Why Practice Colors?

Color plays a vital role in a child’s development, particularly at this stage of their education. Engaging in color reinforcement activities provides numerous benefits for your child’s cognitive, emotional, and social growth. Participating in color reinforcement activities helps children improve their problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills. It encourages them to identify and differentiate between various colors, enhancing their visual perception and memory skills.

So Many Ways to Use This Resource!

This is one of those resources you love having in your classroom because it can be used in many ways! Look below for just a few ideas our team of teachers came up with:

  1. Reading Center Activity
    Students match the animal with its correct color, e.g. flamingo and pink.
  2. Back-to-School Icebreaker Activity 
    Give half of the students a color card and the other half a matching animal card. Have students walk around and look for their match. Then, have them introduce their partner to the class. This is also a great pre-assessment at the beginning of the year to see who knows their colors.
  3. Random Partner Generator
    Give half of the students a color card and the other half a matching animal card. When they find their match, they have their partner.
  4. Memory Game
    Using a small number of cards, lay them facedown in a grid on the floor or a table. Students turn over two cards. If they match (color and animal) they keep the cards. If not, they flip them back over. This can be played individually, with a partner or small group, or as a whole class.
