The three big ideas

  • Colour words — red, blue, green, yellow. They let us see a thing at once.
  • Naming words (nouns) — they name a thing, a person or a place: ball, mango, Riya, garden.
  • Together — a colour word and a naming word make a small picture: a green leaf, a yellow bus.

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.

  • Describing words tell us what kind: a big ball, a soft cloud, a shiny shoe.
  • They can tell colour too — a red kite, a golden sun.
  • Why we use them — they make a plain thing come alive: not just “a flower”, but “a bright pink flower”.
  • Rhyming words end with the same sound: cat — hat, blue — shoe, star — car.
  • Poems often rhyme — the matching sounds make the poem fun to say and easy to remember.
  • Find your own — for sun try fun or run; for night try light or bright.
Tip: rhyming words sound the same at the end, even if they look a little different — like blue and shoe.

Where you'll meet it

Colour words, all around you

Talking about your day

Instead of “I saw a bird”, you can say “I saw a tiny brown bird”. Colour and describing words make your talking come alive.

Drawing and writing

When you draw, name the colours you use. Writing “a yellow sun and green hills” next to your picture is your first little poem.

Singing rhymes

Most songs and rhymes you know use rhyming words. Now you can hear which words match — and even make new ones up.

Hi! Ask me about colour words, naming words, describing words, or which words rhyme. I will explain simply with my own examples.
