An original game for children to learn colors in English

I have found a fun game for children that you can print yourself from home. It's about the typical matching colors game but with poles and ice cream.

Learn colors with ice cream balls and popsicles that must be paired with their corresponding cookie cone or ice cream stick. The printable is written in English, if your child is very young and still cannot read, you can read the colors in Spanish, if they are already experts in the field and your children know even the color "watermelon", perhaps it is time for let the colors be known in English, so you can read them as they appear in the printable.

If you can read, you can help them with the translation, you will see how in a few days you learn the basic colors in English.

It is a homemade game that you can also save for future occasions as it comes with a special pocket to store the ice cream balls and the poles.

You can download printables to trim in this link (where it says "free download")

How to play

The child must match the colors of the ice cream balls with the color inside the cone and match the poles with the correct color name.
