Colours

Start with color words

The Colours page brings together quizzes and flashcards made by GoConqr users. It is a section of the Numbers, Time and Colours unit in English language. The resources offer primary pupils ways to practice recognizing and using English color words, while giving teachers material to use with pupils.

Start with a flashcard deck that lists color words. The rainbow flashcards include red, green, blue, pink, purple and other colors. Go through the cards and say each word. Then return to the words that need more practice.

Connect colors with familiar things

After practicing individual words, try a deck that puts colors alongside objects or animals. Rainbow Colors - Animals includes a yellow duckling, green snakes and a blue butterfly. The poem flashcards ask about the colors of things such as a pumpkin, a pear and the sky.

The flashcard deck called Colours offers another kind of activity. It asks pupils to think of things associated with a color and describe a color for someone else to guess. Teachers can use these prompts for speaking practice.

Try a quiz and make a map

Next, try the quiz Amelia, which asks what color things are. The quiz called Colours uses color words in sentences about things including an apple and a banana. The two quizzes give pupils a chance to practice the vocabulary they have seen in the flashcards.

To use a quiz and a map together, make a simple color-word map on paper after taking a quiz. Group the words with examples from the flashcards, then return to the quiz and practice again. Choose a quiz or deck to begin.
