In today's selection, we have collected 13 games that will help not only develop the skill of color perception, but also master the technique of drawing up color codes.

Well, you can also save the world from colored aliens :)

kolor.moro.es

Kolor- a game of matching colors. Your task: choose from 4 options the color that matches the one displayed on the screen.

With each guessed color, the difficulty increases: the differences in colors become less and less noticeable.

Hex Invaders

A game Hex Invaders, developed by web agency 352inc, is designed to master the RGB color palette. You will have to try on the role of a designer-savior who destroys space aliens of color! Shoot the alien whose RGB code is displayed on the screen!

RGB Guessing Challenge

After successfully mastering the game Hex Invaders, you can safely move on to RGB Guessing Challenge - a complicated way to orient yourself in GRB color codes.

By the color code displayed on the screen, you need to recognize this color.

A color matching game

A color matching game divided into 6 sections, each of which has tasks related to finding the desired color on the color wheel.

In each section that opens after the completion of the previous one (regardless of whether it is successful or not), the level of difficulty increases: first you need to select only 1 desired color on the circular palette, then select the desired color and its saturation, after which the number of colors that you must choose correctly grows: first 2, then 3 and 4.

After completing all the sections, you receive a score on a 10-point system.

Odd one out

Odd one out- the classic game "find the difference": a field is displayed on the screen, on which all cells are the same color and only one is different. This is what you need to find.

With each new level, the complexity increases: it becomes quite problematic to distinguish the desired cell from the rest.

ColorRun

ColorRun is a mobile game developed for iOS and Android devices. The essence of its game is exactly the same as that of A Color Matching Game - you need to find a lighter shade of the displayed color on the screen. But there will be 2 blocks in total on the field: i.e. you do not need to first inspect the entire field, as in A Color Matching Game (which is logical, because the screen of a mobile phone is not so big), but immediately click on the right or left half of the screen - whichever is lighter.

ColorMindblow

A game ColorMindblow will help develop attentiveness to color and text: you need to press the T (if true) or F (false) buttons if the word written on the screen indicates the background color of the screen.

It's pretty easy to play in English, because we don't read words very much, but in Russian such a game would cause big problems.

Online Color Challenge

The task of the game Online Color Challenge develop color perception: it is necessary to build the correct gradient from one color to another, using 20 blocks with a slightly different color.

Of course, it all depends a lot on the calibration of your monitor, but most tasks are not as difficult as they seem, and they are easy to handle.

blendoku

blendoku is another game for iOS and Android, in which the player is required to compose the correct gradient transition.

The higher the difficulty level, the more blocks you need to place: first - only 4 blocks, then - 6, and then - gradient transitions between colors from more than 20 blocks.

Color Practice

Color play Color Practice designed for iPad users only. In this game, your task is to arrange all the color blocks on the screen in the correct order: saturation, brightness and color.

Color sheep

Another mobile game Color sheep, in which you, as a sheep, must cope with packs of RGB-wolves, choosing the right "weapon" in the form of color against each opponent.

Rigibi

In Rigibi, the main task is to correctly combine the colors of the RGB model. There are 99 levels in the game, after passing which you will definitely understand the principle of forming color codes and mixing them to obtain the desired shades and colors.

Dots

Dots- the first game from the developers of the very popular game Two Dots. The essence of the Dots game is to correctly connect dots of the same color, combine colors, and build the correct gradient.

It makes sense to start teaching colors with a child from infancy, and not only colors, at the same time you can learn both forms and even materials. When giving a rattle to a child, for example, say: "This is a rattle. The rattle is round, red, like a rattle rattles, but let's listen (we rattle)."

Games, rhymes and songs will help, together with them, teaching the kid turns into a game.

Poems about colors for the little ones

Learning colors: games for the little ones

It is necessary to cut shapes of different colors from colored cardboard and prepare envelopes of the same color (paint ordinary postal envelopes with pencils or stick an identification mark with the desired color on them). The child's task is to correctly arrange the figures in the envelopes, the parent's task is to repeat the color of the figure aloud. Later, the child himself will pronounce the colors. You can use this set to study shapes as well.

It will help to learn colors and computer games for kids well, but keep in mind that it is not advisable for a child to sit at the computer for up to a year, and after a year, you can stay at the monitor for no more than 30 minutes.

There is an excellent online game "Learning letters. Simulator for remembering the names of flowers for a child." The game is based on the same principle as the board game with cards. The child drags the colored figures with the cursor to the emoticons of the same color, and the game pronounces the name of the color aloud. You can play this game on the GamesPlus.ru website.

