Ordering words alphabetically - colours

What’s included? x1 sheet, landscape orientation, pdf format.

Who’s it for? This resource has been designed for learners in the Early Years, pupils in Year 1 and 2 who are learning how to order words alphabetically. This resource is also ideal for older learners needing to revisit/practise the concept of alphabetical order.

What’s it for? Using their alphabet knowledge learners cut out and order each colour word (balloon) included.

This activity is ideal for individuals to be getting on with independently and has been designed to promote autonomy - clear answers are included yet are to be folded out of sight for learners to then check themselves after having a try.

For learners needing more support this activity could completed with an adult.

How to use it? Each colour word is clearly included under each coloured balloon at the top of the sheet. These are to be cut out (following the dotted lines) and the balloons ordered alphabetically on the grid-row included.

For those learners needing additional support the colour words can be cross referenced with the alphabet included (at the top of the sheet) to help learners order these alphabetically. For more able learners/those needing a more of a challenge this supporting alphabet-reference can be folded back (out of sight) for learners to instead use their memory/recall their knowledge of the alphabet - to be used as appropriate depending on the needs of each learner.

Resource Details… Learners will each need a pencil to write their name and record the number date (top, right). They will also need access to a pair of scissors and a glue stick.

The x12 colour words included are: red, orange, yellow, green, turquoise, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, silver and gold.
