Color Spinner Wheel: Learn the Colors by Playing

About Color Spinner Wheel

This color spinner wheel is an educational game designed to learn and review the names of the basic colors in a fun way. When you press the "spin" button, the wheel spins and stops at random on a color; then you hear its pronunciation and must click the correct option from the list. It's a simple way to work on vocabulary and listening comprehension at the same time, since each round combines the image of the color, its written name and its pronunciation. Because it's a completely random color wheel every game is different and encourages you to repeat until you memorize all the names. It's a very useful resource for the classroom or for practicing at home before a vocabulary test.
