Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Creating noun phrases

Display the Presentation: Noun-adjective agreement, listing facial features and colour adjectives, and hand out the whiteboards and pens.

Arrange the children in pairs and invite them to use the words shown on the slide to match each feature with the corresponding colour adjective, ensuring they agree in form.

The children can copy and complete the table on their whiteboards or simply list the resulting noun phrases: un bigote marrón - a brown moustache, una nariz roja - a red nose, ojos amarillos - yellow eyes, orejas verdes - green ears.
