It's time to add to this riot of emotions voiced cards in the form of a table (under it you will find a printable file), which will help you repeat colors and come up with different games with them.

The following game came to my mind: The kid chooses any card from your hands at random. When he sees a color, you together or he himself must remember the word corresponding to the color, and then you go in search of an object of that color - at home, in the garden, on the street! When this stage is completed (several such lessons will be required), you can do the opposite - show the baby an object and ask him to find a card with the corresponding color and pronounce it. Or you offer him two verbal options, and he chooses.

You can make up games on the go - it's very easy and fun!

Indeed, in everyday conversations we often use their names when we describe something: nature, animals, cars, furniture, etc. Knowing colors in English helps to convey information about the subject to the interlocutor in the most accurate and understandable way.

Clearly and clearly pronounce each phrase voiced by the announcer so that you train your pronunciation to a decent level: /wp-content/uploads/2014/07/RUEN014.mp3 Without a less tolerable pronunciation, native speakers will not be able to understand you, and all your attempts, It will be futile to describe anything, even if you learn all the material in today’s audio lesson.

Colors in English

From the first days of a child’s life, a colorful world opens up for him, although several years must pass before a child can distinguish colors in more detail and learn their names. With the right approach from parents to this matter, this task is quite doable, even if we are talking about learning colors in a foreign language.

Most children from 2-3 years of age distinguish colors and know their names, but sometimes this ability can come to a later age - by 4-5 years. Failure to see the results of adults’ work on a child’s learning the names of colors should not deprive the child of the thirst for knowledge of the colorful world. An explanation for this can be found in the effect imprinting- the ability to assimilate a large amount of information in the early stages of development without putting any effort into it. It follows that by surrounding the child with useful information (in this case, bright pictures with the names of certain colors, or repeating their names with the child daily or at intervals in a playful way), you contribute to its involuntary assimilation.

Children see differences in the colors of objects. However, matching a color with its name can be difficult for a child. The help of adults will make this task easier, because the names of flowers are common vocabulary, regardless of age. It is very important for adults to correctly pronounce the name of a color and control over a child’s pronunciation, because relearning is more difficult than teaching correctly.

The word "color" in English is " color" ([ˈkʌlə] - [ˈkale] (British English)) and " color"(American version).

• Black - - [black] - black;
• Blue - - [blue:] - blue;
• Brown - - [brown] - brown;
• Green - - [gri:n] - green;
• Orange - [ɔrɪndʒ] - [orange] - orange;
• Pink - - [pink] - pink;
• Purple - - [ash] - purple;
• Red - - [red] - red;
• White - - [white] - white;
• Yellow - - [elou] - yellow.
  

  [:] – long sound

  Russian transcription conveys the approximate pronunciation of the word!

Visual support (visual material - pictures, drawings, posters) will help you quickly learn the names of colors. Modern techniques suggest showing pictures with color and its writing.

Thus, visibility will simplify the process of a child learning the name of a color, namely the relationship between its spelling and pronunciation.

For example, you can use the following set of cards when working:

The table shows the main colors. If mastering them does not cause any difficulties, you can additionally learn the names of the shades of the basic color palette.

You can also introduce your child to the division of colors into warm and cold in this way: the sun is yellow and when it shines, we feel warm, which means yellow is a warm color; and in winter it snows from dark gray and blue clouds and we are cold, which means blue and gray colors are cold.

Option to work on color names

1. Show your child a picture or object of a certain color, saying its name in English.
2. Ask your child to repeat the name of the color.
3. Ask your child to list objects of this color in the room or outside the window (in Russian).
4. Repeat the name of the color again.
5. In the same way, work on the names of 2-3 colors (you can take more colors if you are sure that the child will learn their names).
6. Offer your child several colored cards with the goal of choosing a card of the color that you name in English.
7. Lay out several brightly colored objects and ask your child to choose an object of the color you named.
8. Show your child a picture or object and ask what color it is.

What's the best way to study colors?

There is no clear answer to this question, since all people can be divided into the following types:

1. Visual people - better perceive information through the organs of vision.
2. Auditory learners are those who perceive information better through their hearing organs.
3. Kinesthetics are people who absorb the maximum amount of information using other senses (smell, touch...).
4. Discrete people are those who assimilate information by constructing logical arguments (through logical comprehension).

That is why the forms of learning colors are different for each child! If you are dealing with a group of students, then you should combine and alternate different types and forms of work.

Learning colors through play

The most popular game for learning English is "Matching", which in Russian is called "Pick a Pair". There are a huge number of options for this game; you can change the conditions and adjust the task during the process. The simplest version of the Matching game is to lay out 2 sets of cards on the table. One set with words (for example, red, green, black, pink...), and the second set of cards with circles of different colors. The child must cover the card with the word with the card with the desired color in a circle. There are many variations of the game, but the goal is to choose the right pair.

For children who do not yet know how to read, you can choose other games. If the child is active, then you can play a game "Jumping gallop". Game conditions: the child names his favorite color. The parent or teacher lists any colors, and when the favorite color is said, the child must jump as high as possible.

Online games are very popular and will help make the learning process brighter and more varied. A collection of such games can be found on the website: http://english4kids.russianblogger.ru/category/english_beginner/english_colors.

Educational videos

Children love cartoons and all kinds of colorful videos. The use of such videos makes learning an enjoyable and useful experience for the child. There is nothing better than learning with your favorite characters:

Exercises for learning colors

Recently, this kind of material has been in great demand among teachers and parents, since English is one of the most widely spoken languages ​​throughout the world. Exercises for memorizing colors in English are varied, taking into account the direct connection with speech recognition skills by ear (listening), building logical chains, and improving writing skills.

Coloring pictures by a child is one of the most effective and fun ways to learn the names of colors in English.

Coloring option:

1. Name the color you want to paint over part of the image in English.

Another type of exercise for children is a recipe that is well known to many. Here you can write the name of the color in English and color the objects.
It is useful to consolidate what you have learned previously with written or oral exercises. For example, you can ask your child the following questions:

• What is it? (What is this?) - It is a cat! (This is a cat!) What color is the cat? (What color is the cat?) - It is white (She is white).
• What is it? (What is this?) - It is a ball! (It's a ball!) What color is the ball? (What color is the ball?) - It is red.

Many children enjoy solving riddles; such a hobby can easily be turned into a useful exercise. For example,

• This color warms the whole world and it is called...red!
• I have remembered forever: black in English - black.

It will be easier to remember colors in English if you solve a crossword puzzle.
