Time for revision (colours, numbers and shapes)

We've just came back to school after quite a long winter holiday. So, the first few lessons after a holiday are the best time to do some revision and get the students back on track. For this purpose I used some really nice ppt games. I downloaded mine from eslprintables.com. It is a lovely site rich in very useful handouts and other resources.
For my lesson with the first and the second grade students I used:

Colours - Little Mouse Song - Learning can be fun!

I have to say that this is something I especially liked when watching littelstorybug videos on YouTube. I immediately liked the idea and decided to try it out with the kids from first grade. They are only six years old, and guess what? - They loved it!
What you need to do before the class is to print or draw and colour six houses in six different colours or more. You also need a picture of a mouse.
During the lesson - You ask the students to close their eyes and you hide the mouse under one of the houses. Make sure the house is big enough so that the mouse can go under it. Then ask the students to open their eyes and sing the song for each house and each colour until you find out where the mouse is. Here's the song: Little mouse, little mouse, are you in the yellow house?
P.S. Don't be afraid to sing your heart out ;)
