| Title | More Ideas for Teaching Colors |
| Body | Here are some more ideas for practicing color names that may be new to you. These might be particularly useful for younger or hands-on learners. ---- I have my students get out magazines and cut objects, letters, etc. with the target colors. One way to organize it is to have everyone cut a specific number of objects of any of the target colors but then have small groups work on compiling specific color cards (usually 8 1/2 x 11 size card stock). The teams might have to present their card to the entire group and name a specific number of objects (5 out of 20 for example). Give each team a pre-printed label to incorporate into their card that is large enough to be read from across the room. Once they are assembled, presented and discussed, laminate them and get them up where they can be referenced. There is usually a lot of chatter during cutting time which tends to extend the vocabulary for higher students by bring in variants of the basic colors, i.e. light, dark, turquoise, lavender, etc. Writing extensions could be to have them name their favorite color and give a reason (I like blue because it is the color of my mom's eyes) or create a poem. I have used all of these ideas with K-12 beginner level students. K. Re: Creative ways to teach the names of colors? Teachers of English as a Second Language (Grades K-12).
