Here is a game that can make teaching your preschooler his colors fun and easy. Learning colors is a necessary skill, needed to enter into kindergarten. Also, research tells us that repetition is the best way for young preschoolers to learn. Best of all, this game can be played in minutes not hours.
Instructions
1. Observe your child's current understanding of colors. This will help you when making this color game.
2. Take a manila folder and open it up. Making this game in a folder will last longer than using paper.
3. Draw 2 pictures side by side at the bottom and 2 pictures side by side at the top of the game. These pictures can be anything: a shape, a picture from a magazine or a picture of your preschooler.
4. Proceed from bottom to top, drawing 6 to 8 simple circles. You can also draw shapes.
5. Use different colors inside the circles. Remember to use colors that your child already knows and doesn't know. You want to build on her current knowledge.
6. Find two objects to use as game pieces. You can make these or find them in your child's room. For example, use erasers, old buttons or small pieces of fabric.
7. Locate dice or something that will determine the number of spaces you and your child will move. You can also make cards with both the written number and dots that correspond to the number written to determine the amount of spaces to move.
