Art Exploration: Color Hunt (Búsqueda de Colores) (10 mins)

Teacher: ¡Busquemos colores! (Let's look for colors!) Let's find things around us that match our Spanish colors.

Continue this for several colors, encouraging the student to say the color name in Spanish.

Teacher: ¡Ahora, vamos a crear arte! (Now, let's create art!) You can draw or paint anything you like. When you choose a color, try to say its name in Spanish.

Teacher: ¿Qué color necesitas? (What color do you need?)

Student (prompted): Necesito [color name in Spanish]. (I need [color name].)

Teacher: ¿Te gusta el color [color name]? (Do you like the color [color name]?)
