Mandarin colour words: a ready-to-teach 30–40 minute lesson for KS1–KS2 (ages 5–11). Twelve colour words with pinyin. No Chinese knowledge is needed.
Inside this A4 PDF (11 pages): lesson plan with timings; teacher script; differentiation; word list and colour word cards; colour-the-balloons worksheet; optional picture and character cards for a memory game; licence and credits.
Printable pages are excerpted unchanged from our Colours & Numbers flashcards (colours only). This listing adds the plan, script and timings. The full pack, including number cards, is sold separately.
Print A4 at actual size / 100%, in colour if you can. Teacher pages print clearly in black and white.
Time to teach: 30–40 minutes. Extra materials: colouring pencils or crayons; scissors only if you cut the cards. The balloon page has no separate answer sheet: children colour each balloon to match the word under it.
Review: every Chinese character and pinyin token also appears in our Ren-passed Colours & Numbers pack. No new Chinese. English teacher pages had bot checks only. Number words are not included.
AI disclosure: teacher notes prepared with AI assistance. No AI images.
