Children name colours and characters on Easter flashcards, sing along to Five Little Easter Eggs counting with fingers, then match bunnies to eggs by colour and play a freeze-dance game. The second lesson reviews the bunny family ('Mum Red, Dad Yellow...'), sings Five Little Bunnies while hopping and counting, colours and decorates an egg, and optionally makes a bunny mask, finishing with children lining up by colour saying 'I'm bunny number 1! I'm red!'

Why this lesson works
The lesson follows a clear progression: Count and match bunnies and eggs by colour, colour and decorate an Easter egg, make a bunny mask and describe it. Teachers can open the materials and start immediately, while students move from supported vocabulary practice to purposeful spoken English.
