This French video introduces teachers to vocabulary for colours while focusing on developing pupils’ phonics skills. It models activities that allow children to hear, repeat, and respond to new words multiple times, helping them notice specific sounds, silent letters, and spelling patterns before seeing the written form.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s French scheme – vocabulary. It includes ideas for interactive games such as “Splat” and competitive team challenges. It also encourages using questioning to prompt responses, spotting cognates for extended colours, and weaving colour vocabulary into other curriculum areas for natural, ongoing practice.