Another game is Colored Magic Boxes. The child is invited to arrange objects of different colors in the boxes. This is a more difficult game than the previous one, because in it the shades of the same color may differ, and the child must navigate to which color the shade of a particular object is closer. ...

Color learning games

Traffic light

A simple outdoor game, suitable as entertainment not only at home, but also on the street. And in a company with other children it will be even more fun. For kids, we cut out circles from cardboard: red, yellow and green. Coming up with simple actions for a specific color. For example, on red, children should stand, on yellow, wave their hands or jump in place, on green, take a step forward or backward. Gradually, you can gradually complicate the task: first, pronounce the color and show a circle of the corresponding color, then just show the circle, and then you can just name the color.

"What happens ..."

The game is not only for memorizing colors, but also for developing thinking and improving memory. Choose a specific color such as yellow. And ask your kid a question: what is yellow? The sun, a flower, a typewriter, leaves and so on. The kid can answer independently, or you can answer in turn to make the game more interesting. An older child can also ask you a question in response: what is (the child's chosen) color? And you also have to answer. By the way, this game can be played on the road, on a walk, in line, involving other kids.

Butterflies on flowers

This is a simple game to help you learn colors. Moreover, this game is suitable for any child, you can start with the basic four colors, gradually increasing their number. For this game, you need to cut flowers and butterflies from colored cardboard (or you can print on a color printer on photo paper and then cut out). You can start with a set of four primary colors: red, blue, yellow and green, gradually adding new colors to them, for example, orange, brown, blue, pink. By the way, another option is to cut out of white cardboard and paint the necessary attributes with the child. The essence of the game is to plant a butterfly on a flower of the same color as it. Gradually, we complicate the game, specifying which butterfly to plant on which flower, for example: a yellow butterfly on a red flower, a blue one on a green one, and so on.

We build houses

For this game, you also need to prepare: cut out parts of the houses from colored cardboard, such as the roof (triangle), base (large square), windows (small squares). In the beginning, while the child is just starting to learn colors, only the base and the roof can be used. Collect houses, deliberately mixing up the colors: put a yellow roof on a red square, a blue roof on a yellow one, and so on. Then ask the kid to arrange the roofs correctly, on the yellow square - yellow, on the green - green. Gradually, you can complicate the game: ask the kid to assemble the houses on his own, first from the base and the roof of the same color, and then complicate it even more. Let the child assemble the house according to the criteria you named: red base, green roof, yellow window. That is, you name a part of the house and sound the color, and the child collects.

We play while going for a walk

Yes, yes, and even getting ready for a walk can be turned into a flower learning game. Prepare things for the baby, for example, 2-3 pants, the same number of T-shirts. Ask your child to bring a green T-shirt. Let the kid choose the right color from the proposed one. After the kid has completed the task, we put on a T-shirt and ask him to bring, for example, brown pants. The child must find the right one on his own. After the child begins to easily navigate, the game can be slightly complicated. For example, put the shirts on the bed in the bedroom and the pants on the sofa in the living room. And ask to bring the right thing of a certain color from a specific place. For example, please bring a yellow T-shirt from the bed in the bedroom. The only drawback of this game is that you can play it only when you have free time. If you are in a hurry and quickly dress your child, then you will not be able to play.

We collect toys by color

As you tidy up the room, invite your child to take turns collecting toys of certain colors. For example, first collect everything yellow: yellow parts from constructors, yellow cars, a yellow ball or a book, and so on. The game is simple, but it will help you clean up toys and remember colors. But it also takes time.

Builder

Now almost every kid has a Lego-type constructor, a hollow, a crumb or a baby, with large building blocks, locomotives, a railway and so on. Suggest your young builder to build a house or even a small town using "bricks", trailers, railroad spans of only one specific color. For example, red. Quite a crumb can simply connect pieces of a certain color, building a wall.

A few of these simple games will help your child memorize basic colors quickly and easily. Gradually introduce new colors and shades into the game, and pretty soon your baby will delight you, recognizing and naming and on his own.

Check of knowledge

Now let's check how the kid remembered the basic colors. Ask him to name as many items of the desired color as possible. At first, the following pictures will help:

And riddles will help to consolidate knowledge about colors.

They feel sorry for the brawler right away,
And here is the eggplant and plum
With him we are satisfied and happy.

Every sighted boy will say
About him, that he is girly,
If we dunk the stork,
Will become like a flamingo in it.

Sign of a speaking fish
He's hidden in a box by a pirate
There is in the crown and in the ring,
And on the fabulous porch.
