Get set up
No equipment is required. Gather the group where everyone can hear the explanation and demonstrate one sample turn before starting.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Define the play area.
- Call one color.
- Players find and point to something matching it.
- For younger children, allow touching safe stationary objects.
- Call a new color and continue.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use shapes, textures, letters or team play instead of colors.
Make it a great round
No climbing, opening cupboards or grabbing objects that are fragile or in use.
Keep everyone comfortable
Invite players to pass or adapt the activity. Keep walkways clear and choose a seated version when movement is unsuitable.
