Color Words

This is a file folder color game that I have designed where students can start recognizing the names colors. The candles would be in a pouch and it would be like a loto game where the student has to pull the candle out of the pouch and then decide which cake says that color. Many times children know colors by site, so once they have mastered this my color game can be the next step in learning. As a child learns that R-E-D spells red, they are beginning the process of reading by sounding out the letters. Children love birthday cakes and playing a game that involves candles and birthday cakes is very eye appealing to many. This file folder color game can also be used as a counting tactic as the student counts the number of candles found on each cake. So this game actually has many different areas of learning that can take place while playing this file folder game. Students can correspond between the colored candles and the name of the color, practice beginners reading, and be able to count the number of candles on each cake. To make this color game a little more challenging once a child can read is to write the color names in a different color. Such as Purple or Blue so that the student has to really think of what they are reading and not let their mind get mix up when it sees the word wrote in another color. There are probably other variations that can be done to this game, so use your imagination and knowledge as your students have fun with the file folder color game!
