How to learn colors in English using entertaining games? Learn colors in English. For children and parents. How to easily memorize English words. Remembering colors

The colors in English for children are an interesting topic that they love very much. You can start learning colors from almost any age. Optimal in my opinion will be the age of 4-7 years. But here everything is very individual, as children develop in different ways and begin to study English at different times. Most of my preschool students start learning English at age 5. should be built around games and other interests of children. As for the study of flowers, there are generally hundreds of options for educational games. Many of these games come to mind depending on the nature and interests of the child. Do not forget that teaching is a very creative profession. It is also important to remember that children of preschool age need to put just spoken language, learn to read, as older children do, at this age it is not necessary. However, it is worth emphasizing that visually they remember a lot of words and intuitively know how to read them. As a result, spoken English is taught to children even before they are taught to read, and successfully combined with the first skills in writing English letters and words.

You can get cards from here. Personally, in the process of teaching, I managed to create dozens of different games based on these simple cards. Stock up on imagination, pencils, felt-tip pens and forth. All the tasks that I prepared for you today can be used after the child remembers all the main 12 colors. These tasks are needed to consolidate the material covered. Some of them are needed so that children learn to recognize colors by name and spelling. Each sheet focuses on one color. These print pages will help children recognize all the primary colors: red, blue, green, yellow, orange, pink, purple, brown, black and white. Other tasks are also focused on the spelling of the word. Also there is a large window where you need to enter some object of a suitable color. For example, when yellow - draw the sun; when orange is orange and so on.

Interesting tasks on the topic Colors, which I suggest you use when working with children, are collected in one archive, all files are in pdf format, which is convenient when printing. A color printer is recommended.

Methods of teaching English to children

You need to learn English with children with the help of various kinds of visuals. If a child writes 10 names of flowers and say “Learn!”. The probability that all color names will be remembered is small! In children, visual memory is very well developed, and it must be emphasized in primary school age.

For clarity, I presented a pencil drawing. You can take 10 simple pencils and play with the children.

Each new word must be fixed. Show a colored pencil and ask what color it is. You can come up with various exercises for fixing the name of the flowers in English.

In our case, take drawn pencils with written flowers. Children need to color them according to the name of the color. Children love to decorate, and they should like this exercise. The main thing to remember is that learning English words with children needs to be combined with the game. Learning in the game is the most effective method of memorizing words.

And one more assignment task. To the name of the color in English, you need to choose the appropriate little box.

In fact, the more memory exercises you do, the more effective it will be. ask your child “What color is this?” when you walk outside, eat. The main thing is not to get carried away. Busting too will not lead to anything good.

The colors we learned! And therefore they took the first step in learning English! Read my next articles, ask your questions, write wishes. I will be glad to help 🙂 Until we meet again!

Hello kids, their parents, nannies and teachers!

I noticed for a long time that, coupled with numbers, children love to recognize words that mean colors in English. Apparently therefore, according to all known laws “The more interesting, the faster.”   they remember such words with lightning speed!

If you do not believe it, let's check now! And let's start with songs and videos, which, I will tell you, are simply abundance on the Internet. But I chose the coolest for you! And provided a dictionary with translation of those that are without a single Russian word))

So, to learn colors in English for children is our goal today! Go...


  balloon - balloon
  bye-bye - bye bye
  say “bye-bye” to all the beautiful balloons - say “bye-bye” to all the beautiful balls!


  Let "s learn the colors song together - Let's sing a song of flowers together
  Apple is red - red apple
  Leaves are green - green leaves
  Lemon is yellow - lemon yellow
  Sky is blue - sky blue
  Carrot is orange - carrot orange
  Berries are purple - purple berries
  Flowers are pink - pink flowers
  Night and day for black and white - Night and day for black and white
  Rainbows are always bright

There are a lot of interesting things in Russian-language videos too, but keep in mind that if a child is no more than 3 years old, he’d better only show English-language options (those above). If he is older, it is up to you. And if his age approaches 8 years or more - then the video with Russian comments will be just right!

And here they are:

It's time to add to this riot of emotions and voiced cards in the form of a table (under it you will find a file for printing) that will help you repeat colors and come up with different games with them.

The following game came to my mind: The kid picks any card from you at random. When he sees the color, you together or he must remember the word corresponding to the color, and then you go in search of an object of this color - at home, in the garden, on the street! When this stage is completed (several such exercises will be required), you can do the opposite - show the baby the item and ask him to find a card with the appropriate color and pronounce it. Or you offer him two oral options, and he chooses.

Games can be invented on the go - it's very easy and fun!

By the way, if you need some word with transcription, there is a service on the right in the sidebar that can provide it to you. Just enter a word and press "Transcribe"

Game 1. A delicious game of marmalades in English

This game is interesting in that you can print the material or buy your favorite marmalade of any shape and begin to study the colors and counts with the baby.

Game 2. Didactic game "Semitsvetik" to study color in English

Make seven colors. You name the color, and the baby must tear off the desired petal. One (last) color is not called. Who has the right color left, he won.

Everyone should name the color that he has left. If he is not faithful, ask the child to think and name what color it is. If you can’t, call yourself and ask him to repeat.


Game 3. Didactic game "Color Path" to study color in English

We will need colored paper (primary colors). Cut out one shape from each main color (circle, square, heart, etc.). We call immediately 5-7 colors in English. The child must remember them and lay in front of him (towards you) a path from these figures in the order in which you named them.

Then the child returns to the beginning of his path. Again call the colors in the same order. After each color name, the child must take a step on the colored paper, if its color matches what was said. The one who reached you along the entire track or went further than the others won.

