Colour Snap with words

This game can be used to teach colours and colour words to students new to English and even native English speakers. The cards are dealt out. Each player takes turns at placing the cards. While doing so, the player names the colour and can be corrected by other players if an error is made. If the colour on the card laid is the same as the previous card, the player says' snap' and takes the pile of cards that has built up on the table. A time limit can be put on playing the game. When time is up the winner is the person with the most cards.
If players are unsure of the name of a colour, they can be encouraged to sound out the word. Even if only the first sound is known, this provides a clue to the name of the colour.
