Colors of the rainbow in order - why exactly like that? Why are the colors of the rainbow arranged in this order?

We never thought that we would ever return to this topic, namely, how many colors does the rainbow have?

It all started with the most famous memorization about the fact that “Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits.”

We then collected a whole collection different options This memory book is about a hunter, and for programmers, and Belarusian, and Ukrainian, and many others. There were so many of them that we even opened them in our “Encyclopedia”

And then it turned out that not all nations have 7 colors in their rainbow. Some have six, particularly in America, and there are those who have only 4. In general, the question is not at all simple, as it might seem at first glance

And as often happens on the vast expanses of the Internet, an article was found on this topic. It was written so interestingly that we could not resist and decided to re-publish it so that our readers could also familiarize themselves with it.

How many colors does a rainbow drink?

…when you see a rainbow, don’t separate yourself from it

when you see a beautiful sunset, become it

it's the mind that divides

in fact, stars dot the sky

are inside us, and we are in them

there is no separation

there is no border...

The phrase “every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits” has been known to everyone since childhood. This mnemonic device, the so-called acrophonic method of memorization, is designed to remember the sequence of colors of the rainbow. Here, each word of the phrase begins with the same letter as the name of the color: each = red, hunter = orange, etc. In the same way, those who were initially confused about the sequence of colors of the Russian flag realized that the abbreviation KGB (from bottom to top) was suitable to describe it and were no longer confused.

Such mnemonics are acquired by the brain at the level of so-called “conditioning” rather than just learning. Considering that people, like all other animals, are terrible conservatives, then any information that has been drilled into the head since childhood for many is very difficult to change or is even simply blocked from a critical approach. For example, Russian children know from school that there are seven colors in the rainbow. This is rote, familiar, and many are sincerely perplexed as to how it is that in some countries the number of colors of the rainbow can be completely different. But the seemingly undoubted statements “there are seven colors in the rainbow”, as well as “there are 24 hours in a day”, are just products of human imagination and have nothing to do with nature. One of those cases when an arbitrary fiction becomes “reality” for many.

Rainbows have always been seen differently in different periods history and in different peoples. It distinguished three primary colors, and four, and five, and as many as you like. Aristotle identified only three colors: red, green, violet. The Rainbow Serpent of the Australian Aborigines was six-colored. In the Congo, the rainbow is represented by six snakes - according to the number of colors. Some African tribes see only two colors in the rainbow - dark and light.

So where did the notorious seven colors in the rainbow come from? This is exactly the rare case when the source is known to us. Although the phenomenon of the rainbow was explained by refraction sun rays in raindrops back in 1267, Roger Bacon, but only Newton thought of analyzing light and, refracting a ray of light through a prism, first counted five colors: red, yellow, green, blue, violet (he called it purple). Then the scientist took a closer look and saw six colors. But the number six did not appeal to the believer Newton. Nothing other than a demonic obsession. And the scientist “spotted” another color. The number seven suited him: an ancient and mystical number - there are seven days of the week, and seven deadly sins. Newton thought of indigo as the seventh color. Thus Newton became the father of the seven-color rainbow. True, his very idea of the white spectrum, as a collection of people of color, was not liked by everyone at that time. Even the eminent German poet Goethe was indignant, calling Newton's statement a “monstrous assumption.” After all, it cannot be that the most transparent, purest white color turned out to be a mixture of “dirty” colored rays! But nevertheless, over time, I had to admit that the scientist was right.

The division of the spectrum into seven colors took root, and in English the next memory appeared - Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain (In - for blue indigo). And over time, they forgot about indigo and there were six colors. Thus, in the words of J. Baudrillard (albeit said on a completely different occasion), “the model became the primary reality, hyperreality, turning the whole world into Disneyland.”

