ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Smile and Learn English Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Colors for Kids
Hey there! Are you ready to learn some fun things about colors? Let’s dive in!
There are three special colors called primary colors. They are:
These colors are called primary because we can mix them to make all other colors. Isn’t that amazing?
Now, let’s see what happens when we mix primary colors together. We get something called secondary colors!
Wow! Now we have the secondary colors: red, green, and cobalt blue!
Let’s explore even more colors by mixing primary and secondary colors together. These are called tertiary colors!
Look at all these beautiful colors we made: orange, light green, turquoise green, fuchsia, and violet!
You can try mixing colors at home to see what new colors you can create. Remember, mixing a primary color with a secondary color gives you a tertiary color. Have fun experimenting!
We learned so much about colors today! Thanks for joining us, and see you next time!
Color Mixing Experiment: Gather some safe, washable paints in the primary colors: cyan blue, yellow, and magenta. Use a palette or a piece of paper to mix these colors and create secondary and tertiary colors. Encourage children to predict what color they will get before mixing. Ask them questions like, “What do you think will happen if we mix magenta and cyan blue?” and “Can you make a color that looks like the sky or grass?”
Color Hunt: Go on a color hunt around your home or classroom. Ask the children to find objects that match the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors they learned about. For example, find something yellow, something red, and something orange. Discuss how these colors are used in everyday objects and why they might be chosen for certain things, like a bright yellow sun or a red apple.
Color Wheel Craft: Create a simple color wheel using paper plates. Divide the plate into sections and paint each section with primary, secondary, and tertiary colors. Label each section with the color name. This hands-on activity helps children visualize the relationship between different colors and understand how they are created. Ask them, “Can you see how the colors next to each other are related?”
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

We are here to share some really cool things about colors! Do you want to stay with us?
There are three primary colors:
– I’m cyan blue, a great color!
– I’m yellow, the most beautiful color of all!
– I’m magenta, the coolest of them all!
Alright, let’s explain to our friends why we are the primary colors.
Being primary colors means that by using our colors, we can create all other colors.
Good explanation! Should we mix together to make secondary colors?
[Music]
Secondary colors are made from mixing primary colors. Who wants to start making colors?
Me!
Do you know what secondary color we will get from mixing yellow and magenta?
It is red!
Welcome, friend!
Thanks for making me friends!
Wow, just from mixing magenta and yellow, we get red!
Let’s see what secondary color we will get from mixing yellow and cyan.
[Music]
It’s green!
It’s amazing!
I’m so glad you made me!
Thanks!
From mixing blue and yellow, we get green.
Now we still have to make another color by mixing blue and magenta. Let’s see what secondary color we get.
[Music]
It’s cobalt blue!
So cool!
Hello, thanks for making me!
What an awesome color!
Now we have all the secondary colors: green, red, and cobalt blue.
We have all these thanks to mixing the primary colors: cyan, magenta, and yellow.
[Music]
As you already know, we are the primary colors: cyan, magenta, and yellow.
You also know that we are secondary colors: cobalt blue, green, and red.
Now we are going to explain tertiary colors.
[Music]
Tertiary colors are the colors we get when we mix equal amounts of primary and secondary colors together.
How about we mix some colors together to understand it better?
Great idea!
Let’s start with yellow. What color will we get if we mix yellow and red?
Let’s try it!
Wow, it’s so cool!
What color is it?
It’s orange!
Welcome, friends!
Now I want to mix myself with green.
[Music]
One, two, and three!
We got another tone of green—it’s my cousin, light green!
Welcome!
You and I should mix together to see what color we will get.
Of course!
[Music]
Green, you have another cousin—turquoise green!
I have so many cousins!
My turn! Can I try?
Of course! Will you try it with me?
Yes!
[Music]
One, two, and three!
It’s fuchsia! What a cool color!
Hey, magenta, what if you mix together with cobalt blue? What color will you get?
Let’s see! Come here, cobalt, and let’s check it out.
One, two, and three!
It’s violet!
What a great color!
Hello, violet!
[Music]
There are several more tertiary colors—try it out at home!
As you now know, to make a tertiary color, you only need to mix equal parts of a primary and a secondary color together.
You have so many combinations!
Let’s review the colors we created today: orange, light green, turquoise green, violet, and fuchsia.
We have learned about so many colors!
That’s enough for today, guys. See you later!
