Use the small cards for sorting using the McDonald’s fries containers. This activity works well for your kinesthetic learner as they interact touching the cards and placing them into the containers. Color Words Mat. Print the color mat and the color words. Students match each word to the picture. This is how I put it together. Commands Flashcards. Use the commands flashcards for introducing YES and NO. Place a craft stick behind the small YES and No command small card. Hand in the puppets cards to the students. Ask questions showing the flashcard. Teacher: Is this red? Students: YES! As they show the Yes flashcard. The basic Show me! Command Flashcard is great for teaching the command as you ask the students to show you any color flashcard from the vocabulary worksheets. Teacher: Show me the blue flashcard. This is a set of vocabulary worksheets. Students color the splotches and trace the words. This will be the student's set of cards. Cut the items on the worksheets into cards following the lines. Make a book by finding colored items on magazines and gluing them on the corresponding page. If not, students can draw items. Students can play with a partner a memory game using their sets of cards. Ask questions: What color can you see? Students: orange, orange! Teacher: It's a match! A good listening activity that can be done with any set of cards is to place a sequence of cards on the table as they listen. Teacher: orange, green, pink, purple! Set 2 of worksheets -follow the line and color. When the worksheet is finished, cut the cans and the splotches and have the students put them together as a puzzle. Completing the worksheet!

They can use the vocabulary flashcards as a guide for coloring if they are not sure of any color word. Tips on how to use the worksheet. Your students can ask and answer questions about their favorite color using the worksheets. Teacher: What´s your favorite color? You can use the printables color splotch flashcards and have the stduents come and place their worksheet under the color flashcard that matches their favorite color. If printing is not available, trace the splotch from the worksheet and create a splotch in each color using colored construction paper leftover. Place the splotches on the wall and have the students come and place their worksheet and say: My favorite color is pink. Get even more out of the worksheet. Have the students cut the color splotch and make a crown. When all the crowns are ready, make groups of colors. Teacher: Pink! go to the door! Color Words Cutouts. There are the color words cutouts in color and in black and white. You can make puppets to use online or in class to name the colors. Show a color word puppet and have the students find any object in that color and show it to you. Use the color words along the small cards. Students can color the black and white version and using finger paint. I also used a recycle CD as a paint palette. When the students finish coloring they can cut each color words for more activities.The color words can be sorted using the fries containers. Print the set of color splotches and make puppets to play games or just review the colors. Another version is to add the colored splotches to the fries containers. Bingo is always a favorite and it can be done in class or online.Give the students their Bingo template. Have them color all five splotches. Show or hang the colors involved as in the Bingo teacher mat. At your signal start calling the colors. Have them cross out or mark the color they hear. Print two of the Teacher’s template. One to cut into cards and another to use as a mat but in a different hue. This is how I use the Bingo game. Puzzle! Cut all the pieces and have the students find all the puzzles. Color Picture and Words Match Cards. Have the students match the picture to the corresponding word. There are two sets of cards to match. One with the words in colors and another with the word in black. Colors DOMINO. Just print, cut and play. A great opportunity for the students to learn the color recognition. Printable Book. Students color the puzzle person and trace the sentence. Assemble the book and practice reading. Video of the book. Craft. The craft is always a fun way to show all what the students know and listen to new language as they move on working on the craft such as, glue, color, put, etc. There is a rainbow printable with a color assigned to each section. I made mine by adding colored glue to each section and then gluing little beads to complete the rainbow. Why crafts in the classroom? VIDEO Awards. There is an award for all the hard work to end the theme. There are colored bracelets to print onto white paper and there is a b/w version to print either on colored paper or for the students to color. If your students are very young, let them color the bracelet in their favorite color. Give praise as your put a tape to close the bracelet. Some teachers need some Flashcards in Spanish.

Easter Celebration with an egg theme. Here are the flashcards for Easter, an egg in each color. Use the flashcards for your students to copy the writing of each color words if they are ready. I have these strips of card for writing that I got at Dollar Tree years ago. I also have these writing board sign that can be used with white board makers. It's from the Dollar Tree as well. The cutouts from the unit are good here for color word recognition. Students can match each word to a flashcard. There is another set of Easter Eggs Flashcards in a black and white version. With black and white version, you can do many art activities. This idea es crayon resist. Students will trace the egg and draw anything on the egg. Then with watercolor, they will color over the egg and the things that the students drew will stay in white. Students can trace the border using beads, stickers or any other things that you have available. Use glitter and glue. I used to do that in school and love it. Students should get a chance to do it. The last one is getting three or more Q-tips and putting a rubber to hold them all so it won't move. Start tracing the egg with the Q-tip device. Print these Easter and Color eggs two games and the students can play by themselves. First, this is the Easter Eggs board game. And the color word match with Easter eggs just like the other one in this resource. Add worksheets to start completing the Easter Activities Kit, all included in this Color Unit Resource.
