About this worksheet
By the end of preschool many children can say every color and are starting to recognize a few color words in print. This page lets them try: a column of color words on one side, a column of pictures on the other, and a line drawn from each word to the picture that is that color. A strawberry is red, a whale is blue, a frog is green, a banana is yellow. Read each word aloud together the first time, and point to its first letter, then let the child do the lines.
If reading is too much, say the word and let the child find the picture: the matching still counts. The pictures are things with one color a child will agree on, so there is only one right line for each word. Use the color pages first, and come back to this one when the words start to look familiar.
