Colors flash cards

Teaching notes

Ten basic colors, each shown as a colored heart on the front with the color word on the back: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black and white. Every front is a heart, so learners only have to recall the color. It's for A1 young learners.

Flip through the deck as a quick drill and let the class say each color together, then ask a learner to point to something in the room of that color. For a guessing game, one learner describes an object ("It's yellow and you can eat it") and the class guesses. In pairs, learners ask "What's your favorite color?" and answer. Switch it to Memory pairs for a second round, or print the matching worksheet on a color printer.
