Coloring Orange Pictures Worksheet

Orange is a bright, cheerful color word for young children to learn, and it shows up in pumpkins, basketballs, fall leaves and juicy oranges. This coloring orange pictures worksheet gives kindergarten students three short, hands-on ways to practice the color, from writing the word to finding orange things in a set of pictures.

The page has three short tasks. To start, children trace the word orange and then write it on their own, using large handwriting lines sized for kindergarten. Next, they use an orange crayon to color three simple pictures: an orange, a maple leaf and a traffic cone. Last, they look at four bright pictures and circle the two that are orange, a pumpkin and a basketball, next to a green pear and a blue mug. It works well for morning work, a color center, homework or a quick check. Page two is a complete answer key.

What’s Included

• 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
• Trace and write the color word orange
• 3 pictures to color and 4 pictures to sort by color
• Answer key

Here are three reasons this page helps. First, children read, trace and write the color word, so the word and the color are learned together. Second, coloring real objects orange ties the color to things children see every day. Third, circling the orange pictures among other colors asks children to compare and choose, which builds the sorting skills used in early math.

At home or in class, go on an orange hunt: look for an orange crayon, an orange leaf or an orange ball, and name each one. Sort a pile of blocks or buttons into orange and not orange. Play I Spy with colors only. Keep a copy of this coloring orange pictures worksheet for a class color book, and this kindergarten colors worksheet page fits right in, one color at a time.
