For this listening oriented game, print out Bingo cards or create your own. Bingo cards should feature five rows of five squares, with a total of 25 squares. Ask your students to use crayons or markers to fill in the squares with colors of their choice. Make sure that students distribute the colors reasonably -- for example, an entire board should not be red or purple. When your students have filled in their cards, call out the names of colors in French and ask them to mark a square when you call out a color. When someone fills five squares in a row, he earns a prize.
If you do not feel up to the task of creating an entirely new set of Bingo cards, you can teach your students colors in French using the familiar children's board game Candy Land. Find several Candy Land sets (you will need one for every four students) and ask the students to shout out the name of the color that appears on each card they draw. They should also say the name of each color as they move their token past it on the game board.
If you are interested in a more leisurely, creative game for your class, find coloring sheets and lightly pencil in the names of colors that students should use to fill in between each set of lines. For instance, you could write "rouge" over a strawberry that you want your students to color red. When the coloring is complete, give a prize to students who used the correct colors. Consider selecting seasonally appropriate coloring sheets: use spooky images around Halloween or winter scenes just before Christmas break, for example.
If you want a game that students can take home, track down French language copies of popular children's books that involve color, such as Eric Carle's "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Can You See?" and "The Mixed Up Chameleon." Ask your students to read one book each night for a week. Every student who successfully completes the challenge wins the reading derby and earns a prize. Other book choices include Leo Lionni's "Little Blue and Little Yellow" and David McKnee's "Elmer."