Game 4. The didactic game "Plant flowers" for learning colors in English

We plant a flower bed from prepared colored plain stickers (primary colors) on the base (cardboard sheet or landscape). You name the color, and the child must “plant” exactly the flower of this color. Then each in turn should name the colors of their colors.

Then we take butterflies cut in advance (from colored plain stickers of primary colors). And we say: "Red butterfly on yellow flower." The child must stick a butterfly of the specified color on the flower of the specified color.

At the end we check everyone’s flower garden. Who made fewer mistakes, he won.

Or you can simplify the game to get started. Prepare a template where flower pots of different colors are pasted on a landscape sheet. The child will have to plant a flower corresponding to the pot.

Learning colors in English is usually not particularly difficult due to the visibility of the material being studied. In this article we will introduce you to what the primary colors are called in English with a translation into Russian. Not all learners of English are familiar with English transcription, so we will teach you to name colors in English with a pronunciation in Russian.

So, in the world there are a huge number of colors and shades. And not every one of them can be called in one word even in our native language, not to mention a foreign one. And in order not to have a shortage of words denoting colors in English, it is not necessary to study all possible color options. It will be enough to know a couple of dozen basic names that are most often used in speech.

Names of flowers in English

Here are ten basic colors that children are first introduced to when learning English.

Yellow   - yellow (Elow) [ˈjeləʊ]

Green   - green (green) [ɡriːn]

Blue   - blue, blue (blue) [bluː]

Brown   - brown (brown) [braʊn]

White   - white (white) [waɪt]

Red   - red (red) [red]

Orange   - Orange (Orange) [ˈɒrɪndʒ]

Pink   - pink (pink) [pɪŋk]

Gray   - gray (gray) [ɡreɪ]

Black   - black (black) [blæk]

The pronunciation of flowers in English for children is usually not very difficult, most of the colors are indicated by monosyllables and are easy to remember.

After you manage the first ten colors in English, you can add ten more colors to your dictionary that you can often find in different situations.

Beige   - beige (beige) [beɪʒ]

Golden   - golden, golden (gOulden) [ˈɡəʊldən]

Emerald   - emerald (Emerald) [ˈemərəld]

Coral   - coral (coral) [ˈkɒrəl]

Copper   - copper (kOpa) [ˈkɒpə]

Olive   - Olive (Olive) [ˈɒlɪv]

Purple   - purple, purple (ashes) [ˈpɜːpəl]

Silver   - silver, silver (silva) [ˈsɪlvə]

Lilac   - lilac (laylak) [ˈlaɪlək]

Khaki   - hacks (kaki) [ˈkɑːki]

Thus, now you know the primary colors in English with transcription in Russian. In total twenty words turned out with the help of which you can easily name the color of any object that you need.

In addition to the name of the color, sometimes you need to name the shade. The names of the shades can be indicated by adding certain adjectives to the main color. For example: bright, dark, light, etc. They will allow you to convey the color saturation of the described phenomenon or object. Here are the words that will help you more accurately indicate the desired color.

Light  - light (light) [laɪt]

Dark  - dark (duck) [dɑːk]

Bright  - bright (bright) [braɪt]

Dull  - dull (gave) [dʌl]

Pale  - pale (pale) [peɪl]

After you have learned the names of all colors in English, for better memorization and further training, you can try to name the objects you know in English, adding the name of the color to them. For example, a red sofa (red sofa), a white fridge (white fridge), light green walls (light green walls), dark blue socks (dark blue socks).

You also need to know how to correctly ask in English what color this or that subject is. What color design is used for this? (what colour). For example:

What is this?  - What is it? (wat zis?) [‘wɒt ɪz ðɪs]

This is a flower.  - This is a flower. (zis from e flAua) [‘ðɪs ɪz ə ˈflaʊə]

What color is it?  - What colour is he? (wat kala from it) [wɒt ‘kʌlʌ ɪz ɪt]

It is yellow.  - He is yellow. (um from eelou) [ɪt ɪz ˈjeləʊ]

Learn colors in English in a playful way

If you learn the names of the flowers in English with the children, then you can come up with a lot of fun game exercises. Starting from playing with pencils, ask what color the pencil you are holding and vice versa so that the child asks a question.

One of the variants of such a game is “Guess”. One participant hides a pencil behind his back, and the second tries to guess what color this pencil is. This game uses the following structures:

- Is it ...  (color name)? - He ... (color name)?

- Yes, it is. (No, it isn’t)  - Yes. (Not)

For example:

Behind the participant holds (a blue pencil)

Then he asks the question to the second player:

What color is the pencil?  - What color is the pencil? (wat kala from the pension) [wɒt ‘kʌlʌ ɪz ðə ˈpensl]

The second player begins to guess:

Is it red?  - He is red? (from it ed) [ɪz ɪt red]

First participant:

No, it isn’t.

Is it yellow?  - He is yellow? (from ith Yellow) [ɪz ɪt ˈjeləʊ]

No, it isn’t.- Not. (know, iz nt) [‘nəʊ ɪt‘ ɪznt]

Is it blue?- Is he blue? (from it blue) [ɪz ɪt bluː]

Yes, it is.- Yes. (es it out) [ˈjes it ‘iz]

It is also good to remember the colors in English for children will help your questions on a walk, when cleaning toys - "What color is it?". The more memory exercises you do, the faster and more lasting the effect.

So, as you can see, remembering the names of the flowers in English will not present any particular difficulty for either adults or children. Now you can go further in learning English. And most importantly - do not forget from time to time to return to the passed words and use them in combination with the newly learned.
