Lesson Plan for Primary 2 - Cultural and Creative Arts - Colouring Patterns Of Basic Shapes

### 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. **End of Lesson Plan**.
