The Color Balls game is a challenging game that requires students to focus their attention on the color of the ball as opposed to the color of the text on the ball. While the game may appear simple, it can be quite frustrating. In this Color Balls game, many balls of different colors appear on the screen. Each ball has the name of a color on it, but the text may be of a different color. The objective of the game is for players to click on balls on which the name of the color matches the color of the ball. Players must ensure that the word matches the color of the ball and not the color of the text. There are 8 levels in this game. With each level, the game gets more difficult to play – http://www.knowledgeadventure.com/games/colour-balls/

  • Create colorful turkeys.  Be imaginative and create names for crayons or paint. Share names of colors and brainstorm how the creator came up with the colors.  Use creativity to rename colors based on things they are thankful for. Ex.  Dad’s Saucy Red, Soccer Field Green, Jennifer Blonde, etc.  Thanks to Maya for my beautiful turkey!