Now our “magical Disneyland” is very diverse. Russians will argue until they are hoarse about the seven-color rainbow. American children are taught the six primary colors of the rainbow. English (German, French, Japanese) too. But it's even more complicated. In addition to the difference in the number of colors, there is another problem - the colors are not the same. The Japanese, like the British, believe that there are six colors in the rainbow. And they will be happy to name them for you: red, orange, yellow, blue, indigo and violet. Where did the green go? Nowhere, it's in Japanese just no. Japanese people rewriting Chinese characters, the green hieroglyph has been lost (it exists in Chinese). Now in Japan there is no green color, which leads to funny incidents. A Russian specialist working in Japan complained about how he once had to look for a long time for a blue (aoi) folder on his desk. Only the green one lay in plain sight. Which the Japanese see as blue. And not because they are color blind, but because in their language there is no such color as green. That is, it seems to be there, but it’s a shade of blue, like our scarlet – a shade of red. Now, under external influence, there is, of course, also green(midori) - but from their point of view this is a shade of blue (aoi). That is, not the main color. So they get blue cucumbers, blue folders and blue traffic lights.

The British will agree with the Japanese on the number of colors, but not on the composition. The English (and other Romance languages) do not have blue in their language. And since there is no word, then there is no color. They, of course, are also not colorblind, and they distinguish cyan from dark blue, but for them it is just “light blue” - that is, not the main one. So the Englishman would have been looking for the mentioned folder even longer.

Thus, the perception of colors depends only on a specific culture. And thinking in a particular culture depends heavily on language. The question of “colors of the rainbow” is not a matter of physics and biology. It should be dealt with by linguistics and, even more broadly, by philology, since the colors of the rainbow depend only on the language of communication, there is nothing a priori physical behind them. The spectrum of light is continuous, and its arbitrarily selected areas (“colors”) can be called whatever you like - with the words that exist in the language. In the rainbow Slavic peoples seven colors only because there is a separate name for blue (cf. the British) and green (cf. the Japanese).

But the problems of flowers don’t end there; life is even more confusing. IN Kazakh language, for example, the rainbow has seven colors, but the colors themselves do not match the Russian ones. The color that is translated into Russian as blue is in the Kazakh perception a mixture of blue and green, yellow is a mixture of yellow and green. That is, what is considered a mixture of colors among Russians is considered an independent color among Kazakhs. American orange is by no means our orange, but often rather red (in our understanding). By the way, in the case of hair color, on the contrary, red is red. It’s the same with old languages - L. Gumilyov wrote about the difficulties of identifying colors in Turkic texts with Russian ones, for example “sary” - it can be the color of gold, or the color of leaves, because occupies part of the “Russian yellow” range and part of the “Russian green”.

Colors also change over time. In the Kiev collection of 1073 it is written: “In the rainbow, the properties are red, and blue, and green, and crimson.” Then, as we see, in Rus' four colors were distinguished in the rainbow. But what are these colors? Now we would understand them as red, blue, green and red. But it wasn't always like this. For example, what we call white wine was called green wine in ancient times. Crimson could mean any dark color, and even black. And the word red was not a color at all, but originally meant beauty, and in this sense it was preserved in the combination “red maiden”.

How many colors are there really in a rainbow? This question makes virtually no sense. Wavelengths visible light(in the range of 400-700 nm) can be called whatever colors are convenient - they, the waves, are neither warm nor cold. In a real rainbow, of course, there is an infinite number of “colors” - a full spectrum, and you can select as many “colors” from this spectrum as you like (conventional colors, linguistic ones, those for which we can come up with words).

An even more correct answer would be: not at all, colors do not exist in nature at all - the illusion of color is created only by our imagination. R.A. Wilson liked to quote an old Zen koan on this subject: “Who is the Master who makes the grass green?” Buddhists have always understood this. The colors of the rainbow are created by the same Master. And he can create them in completely different ways. As someone noted: “steelworkers distinguish a lot of shades in the transition from yellow to red...”

