Default Re: colours - more ideas needed

- "I spy...": Sit or stand in a circle with your students and teach them "I spy with my little eye something [color]". Students have to run and touch something of that color.
- Flashcard Slam (to help memorise vocabulary): divide class into 2 teams, let them decide on a team name (they love that). Write team names on the board to help you keep score. One person from each team stands at the back of the room. Color flashcards are on the other end of the room (wall or desk). You call out a color and both students run (or walk/skip etc. whatever you tell them) to get the correct card, run back to their starting position and say the word correctly in order to score a point for their team.
- "If you're wearing [color]": all sit in a circle. Teacher calls out "if you're wearing red, jump" for example. For this activity, the kids have to know some action words, though.
Good luck!
