GAME PLAN: Welcome to spring! While the grass becomes lush and
green, all of the different colored flowers are in bloom. Everything in nature
seems to sparkle a different color. The kids have been cooped up inside all
winter, and now that the sun is shining it's the perfect time to play
"Race for the Rainbow"!
"Race for the Rainbow" - Give each child a plastic bag as
well as a piece of paper containing a written list of all of the colors of the
rainbow (Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet). Each child has
to find at least one object in nature (or anything outside) that matches each
color of the rainbow. For example: A red apple, orange leaf, yellow weed
(dandelion), etc. For each object they find they have to place it in their
plastic bags. The first kid to find objects that match each color of the
rainbow is the winner. (Each item found can only count for one color.)
On your mark, get set, go!
