Color Theory Enhancement Game

How do you describe color?

Classroom Adaption Suggestions:

  • It’s made for 10 players, but you could make additional markers with a 3-D printer if you wanted to expand the players; they look just like the broken tips of crayons.
  • Assign students small groups of 2-3 for each board piece.
  • Write the words they used to describe the colors on the board. (The words cannot be repeated and this gives them a chance to visually remember.)
  • Have a score keeper. The game moves much quicker if one person is keeping track of points.
  • Review the names of Crayons in an extra large box of Crayola Crayons – This can give students a jump of descriptive words as they explain their colors to one another.
