Colours — English games for kids (online + printable)

The Colours topic gives you 12 concrete, drawable, act-out-able words — 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 — that's how the meetings happen without a single drill.

The words (12)

  • 🔴 red — красный
  • 🟠 orange — оранжевый
  • 🟡 yellow — жёлтый
  • 🟢 green — зелёный
  • 🔵 blue — синий
  • 🟣 purple — фиолетовый
  • 🩷 pink — розовый
  • 🟤 brown — коричневый
  • ⚫ black — чёрный
  • ⚪ white — белый
  • 🩶 gray — серый
  • 🌟 gold — золотой

Five ways to play them

  • Memory Match — picture↔word pairs from the Colours set; every flip is said aloud. Two-player mode for student vs teacher.
  • Bingo — you call the words, kids hunt their cards: listening practice with a winner's shout at the end.
  • Flip Cards — the deck on screen: picture first, the child names it, flip to check. Great for the first meeting with the words.
  • Word Scramble — the topic's shorter words, letter by letter: spelling dressed as a puzzle.
  • Balloon Words — save the word before the balloons fly away: the alphabet drill children ask to repeat.

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.
