 Students bring the object or point and say: “This is yellow.”

Activity 6. Mystery Bag Game.  Put color cutouts in a bag. Student pulls one WITHOUT looking. Says the color.

Activity 7.Color Line-Up. Give each student a color word cutout. Call a line up sequence: “white,blue,black,brown, pink!” Students line up in that order. Great for: Listening skills and Sequencing.
