Name that Color

What to do:

  1. Scatter large sheets or circles of colored paper on the floor.
  2. Have children take turns asking another child to put a part of their body on to different colors of paper on the floor. Ask Susie to put her foot on the red paper, and so on.
  3. You can turn the game into a Simon Says game activity for older children.
