| Title | New Ideas for Teaching Colors |
| Body | These ideas for lessons on color names were recently submitted to the TESLK-12 listserv, but they could be used when teaching any language. Look for more of these next week. ---- Find some childrens coloring books, and write the names of the colors in the spots to be colored. For example, if the picture shows a girl in a skirt and blouse playing in a meadow, you can write "blue" on the skirt and "yellow" on the blouse, "green" on the grass, "red" on the flowers, and "blue" on the sky, etc. If you don't have the time to go shopping for a coloring book, there are all kinds of coloring pages on websites. I particularly like http://www.kidsdomain.com . Try searching for "coloring." Another good website is http://www.enchantedlearning.com . Scroll down to the "coloring" section in the list on the right. Paxton, K. Re: Creative ways to teach the names of colors? Teachers of English as a Second Language (Grades K-12).

It's sort of TPR for color words. I pass out scarves (purchased for 10 cents each from our local thrift store) of the various colors mentioned in the song: black, white, blue, red, green, purple, brown, pink, orange, and yellow.
