This is booklet 2 of a set of 5 booklets. The colours introduced are red, blue, yellow, purple, green, orange, black, white, brown, grey and pink.  There is a reference page at the beginning where the colour word is written under the colour. This enables the student to complete worksheets independently by looking at the reference sheet when colours are unknown. By doing this, students are not only increasing opportunities for the retention of new vocabulary but they are also improving reading and writing skills. The games provide opportunities for speaking and listening and interaction with peers.  Worksheets and games are suitable for use from age 8 to adult. The booklets could be suitable for use with a group of refugees who have a wide age range and who are beginning to learn English. The word matching activities could be particularly useful for students who have had little education in their first language and perhaps might not be literate in their first language. Some games could be used with children younger than 8 years.   The games/activities include cut and stick, colouring to match the colour word, colour the object (vocabulary used is introduced in booklet 1 School Vocabulary) sentence completion, crossword, word search, dominoes - colour to colour, dominoes - colour to word, snap game colours only. The colour to word dominoes could also be used as a matching activity by cutting the dominoes in half.   These types of worksheets and games have been found to be very useful in mainstream schools with Initial Learners of English particularly new arrivals who are also isolated learners. They are also suitable for classes of beginners including EFL students. The students can be given opportunities to experience success in using a new language and consequently build confidence.
