Color Game
I learned a new game from some second graders that may be useful for filling up short amounts of time with little ones and letting them get some movement. I said, “Touch something blue” and each student found something blue to touch. Etc. Some of them didn’t know what beige was, but their desks are basically that color. A couple of boys abused the game by wildly running around the room, but that was pretty easily curtailed.
And when I said Yellow, one boy pointed to a portion of my multi-colored shirt near my belly. Then I said Black and he pointed to a portion of my shirt on my breast (even though there was black throughout the shirt). He was only 7, but it was awkward, so I just said, “Not on me” and he found another place to touch.
