Arabic Color Games
This cute set of 5 coloring worksheets was donated to TJ several years ago.

I originally made these as part of my laundry sorting system to teach my kids to sort the clothes by color and learn the Arabic names at the same time. We didn't sort our clothes into this many loads, lol, but I thought while I was making sorting tags, I might as well do all the major colors! 

Arabic Color Word Worksheet 1 - Student writes the color of each object (masculine forms only, some objects in worksheet are considered feminine so student should only focus on the color-sorry)
