Objective-learning colour via mini games (sorting ball into respective coloured container). 

Today is Wednesday and it is COLOUR day. Today we are going to learn via mini games.

First I pointed to each container and asked XX what colour are they. XX only manage to recognise PINK as usual. We then proceed to learn each colour and also learn how to spell them. XX patiently repeat after me. 

Assorted colours container for the balls

I then explained the rules of the games. XX will choose a ball in the pool of balls, tell me what is the colour and then place the ball into the correct container. 

I am sure everyone can guess which ball XX chose first. Yes, it is PINK!!!! Happily XX said PINK and then place it into the container. XX then proceed to choose all the PINK. After that was a little unsure which one to choose. He will choose one colour, unsure what it is, i will let him know the answer, he then place the ball into the container and choose the same colour until he is finished with that colour. Quite smart i must say...

Balls to be sorted

After a while, it is all sorted out :)

Sorted :)

Close up-Sorted :)

XX wanted to play second round, so I changed the rules a little. I will choose the ball, XX has to say what colour and place them into the container. Now, he is a little better, can recognise PINK and some of the GREEN. He then place them into the container, although was a bit loss at times cause have to slowly look at the ball (cause each time is different colour) and then choose the container (not as easy as first time round). 

XX was quite happy playing this mini games (we played 3 rounds- for the 3rd round i added spelling too before passing the ball to XX) and I am glad he can learn better than just on paper like what i used to do.
