COLOURS
(20 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Colours
Colours make our world bright and beautiful! Everything we see has a colour — the sky is blue, the grass is green, and the sun is yellow. Learning colours in English helps students describe things around them.
When we know colour words, we can talk about our clothes, objects, food, and even feelings. For example, we can say, “My bag is red,” or “The apple is green.” Colours also help us understand and follow directions — like “Draw a red circle” or “Pick the blue pen.”
There are many colours in English: red, blue, green, yellow, orange, purple, pink, black, white, brown, and grey. We can also make new colours by mixing two colours together — for example, blue and yellow make green, and red and blue make purple.
Colours are fun to learn because they are everywhere! Students can use them in art, games, and classroom activities to make learning more exciting.

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game is a fun way to practice colour vocabulary! The teacher says “Colours,” and students take turns saying colour names — “red,” “blue,” “yellow,” “green,” and so on. If someone repeats a colour or forgets to answer quickly, they say “Boom!” and sit down.
This game helps students:
Remember colour names easily.
Speak and think quickly in English.
Practice listening carefully to others.
Have fun while learning new words.
Teachers can also make the game more exciting by showing colour cards or objects (like pens, books, or clothes) and asking students to name the colour.

“Students enjoyed learning about colours today. They practiced using colour words in sentences like ‘The car is black’ and ‘My dress is pink.’ The BoomWords game helped them remember the colours and speak with confidence. Very cheerful lesson!”
Student’s Comment
“I love learning colours! Now I can say many colour names in English. My favourite colour is blue. The BoomWords game was fun because we said many colours fast. I liked showing my red pencil and yellow bag in class.”
