About this worksheet
A big rainbow with a color word on each stripe, in rainbow order, to color in.
What kids practice
Kindergartners learn to name the basic colors, read the color words, and find colors in the world around them. The rainbow shows six colors in the same order every time: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
Watch for
- Mixing up purple and blue, or orange and red.
- Guessing the color word from its first letter, like brown for blue.
- Coloring the rainbow stripes out of order.
It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full colors and the rainbow guide for kindergarten.
