How to use the color dice
- Choose how many dice and which colors: 6 colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple), 3 primary colors or 8 colors (adds pink and black).
- Press Roll or the space bar.
- Each die shows its color with the color name written on it, so it also works for players who find some colors hard to tell apart.
Games and ideas
- Color hunt: roll, then everyone finds something in the room in that color.
- Board games: move to the next square of the color you rolled.
- Art challenge: roll two dice and draw using only those colors.
- Color mixing: roll two primary colors and say what they make together.
- Movement game: give each color an action, like jump, clap or spin.
