Objective
I can say the colour of things using 'It's [colour].'

This frame lets beginners state the colour of any object using the fixed contraction 'It's' plus a colour adjective. It is the simplest way to practise colour vocabulary in a full sentence.
- It's red.
- It's blue.
- It's yellow.

The lesson flow
- 5′Warm-up — Teacher holds up coloured scarves or cards one by one and says the colour word. Children repeat and clap the word twice. Play a quick 'point to something red/blue' game around the room.
- 7′Presentation — Teacher shows flashcards one at a time, says 'It's red', 'It's blue', etc., and children echo the full sentence. Teacher then holds up two cards and asks children to choose, saying 'It's [colour]' each time.
- 8′Practice — Teacher shows an object (a ball, a book, a toy) and asks 'What colour?' Children answer in chorus 'It's [colour]'. Then pairs take turns holding up a card to a partner who says the sentence aloud.
- 7′Song — Teacher plays the song and does matching hand movements for each colour (wiggle fingers for yellow, hug for red, etc.). Children sing and copy actions, repeating the chorus loudly.
- 3′Wrap-up — Teacher holds up cards fast and children shout the colour. Teacher says goodbye line 'It's a rainbow day!' and children wave and repeat.
The song — “It's a Colour Day!”

Answers: Children hold up the crayon/card that matches the colour word said. No fixed answer for the last line.

Close the loop
The quiz isn’t a grade — it tells you what to bring back. If the class misses a word here — say “red” —your next LingoChorus lesson recycles it into the warm-up, the song and a quick check, so it sticks. That’s the Loop: plan → teach → assess → re-plan.
