Colors Word Search

Which colors are included?

The 35 color words a child learns first: red, blue, green, yellow, pink, purple, white, black, brown, gray, orange, gold and the rest. They can already say every one, so what they practice is the spelling: the silent e in purple, the ay in gray.

Color it in after you find it

The word list sits beside the grid. A trick that works in kindergarten: when a child finds a color, they color that word in on the list. An 8×8 grid with 6 words takes ten minutes; 15×15 with all 15 colors is half an hour of quiet work.

Spelling without copying

Finding a word in a grid means reading it letter by letter, which is exactly what does not happen when it is copied off the board. Generate a fresh sheet every time and download it as a PDF, free and without an account.
