The Rainbow Bridge: Color Recognition and Speaking Practice

This resource is designed for very young EFL learners (Pre-A1/A1), featuring a playful narrative where a unicorn needs to cross a river. The worksheet focuses on combining creative expression with oral production by requiring students to color a rainbow and verbally identify the colors they use.

• Target Vocabulary: Unicorn, river, rainbow, colors (e.g., red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple).
• Activity:
  • Coloring: Students fill in the rainbow illustration.
  • Speaking: Students answer the prompt “What color is it?” by saying the names of the colors aloud.
• Learning Goal: To reinforce color vocabulary recall, practice accurate pronunciation, and develop fine motor skills through coloring.

Textbook Name	Unit Number & Title	Context / Notes
Oxford Discover 1 (1st & 2nd Ed.)	Unit 3: Where can we see colors?	Direct Theme Match. The Big Question in this unit explores colors in nature (specifically rainbows and animals). It teaches color vocabulary (red, yellow, green, purple, etc.) alongside nature words, making it a perfect curriculum fit for a “Rainbow Bridge” activity.
Kid’s Box 1 (Updated 2nd Ed.)	Unit 1: Hello!	Vocabulary Match. This unit explicitly introduces the “Rainbow” vocabulary item along with the full color spectrum. It often features a “Rainbow song” or chant that lists the colors in order, which supports the coloring activity in your worksheet.
Super Minds 1	Unit 1: At School / Colors	Concept Match. While the unit title is “At School,” the core grammar and vocabulary focus is on primary and secondary colors (mixing red and yellow to make orange, etc.). This scientific approach to colors complements the “coloring the rainbow” task.
Family and Friends Starter / 1	Unit 1: What color is it?	Grammar Match. Focuses on the question form “What color is it?” which appears almost verbatim on your worksheet (“What color is it? Say.”). It provides the sentence structure practice students need to answer the worksheet’s prompt verbally.
Let’s Go 1 (5th Edition)	Unit 2: Colors and Shapes	Activity Match. This unit connects colors to nature items (blue sky, green grass) and often uses simple nature scenes for practice. It is highly compatible with a “river and bridge” coloring scene.
Show and Tell 1	Unit 1: Colors	Methodology Match. As a sister course to Oxford Discover for younger learners, this book uses inquiry-based learning (“What colors do you see?”) that mirrors the “Say” prompt in your worksheet.
