About this word search
Ten basic colors make a good first word search because a child already knows every one of them by sight. The trick is linking the color in their head to the letters on the page. Before starting, find something in the room for each word, a red cup or a brown shoe, and say the name as you point.
Here the colors sit only in rows and columns, in normal reading order. Red is the shortest at three letters. Yellow, Orange and Purple take six each, so a finger moving slowly along the line helps keep track.
Once all ten are circled, play a quick game of I Spy using only the colors on the sheet.
