COLORES ✦ LITTLE LATIN MINUTE · WEEK 8
Lucia is helping paint a mosaic for her family's domus. But the paint pots are labeled in Latin! Learn six color words and help her finish the picture.
STEP 1 · LEARN
Tap each paint pot to discover its Latin name.
💡 Can You See Latin in English?
Caeruleus gives us cerulean, a sky-blue color. Viridis is related to verdant, which means green and leafy. And albus is hiding in album, which first meant a blank white tablet. You already know more Latin than you think!
🏛️ Bonus Roman Fact
Purple dye was so rare and costly that only the most important Romans wore it. The Latin word for purple is PURPUREUS (poor-POO-reh-us). That is where we get the word purple!
Discover all six colors to unlock the mosaic.
STEP 2 · PAINT
Each tile has a number. Read the Latin key, pick the matching paint, then tap a tile to fill its whole area.
