Colours
Activity 1
The video shows us eleven colours, which is your favourite?
Try saying them all in Spanish. You can try to roll the ‘R’ sound on rosa too - though don’t worry if you can’t, it’s quite difficult! Here’s all the colours from the video to help you practise:
Language in this activity
| Spanish | Pronunciation | English | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rojo | rohoh | Red | |
| Azul | ahthool | Blue | |
| Lila | leelah | Lilac | |
| Blanco | blankoh | White | |
| Rosa | rohsah | Pink | |
| Amarillo | ahmahreeyoh | Yellow | |
| Naranja | narahnhah | Orange | |
| Verde | behrdeh | Green | |
| Marrón | mar-rohn | Brown | |
| Negro | nehgroh | Black | |
| Gris | greess | Grey |
There’s quite a few to get your head round, so don’t worry if you can’t learn them all at once, just try a few at a time! Once you’re happy with them, print out the activity sheets and follow the instructions on there. If you don’t have a printer, just copy out and fill in the sheets on some paper.
If you have paint or crayons at home, you could even try mixing them yourself and write the colours underneath in Spanish when it’s dry (if you are using paint).