The same Wilson also noted the following point: “Did you know that an orange is ‘really’ blue? It absorbs blue light that passes through its skin. But we see an orange as “orange” because there is no orange light in it. The orange light reflects off its skin and hits the retina of our eyes. The “essence” of the orange is blue, but we don’t see it; in our brains orange is orange, and we see it. Who is the Master who makes an orange orange?

Osho wrote about the same thing: “Each ray of light consists of seven colors of the rainbow. Your clothes are red for one strange reason. They are not red. Your clothes absorb six colors from the beam of light - all except red. Red is reflected back. The remaining six are absorbed. Because red is reflected, it gets into other people's eyes, so they see your clothes as red. It is a very contradictory situation: your clothes are not red, that is why they appear red.” Let us note that for Osho the rainbow is seven-colored, even though he already lived in “six-colored” America.

From the point of view modern biology In a rainbow, a person sees three colors, because a person perceives shades by three types of cells. Physiologically according to modern concepts healthy people must distinguish between three colors: red, green, blue (Red, Green, Blue - RGB). In addition to cells that respond only to brightness, some cones in the human eye respond selectively to wavelength. Biologists have identified three types of color-sensitive cells (cones) - that is, RGB. Three colors are enough for us enough to create any shade. The rest of the infinite number of different intermediate shades is completed by the brain, based on the ratios of irritability of these three types of cells. Is this the final answer? Not really, this is also just a convenient model (In “reality”, the eye’s sensitivity to blue is significantly lower than to green and red).

Thais, like us, are taught in school that there are seven colors in the rainbow. The veneration of the number seven arose in ancient times due to mankind’s knowledge of the seven known to him at that time. celestial bodies(moon, sun and five planets). This is where the seven-day week appeared in Babylon. Each day corresponded to its planet. This system was adopted by the Chinese and spread further. Over time, the number seven became almost sacred; each day of the week had its own god. The Christian “six-day” with an additional day off on Sunday (in Russian, originally called “week” - from “not to do”) spread throughout the world. So it is unlikely that Newton could have “discovered” another number of colors in the rainbow.

But in everyday life The number of perceived colors among Thais depends on where they live. The city will soon have an official number of seven. But in the provinces it’s different. Moreover, the colors of the rainbow can vary even in neighboring villages. For example, in some settlements in the northeast there are two orange colors, “som” and “sed.” The second word means something like “more orange.” As is the case, say, with the Chukchi, who have more in their language different names For white, since they have long distinguished shades white snow, the Thais’ selection of a separate color is not accidental. In those places it grows on trees beautiful flower“dokjang”, the color of which is different from the usual color of orange “som”. You most likely will not find this word in the dictionary. But you can hear about this flower in Thai songs in the Isan dialect:

“I really miss Isan, I miss the flowers of the dojang Tung Luilai.”

“Forest Flame”, “Forest Fire” - this is the name that the gray-colored dokjang flower is usually known by. What color would we use in Russian when describing this flower?

What is a rainbow?

Rainbow is an amazing and incredibly beautiful meteorological and optical natural phenomenon. It can be observed mainly after rain, when the sun comes out. This is the reason that we can see this wonderful phenomenon in the sky, and also distinguish the colors of the rainbow, arranged in order.

Causes

A rainbow appears because light emanating from the sun or another source is refracted in droplets of water slowly falling to the ground. With their help, white light “breaks”, forming the colors of the rainbow. They are arranged in order because of different degrees of light deflection (for example, red light is deflected by fewer degrees than violet light). Moreover, a rainbow can also appear due to moonlight, but it is very difficult for our eyes to distinguish it in low light. When the circle formed by the “sky bridge” is formed, the center is always on a straight line passing through the Sun or Moon. For those who observe this phenomenon from the ground, this “bridge” appears as an arc. But the higher the vantage point, the more complete the rainbow appears. If you observe it from a mountain or from the air, it can appear before your eyes in the form of a whole circle.

