Colour Green Worksheet
Green is the colour of grass, leaves and frogs. It is the colour of growing things, so children find it on every walk outside. This worksheet has green to trace, green things to circle, a tree to reveal by colouring and a sentence to trace.
What’s on the green worksheet
Trace green, circle the green things among eight pictures, colour the dotted squares to find a hidden tree and trace “Grass is green.”
Things that are green
- Grass, leaves, trees and most plants
- Peas, broccoli, cucumbers and green apples
- Frogs, crocodiles and caterpillars
- The bottom light on a traffic light, meaning go
- Four-leaf clovers and many garden doors
Mixing green
Green is a secondary colour: mix yellow and blue paint to make it. More yellow makes a bright lime green; more blue makes a cooler, darker green. Mixing your own green is a little science experiment.
Shades of green
Light greens include lime and mint. Middle greens are grass green and apple green. Dark greens have names like forest, pine and olive. Leaves in a garden show many greens side by side.
Activity: Leaf match
Collect five different green leaves outside. Back home, your child lines them up from lightest to darkest, then tries to match each leaf with a green crayon or paint. Notice how many greens nature has.
Talking about green
Use green for nature and for go: “The light is green, we can cross now”, “Look how green the grass is after the rain.” Children quickly learn that green can also mean safe to go.

Green questions
What two colours make green?
Yellow and blue make green. Try mixing a little blue paint into yellow and watch it change. Changing the amounts gives you lighter or darker greens.
Why are leaves green?
Leaves contain chlorophyll, which helps plants turn sunlight into food. Chlorophyll reflects green light, so that is the colour we see.
