Description
The Colour Worksheets contain simple reading, writing and speaking activities for beginner-level ESL students.
These worksheets match up with the Colours Set 3 Flashcards with its basic list of red, yellow, blue and mixes thereof, plus more advanced vocabulary to enrich high-beginner classes. The basic and more advanced groups of words appear on separate worksheet pages so you can opt out of one or the other depending on your teaching goals. Or you can use both in mixed-level classes.
NOTE: Each of the colour worksheet is available in two versions: one with the American spellings of “color” and “gray”, and one version with the British English “colour” and “grey”. Other than spelling, the two versions are the same.
Hope you have fun!!
