Naming the Colors

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to test a student’s knowledge of the colors that make up a rainbow. It features a brightly colored rainbow at the top of the page, followed by the question, “Can you name the colors of [the] rainbow?” Below the question are seven blank lines where students are expected to write the names of the seven colors in the correct order. Each blank line corresponds to one of the colors displayed in the rainbow illustration above.

The worksheet is teaching students to recall and identify the seven colors of the spectrum that are traditionally associated with a rainbow. It reinforces color recognition and sequence memorization. The task also helps with spelling as students must correctly write the color words. This exercise can serve as an introduction to the concept of visible light spectrum in a science lesson or as a simple practice in color vocabulary for younger students.
