Then the child returns to the beginning of his track. We call the colors again in the same order. After each color name, the child should take a step onto colored paper if its color matches what was said. The winner is the one who reached you along the entire path or went further than the rest.

Methods of teaching English to children

Learning English with children is necessary with the help of various kinds of visualizations. If a child writes 10 names of colors and says "Learn!". The probability that all the names of colors will be remembered is small! Children have a very well developed visual memory, and it is necessary to focus on it at primary school age.

For clarity, I presented a drawing of pencils. You can take 10 simple pencils and play with children.

Each new word must be fixed. Show a colored pencil and ask what color it is. You can come up with various exercises to fix the names of colors in English.

In our case, let's take drawn pencils with written colors. Children need to color them according to the name of the color. Children love to color, and they should enjoy this exercise. The main thing to remember is that learning English words with children must be combined with the game. Learning in the game is the most effective technique memorization of words.

And one more task to fix. To the name of the color in English, you need to choose the appropriate shell.

In fact, the more memory exercises you do, the more effective it will be. ask your child “What color is this?” when you walk on the street, eat. Most importantly, don't get carried away. Too much will not lead to anything good either.

We have learned the colors! Therefore, we took the first step in learning English! Read my next articles, ask your questions, write wishes. I'll be glad to help 🙂 See you soon!

From the first days of a child's life, a colorful world opens up for him, although for a more detailed distinction between colors and the assimilation of their names by a child, several years must pass. At right approach parents to this case, this task is quite doable, even if we are talking about the assimilation of 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. The failure of adults to see the results of their work on the assimilation of the names of colors by a child should not deprive the child of a thirst for knowledge of the colorful world. The 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 effort into it. It follows from this that by surrounding the child with information useful to him (in this case, bright pictures with the names of certain colors, or daily or at intervals repeating their names with the child in a playful way), you contribute to its involuntary assimilation.

Children see the difference in the color of objects. However, matching a color with its name can be difficult for a child. The help of adults will facilitate this task, because the names of colors are common vocabulary, regardless of age. Very important correct pronunciation color names for adults and control over the pronunciation of the child, because it is more difficult to relearn than to teach 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 offer to show pictures with color and its spelling.

Thus, visibility will simplify the process of mastering the name of a color by a child, namely the ratio of its spelling and pronunciation.

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

The table shows the primary colors. If their assimilation did not cause difficulties, you can additionally learn the names of the shades of the basic color palette.

You can also introduce the child to the division of colors into warm and cold in this way: the sun is yellow and when it shines, we become warm, which means yellow warm; and in winter it snows from dark gray and blue clouds and it’s cold for us, which means blue and gray colors are considered cold.

Color naming option

Show the child a picture or object of a certain color, pronouncing its name in English.
Ask the child to repeat the name of the color.
Ask the child to list the objects of this color in the room or outside the window (in Russian).
Repeat the name of the color again.
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).
Offer the child several colored cards in order to choose the color cards that you name in English.
Lay out some bright objects and ask the child to choose an object of the color you named.
Show your child a picture or object and ask what color it is.

What is the best way to study colors?

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

Visuals - better perceive information through the organs of vision.
Audials are those who perceive information better with the help of hearing organs.
Kinesthetics are people who learn maximum amount information with the help of other senses (smell, touch ...).
Discrets are those who assimilate information by constructing logical reasoning(through logical reasoning).

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

Learning colors in a playful way

The most popular game in learning English is Matching, which in Russian is called "Pick a Pair". Variants of this game great amount, in the process you can change the conditions and adjust the task. The easiest version of the Matching game is to lay out 2 sets of cards on the table. One set with words (eg red, green, black, pink…) and a second set of cards with circles different color. The child should cover the card with the word with the word desired color circle. There are many variations of the game, but its goal is to match the right pair.

For children who do not yet know how to read, you can pick up other games. If the child is mobile, then you can play the game "Jumping gallop". Terms of the game: the baby names his favorite color. The parent or teacher lists any colors, and when the favorite color is said, the child should jump as high as possible.

Exercises for memorizing color in English are varied, taking into account the direct connection with the skills of recognizing speech by ear (listening), building logical chains, and improving writing skills.

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

An alternative is online coloring in English, most often such exercises are in the sections of games in English.

Adapted texts in English

Hello kids, their parents, nannies and teachers!

There are also a lot of interesting things in Russian-language videos, but keep in mind that if the child is not more than 3 years old, it is better for him to show only the English-language versions (those above). If he's older, it's up to you to decide. And if his age is approaching 8 years or more, then a video with Russian comments will be just right!

And here they are:

It's time to add to this riot of emotions and voiced cards in the form of a table (under it you will find a file for printing), which will help you repeat the 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 are 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 sessions are required), you can do the opposite - show the baby an object and ask him to find a card with the appropriate color and pronounce it. Or you offer him two oral options, and he chooses.

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