Colors Unit Games
Bingo is always a favorite and it can
be done in class or online.Give
the students their Bingo template. Have them color all five splotches. Show or
hang the colors involved as in the Bingo teacher mat. At your signal start calling the colors. Have
them cross out or mark the color they hear. Print two of the Teacher’s
template. One to cut into cards and another to use as a mat but in a different
hue.
This is how I use the Bingo game.
Puzzle! Cut all the pieces and have the
students find all the puzzles. 
Color Picture and Words Match Cards
Have the students match the picture to
the corresponding word. There are two sets of cards to match. One with the
words in colors and another with the word in black.

Just print, cut and play. A great opportunity for the students to learn the color recognition.
Printable Book.

the sentence. Assemble the book and practice reading.
Colors Unit Rainbow Craft
The craft is always a fun way
to show all what the students know and listen to new language as they move on
working on the craft such as, glue, color, put, etc. There is a rainbow
printable with a color assigned to each section. I made mine by adding colored
glue to each section and then gluing little beads to complete the rainbow.
Why crafts in the classroom? VIDEO

There is an award for all the hard
work to end the theme. There are colored bracelets to print onto white paper
