Jumping colors

Flashcard game idea for ESL teaching


JUMPING COLORS FLASHCARD GAME


This game can boosts colors memorizing in a fun way while teaching "Colors" to the ESL students. You can use it also as an intro lesson when teaching "The Rainbow Colors Song". Arrange two sets of plasticized flashcards "Colors" on the floor in the shape of two squares or circles, making sure to leave enough space in the middle where the students will stand. 

If it's only one child will play this game then you need to form just one circle. When you say the color, the child's task is to jump to the matching color/flashcard on the floor as quickly as possible.

When it comes to a larger group of students, playing in pairs is faster and more interesting, and can also work as a competitive game. In that case, divide the students into two groups/teams. One child from each group takes turns. When you say a certain color,  students need to jump to the appropriate flashcard as quickly as possible. The child who first jumps to the matching color gets one point for his team or two points but loses one point if jumping on the wrong color. You should adopt the rules of the game depending on students' age and level.
