Objective: To review the names of colors and identify objects as­sociated with those colors.
Language level: intermediate and advanced
Equipment and material: A bean bag or similar object of tossing, other than a ball.
This is a quick reaction game. It is especially good with young peo­ple, who get restless and need a release for their energy from time to time.
The players stand in a circle. One player has the bean bag. He throws it to another player in the circle, at the same time calling out a color.
The second player must catch the bean bag and, upon catching it, call out the name of something that is that color. He, in turn, tosses the bean bag to the next player, shouting out the name of a different color. The game proceeds as follows:
Example:
Flayer 1: Blue! (throwing the object to another player)
Player 2: Sky! (tosses object to a third player) Green.
Player 3: Grass! (tosses object to another player) Red!
Player 4: Tomato!
Colors may be repeated but the answers should be different. If one player gives sky for blue, then the next blue should be a different object of that color, such as water. For each error, a student re­ceives a point against him. He also gets a point against him if he hesitates too long in answering. A player is eliminated from the game when he has three points against him. Whenever you wish to terminate the game, the player with the fewest (or no) points against him wins.
Option: In a large class this could be a team game. The class could be divided into two teams which are lined up, facing each other.