Order of the colors of the rainbow

Many people know a phrase that allows them to remember the order in which the colors of the rainbow are located. For those who don’t know or don’t remember, let’s remember how this line sounds: “Every Hunter Wants to Know Where the Pheasant Sits” (by the way, now there are many analogues of this famous monostich, more modern, and sometimes very funny). The colors of the rainbow are, in order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

These colors do not change their location, imprinting in memory the eternal appearance of such an incredibly beautiful phenomenon. The rainbow we often see is primary. During its formation, white light undergoes only one internal reflection. In this case, the red light is outside, as we are used to seeing. However, a secondary rainbow can also form. This is a fairly rare phenomenon in which white light is reflected twice in the droplets. In this case, the colors of the rainbow are already arranged in the opposite direction (from purple to red). At the same time, the part of the sky that is located between these two arcs becomes darker. In places with very clean air, you can even observe a “triple” rainbow.

Unusual Rainbows

In addition to the familiar arc-shaped rainbow, you can also observe its other forms. For example, one can observe lunar rainbows(but it is difficult for the human eye to catch them; for this, the glow from the moon must be very bright), foggy, ring-shaped (these phenomena have already been mentioned above) and even inverted. In addition, rainbows can be seen in winter. At this time of year it sometimes occurs due to severe frosts. But some of these phenomena have nothing to do with “sky bridges”. Very often, halo phenomena (this is the name of a luminous ring that forms around a certain object) are mistaken for a rainbow.

Your baby is growing, actively exploring the world and surprising him with new achievements every day. You have read and heard a lot about the early development of children and pay close attention to this topic. All people are born with approximately the same abilities, says the Japanese scientist Shinichi Suzuki; it is their upbringing that makes them different.

Any child is capable of growing up smart and capable if he is given what is required for development and, most importantly, in certain time. Dance, violin and English lessons in early childhood not at all in order to raise a child to be a brilliant violinist, linguist or dancer, but in order to give impetus to the development of his limitless potential possibilities. The baby’s brain is actually a blank sheet of paper, and what is initially written on this sheet depends on how widely the child’s potential will unfold. Below we will talk about how to start small - remember the colors of the rainbow in order with your child.

When to start training?

To determine the answer to this question, let's turn to physiology. The human brain has about one and a half billion cells, but in babies more than half of them are not used. Most connections between brain cells are built during the first three years of a child's life. Thinking, creativity, feelings develop after three years, but the basis for this must be created from birth.

To briefly summarize, if you do not lay the foundation for future abilities in time, then there will be nothing to develop. Thus, starting from the age of three, it is advisable to teach a child simple and useful basic knowledge about the world around us.

So how can you help your child remember the colors of the rainbow?

To move on to memorizing the rainbow spectrum, the colors, as such, must already be mastered by the child. The colors of the rainbow in the spectrum have the following order: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. One of the most common ways to memorize a series of words or numbers is to link them in meaning into a text, sing them or rhyme them. There are a lot of rhymes and rhymes on the theme of the rainbow spectrum. About the hunter who wants to know, and about the bell ringer who knocked down the lantern - this is for everyone known methods remembering the location of the colors of the rainbow. You can choose with your child what you like and start learning. We offer our version of the rhyming sequence:

What a miracle, look
There's a rainbow ahead!
The color red reminds
Tie on the chest.
The color is orange like the leaves
In the park behind the pond,
Yellow, he's like the sun
And it burns with fire
At the center of the rainbow is green,
At the very core,
Like a foolish child
In mom's arms.
The blue sky will change
Blue clouds are rolling in,
The night will come, putting on
Purple outfit.

Practice remembering colors using photography principles

Take markers (or pencils) and create a rainbow spectrum from them. Repeat with your child a verse or any other rhyme about the colors of the rainbow that you like best, pointing to each of the colors in the sequence. Looking at the markers, the child visually remembers the sequence, supported by an associative audio sequence.

