Game - Colour Recognition

Today, we are going to do a game on colour recognition. I brought in 2 different boxes of colourful toys into the class. Before this, I also prepared the flash cards for the children to match the colours with it. 

I divided the class into 2 big groups so that they could each work with one box of toys. The children take turns to take the colour flash cards from me. For example, Edmund holds a card says "blue". He needed to go back to the box of toys and collect about 5 pieces of blue toys. If he got the colour wrong, he would have to return to the box and collect the correct colour. Otherwise, he would be given another new card. The children will try their best to complete all the colours that I wrote down on the flash cards. 

Most of the children could independently complete the task and also recognised which colour card they had done. Only a few of them got some colours wrongly and needed to repeat the search. 

Looking at the clock, we still have about 20 minutes left, I wanted to play them 2 interesting video of how other people do with colours.
