Question How long to teach a topic?

I'm privately teaching english to kids and adults in Germany. For the kids I do a ten lesson course, so a one hour lesson per week. I usually try to pick a topic (colors, numbers, farm animals, etc.), teach the vocabulary, sing a song, play a game, do an activity, read a story, etc.

How long should I stay on one topic? One topic a week? Or do the same topic until I feel that the kids "get it"? I was doing four weeks with a different topic each week and then week 5 for review. But I also review the words from last week, each week with a game. Is that enough?

My coworker reviews a topic about 4 times before she moves to a new topic. I think that is really less. I feel it's better to introduce the kids to as much vocab as possible and build on it over time. What do you do? What do you think?
