About this design
Where the Lesson Plan style comes from, and what it signals.
Lesson Plan turns the routine you already run in an elementary classroom into lesson plan slides: a warm-up, the learning target, a new word, partner practice and an exit ticket. A progress track with four rounded bars sits at the top of each content slide, so your students can see which part of the lesson they are in and how much is left before recess.
Each phase keeps one color across the deck: marigold #ffb020 for the warm-up, blue #2e6bd9 for learning, green #16a06f for practice and red #e4483f for the exit ticket. Titles use Fredoka, a rounded display face. Body text uses Andika, which SIL International designed for beginning readers, with the single-story a and g that children learn to write.
The signature slide is the learning target: the 'I can' statement written on primary handwriting lines with a red baseline, above three success criteria as empty tick boxes. Other slides add a Frayer model, a visual timer with a red wedge for the minutes left, a voice level meter and a tear-off exit ticket. For a classroom presentation for kids, the prompt sets body text at 17px or larger so the back row can read it.
Use it for
- Daily math, reading and science lessons for kindergarten to grade 5
- Mini-lessons that run warm-up, teach, practice and exit ticket in one block
- Vocabulary lessons built on Frayer model cards
- Partner and small-group work that needs a visible timer and voice level
- Sub plans and student-teacher lessons where the class needs to see the routine
Skip it for
- Middle school, high school or university lectures with dense notes; Seminar or Syllabus suit older students
- Game-style review sessions with points and levels; Level Up or Quiz Night fit that format
- Hand-drawn coaching talks and workshop boards; Chalkboard or Whiteboard have that look
The presentation design prompt
This is the exact text that gets sent to your AI.
Create a presentation in the 'Lesson Plan' theme, a daily lesson deck an elementary teacher projects for the class. Background: white (#ffffff); soft panels in pale blue #f1f5fb; hairline borders #d6deea. Ink navy #1e2b4a for titles and key text, #3b4763 body, #6e7891 muted. Typography: 'Fredoka' (Google Fonts) 600 for titles, 64px on the title slide and 36px on content slides; 'Andika' (Google Fonts) 400/700 for everything else, 17 to 20px, for its early-reader single-story a and g. Nothing under 13px. Four phase colors run the whole deck and mean the same thing everywhere: Warm-up marigold #ffb020 (soft #fff1d2), Learn blue #2e6bd9 (soft #e4edfc), Practice green #16a06f (soft #ddf4ea), Exit ticket red #e4483f (soft #fce3e1). Text on marigold is navy; text on the other three is white. Signature: every content slide opens with a lesson progress track across the top, four 8px rounded bars labeled Warm-up, Learn, Practice, Exit ticket. Finished phases show their color at 35 percent with a small check, the current phase is full color with a bold label and the word 'now', later phases are gray #e6ebf2. Title slide: grade, subject and date in one line, the lesson title large in Fredoka, then a drawn number line or similar subject sketch; a pale blue right panel holds 'Today's plan', a visual schedule of four cards with 2px navy borders, each with a phase-colored tab showing the minutes. Warm-up: a 'Which one doesn't belong?' grid of four lettered figures, a small visual timer and a turn-and-talk sentence stem with blanks on a marigold soft panel. Learning target: the 'I can...' statement written large in Andika on primary handwriting lines (solid top line and dashed midline in #9db4de, red baseline #e4483f), then three success criteria as empty tick boxes on blue soft panels, each with a tiny sketch. Vocabulary: a Frayer model, the word in a white oval with a 3px navy border and a pronunciation line, surrounded by four pale blue quadrants: what it means, what to notice, examples, not examples. Activity: numbered steps in green circles only when the steps happen in order; a visual countdown timer (white 60-minute face, navy ticks, red #e4483f wedge for the minutes left) with the minutes in bold, and a five-bar voice level meter. Exit ticket: a ticket with a 2.5px navy border and a dashed tear-off name stub, two short questions with answer lines, plus a 4-to-1 self-check scale in the phase colors. Footer: teacher and room bottom-left, lesson name bottom-right, 13px #6e7891. Strictly avoid: clipart, cartoon mascots, emoji, rainbow backgrounds, Comic Sans, chalkboard or lined-notebook textures, drop shadows, gradients, all-caps labels, dense paragraphs, more than one idea per slide, text under 13px, decorative numbering on lists that are not steps. Use this theme for my slides. Ask me what the presentation is about first, then apply the theme to every slide.View this prompt and its data on GitHub