Invite your child to remember the order of the markers laid out in front of him. When the child is ready, let him close his eyes while you remove one of the flowers. The child is given the task of remembering which color is missing. At the same time, he begins to use his memory, replaying the lesson he just repeated with you and determines (or not) the missing color.

To consolidate the results, you can complicate the task: remove one of the colors and mix the markers. We suggest collecting a rainbow on the table and determining which color is missing. But don’t demand everything from your child at once. Don't forget that the main thing is that the learning process brings pleasure to both of you.

Practice memorization using the principle of repetition cycles

Children absorb information very quickly, but forget just as quickly. You can extend the life of your memory by periodically repeating information, and at increasing intervals of time. More repetition cycles, better retention in memory. Remember the song from childhood “Okay, okay. Where were you? At grandma's!" It’s the same with the rainbow - return to this topic again and again with your child in various playful forms. Take, for example, watercolors or finger paints, remember the sequence together and draw a rainbow on a sheet of paper. Place the drawing in a frame on the wall and this visual image will automatically work as a repetition of the previously learned “lesson” about the rainbow.

On physical level It works like this: after cycles of repetition and practice, the brain identifies information as important and moves it from cell c to long-term storage cell.

Yawn, chew, dance and remember

Yes, yes. Yawning activates the supply of oxygen to brain cells. Chewing short-term improves perceptual abilities. This effect is also due to the fact that chewing produces insulin, which enhances the absorption of glucose, which means feeding the brain. Dancing, or any other physical activity, enhances metabolism in cells, including the brain. So feel free to take active breaks in learning and memorizing anything, and after active games, repeat the memorized material again.

Don't forget the most important thing - positive emotions And positive attitude! Under stress, under duress, a small child’s memory is blocked - this is a protective reaction of the child’s psyche from external threats. Choose the right time for classes, make sure that the child is comfortable and in good mood. The child’s brain is inquisitive - this is the main rule from which one must build when starting to educate a child. Be patient, be creative, and share the joy of learning with each other. You will undoubtedly be pleased with the results of this approach.

In this article we will look at a very bright and interesting topic for children. Namely, let's talk about the rainbow.

Children are little “whys” who, in principle, are interested in everything that surrounds them. Despite this, sometimes it can be very difficult to convey any information to the baby, especially if it concerns learning something. With the help of natural phenomena and surrounding objects, you can easily and quickly teach a child basic things. Such, for example, as colors, counting.

All the colors of the rainbow in order for children, schoolchildren: the correct sequence and names of colors

The rainbow is something magical and extraordinary for all children. However, not all parents use this colorful beauty as a learning assistant. And in vain. Once your little one is interested in such beauty, you can easily learn the basic colors and have fun at the same time.

It is important to understand that it is you and me, adults, who understand what a rainbow is. For a child, this is something beautiful and unusual, something that he sees rarely, and perhaps even for the first time. That is why it is initially necessary to give the child an idea of this phenomenon. Of course, you shouldn’t explain to a 3-year-old child what a rainbow is from a scientific point of view, but it’s worth telling the general picture.
So, a rainbow is a multi-colored arc that we see, as a rule, in the sky due to the interaction of water drops and sun rays. The sun's rays are refracted in drops of water (rain, fountain) and these colorful arcs in the sky are obtained.
By the way, a rainbow can be seen not only after rain, it can be observed near fountains, on the seashore and other bodies of water. That is, wherever a ray of sun can “pass” through droplets of water.

An interesting fact is that it is very difficult to see all the colors of the rainbow with the naked eye, which is why in ancient times only a few colors were identified. Over time, almost everyone began to lean towards the opinion that there are only 7 colors in the rainbow, however, there are also peoples who still count only 6.

Red. This color is quite bright; in the rainbow it gradually fades and smoothly turns into orange.
Orange. This color gradually becomes even lighter and warmer and turns into yellow.
Yellow. At this stage, the yellow arc begins to turn slightly green, causing us to see a light green color
Green. Then blue tones smoothly merge into the green color, and the arc acquires a pure blue color
Blue. Then a more saturated blue color appears
Blue. After the blue arc we see the last purple arc
Violet. This color completes the rainbow. The purple arc is always the smallest and shortest

What color does a rainbow begin with? What colors are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in order in the rainbow?

