### Lesson Plan: Colouring Patterns of Basic Shapes
**Grade Level**: Primary 2
**Subject**: Cultural and Creative Arts
**Duration**: 60 minutes
**Topic**: Colouring Patterns of Basic Shapes
#### Objectives:
- **Cognitive**: Students will recognize and identify basic shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle).
- **Psychomotor**: Students will develop fine motor skills through coloring.
- **Affective**: Students will appreciate the aesthetic beauty of patterns and colors.
#### Materials Needed:
- Basic shapes worksheet
- Coloring pencils/crayons
- Examples of patterns (printed or digitally displayed)
- Whiteboard and markers
- A small mirror (for each student or group, if possible)
#### Lesson Outline:
**Introduction**: (10 minutes)
1. **Greeting and Warm-Up**: Greet the class warmly. Begin with a fun song or rhyme about shapes to capture their attention.
2. **Objective Introduction**: Briefly explain what they will be doing: "Today, we are going to learn about different shapes and color them in beautiful patterns!"
**Development**: (25 minutes)
1. **Shape Identification**: Show and discuss various basic shapes (circle, square, triangle, rectangle) using flashcards or drawing on the whiteboard. Ask students to name each shape.
2. **Pattern Exploration**:
- Show different patterns (stripes, polka dots, zigzag, etc.). Use real-life examples if available (e.g., clothing items, images).
- Discuss how patterns can be created using different colors and shapes.
3. **Demonstration**:
- Show a sample worksheet with shapes and demonstrate how to color them in patterns.
- Emphasize neatness and using different colors to make the patterns stand out.
**Guided Practice**: (15 minutes)
1. **Worksheet Distribution**: Hand out the basic shapes worksheets to each student.
2. **Coloring Activity**:
- Walk around the classroom as students begin to color, providing guidance and encouragement.
- Remind them to follow the patterns shown earlier. Encourage creativity as well.
3. **Checkpoint**: Halfway through, ask a few students to share their work with the class to inspire others.
**Closure**: (10 minutes)
1. **Show and Tell**: Allow students to show their colored patterns to the class. Encourage them to describe their work using the new vocabulary (e.g., "I used a zigzag pattern in the triangle").
2. **Reflection**: Ask students how they felt about the activity and what they enjoyed the most.
3. **Reinforcement**: Recap the lesson by discussing the names of the shapes and the patterns used.
#### Evaluation:
- **Observation**: Monitor students’ engagement and their ability to follow instructions during the activity.
- **Completion**: Check each student's worksheet for correctly identified shapes and neatly colored patterns.
#### Extension Activity:
- **Advanced Pattern Creation**: For students who finish early, offer them a blank sheet to create their own patterns within the basic shapes and color them.
#### Additional Note:
- **Cultural Element**: Briefly talk about how patterns are used in different cultures, for example in clothing or decorations, to highlight the cultural aspect of the lesson.
#### Homework:
- **Take-Home Worksheet**: Provide a worksheet with a mix of shapes and ask students to create and color their own patterns at home.
