Do you love to color? I enjoy it and it can be oh so relaxing. Color by number activities have been popular with teachers for many reasons. I know I did color by number activities when I was in school.Â
Why do teachers normally use color by number activities?
I wanted the Color by Number activity used in my class to be engaging and to go beyond reviewing colors, just coloring, and holiday themes before breaks. I’ve used them for those reasons but I never had any for units or lessons.
PROBLEM:
There weren’t any color by number activities out there to fit into my lessons.
SOLUTION:
I put a spin on my color by number by adding questions that students have to answer in order to find the colors in the color by number. Students have to engage with the content in order to get the colors for the activity.
None of that 1 – rojo, 2 – amarillo, anymore. Students have to use what they learn to get the colors.
What does a color by number activity look like?
Each activity includes 12 questions and each correct answer will give students the color they need. For example, if a student answers number 1 and the color to the correct answer is red, all the 1’s will be colored red.
The questions types can vary depending on the skill being assess. It can be complete the sentence, image recognition or a mixture of a variety of question types.
Question types:
- vocabulary riddles
- image recognition for vocabulary
- reading comprehension
- logical or illogical
- complete the sentence
- comprehension questions from graphics
