Los animales y colores

ACTIVIDAD 1: Read and Identify the colours Read the above passage in blue, use the image and what you know about animal vocabulary to identify the colours of the animals that are mentioned. Fill in the table below with the Spanish colours.* I have recorded the passage in blue below if you would like to listen and read at the same time/ check pronunciation. You can access the recording by clicking on the play button below where it says 'listen to instructions'. English Español orange naranja pink rosa yellow amarillo blue azul green verde black negro white blanco red rojo brown marrón purple morado grey gris ACTIVIDAD 2: Matching Activity Match the animal with its real colour/ colours la tortuga verde la araña negra la jirafa negra y amarilla el caballo marrón el flamenco rosa el delfin gris la cebra blanca y negra ACTIVIDAD 2: Video Watch the following video about 'los colores'. You can watch until 2: 30 mins or go further and watch the entire video as an extension activity.The video is entirely in Spanish so you will not understand everything. Just try to learn the colours and notice their pronunciation. You may also surprise yourself with how much you understand with the help of the pictures.Also take note of how we can change the way we write colors up in the left hand side of the corner. Can you guess why they change like that? This video will help you for the next activity so pay attention. ACTIVIDAD 3: colour table Colours are a describing word so they are called adjectives. I know it is the opposite to English but when we use colours in Spanish they go behind the word they are describing, not in front. It will seem very strange, but this is how it is in Spanish.English example= the red bookSpanish example= el libro rojo ( see how the colour goes behind the noun- the book!)As you watched in the video above, the way you write and say the colours will depend on whether the thing we are talking about is masculine, feminine or plural.English example= the red books (plural)Spanish example= los libros rojos ( masculine and plural)Now it's your turn to fill in the chart below. The first one is done for you and some of the other boxes have been filled out. Be careful because only some of the colours have a masculine and feminine form. Feel free to rewatch the video to help you! English masculine feminine maculine plural feminine plural white blanco blanca bancos blancas black negras yellow amarillo azul azul azules purple morados brown marrón green verdes grey gris red roja orange naranja naranja ACTIVIDAD 4: Reading and Multiple Choice Read the above speech bubbles to answer the following multiple choice questions: Who has a cat and a rabbit?
