Introduction
(5 minutes)- Write ‘eye color’ on the board and announce, “Tell a neighbor what color your your eyes are - have them check to be sure!”
- While students are talking, on the same line as ‘eye-color,’ write other eye colors like: Light brown, dark brown, blue, hazel, and green.
- In a roll call fashion, have your students call out their eye colors by rows, tables, or groups.
- As they do, mark an ‘x’ above each color you hear until you every student has answered. Add any colors to your row that you may have left out.
