🎨 Little Stars 4: Red, Blue, Yellow

A complete 45-minute teacher-led lesson that opens the Rainbow Colours unit of the Little Stars Compact 36 journey. It keeps to three colours only — red, blue and yellow — because at Pre-A1 restraint beats coverage. After the fixed Hello Routine with the puppet Pip, three scarves come out of the magic bag one by one and the whole class echoes each colour; a four-line Colour Song with scarf actions runs in a slow and a faster round; then Pip calls “Touch red!” and the children dash to find that colour somewhere in the room. A sorting game puts big soft blocks into the matching red, blue and yellow baskets, and a finger-paint screen lets every child stamp a dot and shout the colour. Recognition always comes before production: pointing and touching count as correct answers. Nothing is read and nothing is written. A closing teacher screen carries the minute-by-minute plan, the materials list, support and challenge notes, the 30-minute adaptation and the home connection.
