What children will practise
Practises Grade 2 colour knowledge: secondary colours come from two primaries, adding white lightens and black darkens, complementary colours sit opposite on the colour wheel, and same-tone pictures feel harmonious. Fits indicator ศ 1.1 ป.2/1.
What's in the worksheet
6 questions, choose from 3 - How are secondary colours made? (by mixing two primaries) - What happens when you add black to a colour? (it gets darker) - What is the complementary colour of red? (green) - How does a picture in one colour family feel? (harmonious and calm)
How to use it in class
Keep a colour wheel on the board throughout, about 6 minutes, solo on devices. For the complementary question, have children put a finger on red and slide straight through the centre to the other side. For a question many miss, mix the paint on a palette rather than explaining in words. Play it linked to the class and the scores go into the gradebook.
Common sticking points
- Complementary colour: children confuse "opposite" with "next to" on the wheel and choose orange for red. Use the finger-through-the-centre trick. - Secondary colours: "mix all three primaries" sounds plausible. Mix all three and show it gives a muddy brown, not a secondary colour. - Adding black: some pick "the colour disappears" if they have seen black swamp a colour.
