The colours topic gives you 12 concrete, drawable, act-out-able words β ideal game material for young learners. Below: the full word list, five ways to play it (each opens a game with this topic already loaded), and the printables for offline lessons.
A word becomes the child's own after roughly seven meetings. One topic, several different games β that's how the meetings happen without a single drill.
The words (12)

Five ways to play them
- Memory Match β pictureβword pairs from the colours set; every flip is said aloud. Two-player mode for student vs teacher.
- Bingo β you call the words, kids hunt their cards: listening practice with a winner's shout at the end.
- Flip Cards β the deck on screen: picture first, the child names it, flip to check. Great for the first meeting with the words.
- Word Scramble β the shorter colours words letter by letter: spelling dressed as a puzzle.
- Balloon Words β save the word before the balloons fly away: the alphabet drill children ask to repeat.
Print & go
For offline lessons (or online students with a printer), the same colours words come as A4 printables: cut-out flashcards with three label options, a one-page poster for the wall, unique bingo sheets with a caller's list, and a matching worksheet with an upside-down answer key.
β Take this with you
One topic, 12 words, five games and four printables: enough material for two or three lessons plus the review that makes it stick. Pick six words to master per lesson β the rest will follow.
