Easiest Way to Remember Colours of the Rainbow in English
4 years agoOne of the many topics in English that my students are always eager to learn is vocabulary!
How do you expect to have a free-flowing and confident conversation in any language if you don't know some of the words?
One of the topics I enjoy teaching my students during their vocabulary lessons is " colours ".
I know I used to struggle with remembering all 7 colours when I learnt about the rainbow in school, so I do understand when my students find it difficult to remember them too! But I found an easy trick and I hope this helps you too!.
All you need to do is remember this catchy phrase:
"Richard of York gave battle in vain."
The first letter of every word in the phrase is the first letter of all the different colours in the rainbow:
- Red (Richard)
- Orange (of)
- Yellow (York)
- Green (gave)
- Blue (battle)
- Indigo (in)
- Violet (vain)
See how easy that was?
