This game works well both as a competition or as a shared project when you can work together to compete against the clock.
Age: 4+
Begin by trying to spot a red car.
When you have spotted a red car, you can move on to orange. Orange cars are quite rare so you can apply a bit of colour mixing. If you spot a red and a yellow car close to each other you can call 'orange'.
You must now spot a different yellow car for yellow.
Work down the rainbow to green (yellow and blue), blue and purple (blue and red).
Variations:
- Compete to see who can complete the rainbow first. Give everyone paper so they can keep track.
- Spot the colours in any order.
- Introduce white as a 'wild card' which can act as any other colour. As there are many white cars on the road, you might want to limit it to one wild card per game!
