A happy little poem about colours. We only name the poem — every example here is our own — and use it to learn three reading helpers: colour words and naming words, describing words, and how words rhyme. Tap each idea to begin.
Play with it
Words can paint a picture, just like crayons. Tap each idea to see how.
Learn
Match them up. Add a colour to each naming word.
apple → a red apple; sky → a blue sky; grass → green grass. Now each one is easy to picture.
Where you'll meet it
Instead of “I saw a bird”, you can say “I saw a tiny brown bird”. Colour and describing words make your talking come alive.
When you draw, name the colours you use. Writing “a yellow sun and green hills” next to your picture is your first little poem.
Most songs and rhymes you know use rhyming words. Now you can hear which words match — and even make new ones up.
Check yourself
Eight quick questions that check the skill — spotting colour words, naming words, describing words and rhyme — not just remembering the poem.
Skill practice with our own original examples. The poem “Colours” (NCERT Santoor, Class 3) is referenced by name only, never reproduced.
