Games - Clowning Colors Board Game

Rules:

each child rolls the color die or spins the spinner

if die shows 'green', then that child uses a marker to cover the 'green' balloon on their game card

next child takes a turn and so on

game continues until all colors are covered

if a child spins or rolls a color they already have, they miss a turn

older children may enjoy playing more competitively to see who can finish their card first

You will need:

four to six game cards cut from chip or cereal boxes
a clown over to one side of each card
a bouquet of balloons for the clown to hold
color the balloons using felts or sticker paper or paint them
make paper or lightweight cardboard disks to fit on top of the balloons on each game card
get a color die from an educational toy store or make a spinner using a piece of the chip or cereal box and poking a hole in the centre for a pencil to wedge into (cut each edge to represent a color and color the wedges in to match the balloons on the cards)

What to do:

play with 4 to 6 children at a time

explain the rules of the game to the children

when a child is finished playing, another child may join and begin playing his/her game card
