Color Sorting Activity (Japanese)

Color Sorting Activity (Japanese) is a 16-card set of picture cards and 2 color sorting boards to help young learners practice identifying colors in Japanese. Students will cut out the picture cards showing familiar items like fruit, vehicles, animals, and clothing. Then they will sort each card onto one of the colored sorting boards categorized by the 8 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white and brown. As students match the picture cards to the appropriately colored sorting board, teachers can prompt them to name the color of each item in Japanese. This hands-on activity can be implemented in small groups or whole class to reinforce color words, matching skills, and fine motor development. The sorting boards can also be repurposed for additional categorical sorting opportunities. This versatile resource allows flexible implementation for early childhood Japanese language learners.
