About the activity

In Find them all…, children look at a picture of a room, a garden or a kitchen and tap all the things of the colour they are looking for – balls, mugs, apples or little birds. A counter at the top shows how many they have found (for example 3 / 5). Each game has two pictures with two colours in each. In Odd one out, there are four things in a row and the children tap the one that is a different colour (6 rows). In Colour shadows, children drag each thing onto its colour shadow – the red car onto the red outline, the yellow one onto the yellow outline (4 rounds with 3 to 4 things). In Colour memory, they look for two cards of the same colour: in Easy the cards show drops (8 cards), in Harder two different things of the same colour (12 cards). At the start, the cards are shown face up for a moment.

In the teacher settings you can choose to play with 4 colours (red, blue, yellow, green) or with 8 colours (also orange, purple, pink, brown). Every colour has its own small symbol, which helps children who still find colours hard to tell apart. In Find them all…, a recorded voice says the name of the colour in the language of the game. There is no music, nobody can lose, and every time the game starts the colours and things change.

What children develop

  • recognising and telling colours apart
  • visual perception and concentration when searching a picture
  • matching a thing to its shadow and visual memory in the memory game
  • fine motor skills when dragging things

How to use it in class

  1. After Find them all…, play the same game in the classroom: “Find all the red things.”
  2. Play the memory game in pairs – one child turns the cards, the other names the colour.
