From our teachers' playbook

A rainbow of learning

What do kindergarteners learn about colors?

Most kindergarteners can already point to red or blue, so this year colors become words and tools. Kids learn to read and write the color words (red, blue, yellow, green), match each word to its color, and sort objects by color. In math, color is often the very first attribute kids use to sort and classify: "put all the red bears here." They also start noticing patterns like red, blue, red, blue. The click moment comes when a child reads the word "purple" on a page with no crayon clue nearby.

Our favorite ways to teach colors

Colors are everywhere, which makes them perfect practice. These moves turn color names into reading and sorting skills.

A song for every color

Pick a "color of the week" and play its song each morning. Kids wear that color on Friday and hunt for it around the room. A song plus a hunt makes the color word stick for good.

Why it works: a catchy, repeating tune gives the brain a hook to hang words on, so sung text is remembered better (Wallace, 1994).

Color word flash

Post the color word wall, then flash just the words with no color clue. Kids shout the color and point to something that matches. Two minutes a day turns color words into sight words.

Why it works: a big review of study methods ranked quick self-quizzing among the most powerful ways to remember (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Match the word to the color

Show a picture next to two color words and have kids choose the right one. Start with words that look different, like red and yellow, then mix in tricky pairs like blue and brown.

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Questions parents and teachers ask us

What colors should a kindergartener know?

Kindergarteners usually know the basic colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black and white. During the year they learn to read and write those color words too.

How do I teach color words to kindergarteners?

Pair each word with its color at first, then slowly remove the color clue. Songs, a color word wall and color hunts around the room all help. Reading color words in simple sentences is the final step.

Why are colors taught in kindergarten math?

Color is often the first attribute kids use to sort and classify objects. Sorting by color leads to sorting by shape and size, and to making patterns, which are early math skills.

My child mixes up blue and purple. Is that normal?

Very normal! Blue and purple, and sometimes orange and red, are common mix-ups for young kids. Lots of naming in everyday life helps, like "Grab your purple cup, please."
