• Flies Swatter Game to Teach Colors SWAT!
Place a few different items on table (sight words, letters, numbers, colors, shapes, whatever you're working on) then give the kids a *clean* fly swatter , call out an item and they get to hit it! I tried playing with both my boys together but it was better doing it individually at their age. Keep those over zealous swatters in line with rules like "swatters UP!" when they found their target and then only let them hit it one time and hold it there for a second.  Idea from Jen.

•  Play a fishing game with colored fish.

•  Use UNO Cards - focus on the colors by playing various games.

•  Name the color of a block each time used to build something.

•  My Color Books - Each book contains a title, a place for the child to declare authorship (write their name), four sentences and pictures to match, and the words "The End."  All of the sentences follow the "A/An/The ______ is _______."  The pictures guide the child in reading the book.  The books are created so that you can print them front and back and have six total pages per book.