To make it easier and more interesting for your child to learn the rainbow and the colors that make it up, be sure to tell something interesting about each color and name the objects with which it can be associated.

The first color that “opens” the rainbow is red. Red is considered the color of love, comfort, warmth, and care. You can associate the color with red berries (strawberries), vegetables (peppers)
The 2nd color of the rainbow is orange. This color symbolizes peace and energy, warmth. You can associate it with the sun, oranges, orange flowers, tangerines
The 3rd one is yellow. This color symbolizes nothing more than warmth, peace, comfort, tranquility and, of course, the sun
4th color green. This color is classified as an energetic, cheerful color. It is associated primarily with grass, the river and all nature, if we talk about it in general
The 5th color is blue. It is the color of peace, tranquility and friendship. It is naturally associated with the sky and sea
6th in a row blue. This color is considered to be the color of kindness, understanding, and loyalty. The first thing you think of when you see the color blue is the sky, the sea
The 7th color of the rainbow is purple. This is a mystery color; often it is the color violet that is endowed with mystical abilities. It is associated with flowers, some vegetables and berries (blackberries, blueberries, eggplant)

Not just telling your child about the colors of the rainbow, but also showing them, talking about objects that come in the same color, you can easily teach your child all the primary colors.

Colors of the rainbow in English: names with transcription

English is by far the most popular language in the world. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that they begin to teach it in kindergarten. Almost the first thing that little ones begin to learn is colors. Since it is letters, counting, colors, etc. are basic basic knowledge.

Without knowing sufficient level The English language is quite difficult to learn its words. Because words read incorrectly will be learned incorrectly. In this case, transcription comes to the rescue.

So, the first color of the rainbow red, written in English red and has the following transcription - . It must be said that red is often translated not only as red, but also as scarlet, crimson
Second color - orange, written as orange and is read as [ˈɒrɪndʒ]
Coming third yellow- we write it as yellow, and read as follows – [ˈjeləʊ]
The fourth color of the rainbow - green. When written, the word looks like this: gree n, read as follows – [ɡriːn]
Comes fifth blue. In English, color has the following name and transcription - blue
The sixth color of the rainbow is blue. In English it is written and read similarly to blue. Sometimes you can find this spelling blue –dark blue, in this case the transcription will be [dɑːrk] [bluː]
And the final color is violet. In English, color is written as purple, with transcription [ˈpɜːpəl]. Or violet with transcription [ˈvaɪələt] – this color is darker and more saturated

How many cold and warm colors are there in a rainbow?

First you need to understand what cold and warm colors are. After all, not everyone knows that all colors can be divided according to this classification.

What type of color a color is depends on the wavelength of the spectrum. The longer this wave is, the warmer the color will be and vice versa, the shorter the wave, the cooler the color will be. Moreover, information regarding this indicator is freely available and anyone can find it out.
Despite this, we have no way to know this indicator solely with the help of vision, so people often determine what type a color belongs to solely by subjective indicators.
Firstly, all colors that predominate during the cold season - winter - are considered cold. Those colors that are often found in summer are considered warm.
Secondly, when seeing a cold color or shade, that is, a color with a short wavelength, a person relaxes, calms down, feels peace and tranquility, and may feel a certain coldness. With warm colors the opposite is true: seeing them, a person wakes up emotionally, feels a surge of strength, energy, visually the room in such colors seems lighter, warmer and more comfortable.

As for the flowers of the multi-colored beauty, they belong to the following:

Cold colors include blue, blue and purple colors. Their wavelength is the shortest.
Warm colors include red, yellow and orange.
But with green not everything is so simple. This color consists of 2 others: yellow - warm and blue - cold. Essentially given color can be called neutral because it has both warm and cool undertones.

