Using The Day the Crayons Lost their Color Activity, students match color pictures, words, and objects to build their recognition of colors.

This activity helps students to identify colors and practice writing the color word underneath the picture. This activity is perfect for early finishers or literacy centers.

The object of the game is to travel around the game board to collect the colored crayons needed to fill your box. Roll a die and move that many colored spaces. If you land on a color that you need in your box, take that color crayon and place it inside your box. Players take turns moving around the game board and collecting crayons. The first player to fill their crayon box is the winner!
