What’s included?
This download includes x2 (portrait orientation, pdf) A4 sheets, featuring one colour word search (page 1) and answers (page 2).

What’s it for?
Becoming familiar with these colour related words (both reading them on-sight and learning the correct spellings) will extend vocabulary - helping improve learners reading and writing, speaking and listening.

Who’s it for?
This word search has been carefully designed to encourage young readers in the early years and pupils in years one and two (as well as students needing additional learning support) with reading key words. Nouns are illustrated to make the meaning of these words clear to learners - which would also benefit pupils with EAL.

Resource layout
The word search letters are arranged in a x10 by x10 square grid, featuring easy to read ‘Sassoon Infant Std’ font.

The common colour words have been organised into four groups, clearly showing all hidden words below the word search. There are x16 words to find in total.

The directions of these hidden words are…

• horizontal (forwardsand backwards)
• vertical (up as well as down)
• diagonal (forwardsand backwards)

The hidden words to find are…

• red
• orange
• yellow
• cream
• green
• turquoise
• blue
• pink
• purple
• brown
• grey
• black
• white
• silver
• gold
• rainbow

Recommendations
We recommend that learners use a highlighter pen when finding the hidden words as highlighters enable all letters to remain visible once each word has been identified, some letters have been used more than once (for different words) so all letters need to remain visible. This word search may be printed and laminated to be reused.
