaderno rojo? ¿Es la pizarra blanca o negra? La bandera de los Estados Unidos, ¿es roja, blanca, y verde? ¿Dónde está la pantalla blanca? In addition, we have already read a little book, "Azul el sombrero, verde el sombrero" ("Blue Hat, Green Hat" -- Spanish version), by Sandra Boynton, as well as "Perritos," by the same author, and today I am going to read them P.D. Eastman's "Corre, perro, corre," which has lots of colors in it and which I have been quietly prepping them for. Widergren, P.R. Re: Great fun--Spanish colors.
