Size and Colour Adjectives

• Size words: big, small, tiny, huge, long, short.
• Colour words: red, blue, green, yellow, …
• Order: opinion/size before colour — a small red bag.
• Paint and describe objects from reader illustrations.

Level 1 — Core idea

Verbal: Say size then colour: a large green parrot.

Symbolic: a + size + colour + noun.

Visual: Sort flashcards: size pile vs colour pile → combine.

Level 2 — Going deeper

Number can come first: two small red apples. Do not say 'a red big bag' — sounds wrong in English.

• Voice or text reflection with AI Mentor: explain the concept to a younger student or family member.

• "Explain this concept to a Class 6 student using one real example from an Indian home, school, market, or festival."
• "What is one common mistake students make here, and how would you catch yourself making it?"
• Stretch: "How does this connect to coding, robotics, money, health, environment, or a future career?"