All of the above information concerns pure flowers, of which there are very few in nature. To more accurately determine whether a particular shade belongs to a cold or warm color, you need to consider the colors and their component shades in detail. For example, if yellow predominates in green, then it should be classified as warm, if blue – as cold

How to quickly remember the colors of the rainbow?

The process of learning and memorizing colors, in principle, like any other information, occurs differently for each person. Some people pick up everything on the fly, while others need to put in a lot of effort to learn even a few words.

It is much easier to remember the colors of the rainbow by associating them and the sequence itself with some expression. There has long been a saying: “Every Hunter Wants to Know Where the Pheasant Sits”. The capital letter of each word is the letter that begins with the color present in the rainbow. At the same time, the sequence of colors is also preserved - red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. By remembering such a simple expression, you can very quickly and easily remember all the colors of the rainbow and the sequence in which we see them.

There are other options for similar hint expressions, for example: “Sewn Blue Sweatshirts for the Cat, Donkey, Giraffe, and Bunny”. For small children, this option, in principle, may be even simpler and more interesting. Having chosen this expression for a hint, do not forget to explain to your child what a sweatshirt is.
It is also important to develop memory. To do this, you need to learn different poems and read books.
Don’t forget that it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to learn everything at once. Therefore, constantly return to this topic, but try not to be too obsessive with the idea of learning, especially if we're talking about O small child. Periodically remember the colors, repeat the associations to them.

The study of colors and rainbows as a natural phenomenon, if desired, can be turned into a most interesting game, during which all colors and their sequence will be learned quickly and easily.

At what age should a child know colors?

At one and a half to two years old, a child can already distinguish colors visually well. Between two and three years, when the child begins to speak, it makes sense to start learning the names of colors.

How to teach a child to distinguish colors?

Simple and effective way- focus on colors in everyday life. While walking, playing, reading, pay attention to the colors. Start with the most basic ones, avoiding shades. While playing with your child, note that the car is blue, the cube is yellow, and the ball is red. Ask him to give you this or that item of a certain color. IN game form you can start looking for all green objects in the room.

What will help you learn colors?

Multi-colored cubes, balloons, crayons, colored paper or cardboard, pencils, educational books. With older children (about 4 years old and older), you can color the coloring pages with felt-tip pens.

Anything else?

Engage with your child regularly. Kindly correct his mistakes and praise his successes. Be patient and success will not take long to arrive.

Rainbow colors for children

Rainbow is an incredibly beautiful natural phenomenon. It looks like a multi-colored arc made up of colors (from the outer edge: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). These are the seven colors that are usually identified in the rainbow in Russian culture. Below are visual pictures for teaching your child the basic colors.

The order of the colors is easy to remember using the mnemonic phrase: “ TO every O hunter and wants h nah, G de With goes f adhan." There are other options: " TO ak O once AND ak- h lantern G city With broke f onar. ( TO ak ABOUT once AND en Z lantern G tin WITH carried F onar)" and " TO from O slu, and Irafu, h Ike G blue With sewed f Ufaiki." In these sentences, each first letter in a word represents the initial letter of a color.

Poem about colors

I'm in my grandmother's garden
I'll find a lot of red:
This is red raspberry
Nearby there is a red viburnum,
And they matured at the fence
Two handsome tomatoes.

Orange apricot
Grew on a tree.
Grew up, matured,
And I ate it.

These are yellow chickens.
Look, they are running somewhere.
Apparently mom is in the yard
Found a worm in the grass.

Here are the green frogs
And green grass.
In a swamp at the edge of the forest
You can hear a friendly “kwa-kwa!”

In summer the sky is above you
Blue-blue!
Bells underneath
Let's draw it blue.

Blue ball over the track
Flies into the clouds.
Wave your hand at him:
- Goodbye! Bye!

The eggplant lies in the garden -
Purple barrel.
And inside there is a sweet plum
A worm has settled in.
