My kids and I love to spend time outside. In fact, we basically live outside once the weather gets nice, and before that, we still bundle up and brave the Minnesota cold as much as we can. This color scavenger hunt was inspired by our love for the outdoors and created because of the realization that my middle child was struggling with identifying his colors more than I previously had thought. Apparently, he has been piggybacking off his older brother’s knowledge and I hadn’t noticed as much as I should have! Hence, this color scavenger hunt was created. We have had a blast using it both indoors and outdoors.

You can use this color hunt in a variety of ways and modify it to fit your needs. There are two versions in the download and a color pattern worksheet.

Just because we like to use this outside, does not mean that you have to! We have also used the color wheel on windy and rainy days when going outside was just not possible.

Versions of the Color Hunt

In the download, you will receive three different pages.

Ideas For Using the Color Scavenger Hunt

Here are a few different ways you can ‘spice’ up your color scavenger hunt and use it multiple times!

Color Scavenger Hunt Supplies

Directions

Color Hunt Game Directions- Cut around the color wheel and laminate. If you don’t have colored clothes pins you can also laminate the colored dots and hot glue them to regular clothes pins. Allow your child to hunt around outside, inside, or anywhere to find their colors. Keep track by affixing the clothes pins to the appropriate color. In the end, you can allow the child to count how many clothes pins they used.

Color Scavenger Hunt Directions – If you want to do this activity multiple times, I recommend that you laminate the sheet to prevent tearing. using a clipboard have your child go outside and find small items that match the color on the worksheet. They can use tape to affix the item to the appropriate color.

Color Pattern Worksheet Directions – This worksheet was created as a way to reinforce and test the learning that took place on the color scavenger hunt or color hunt game. It’s great for color and pattern recognition.

Color Songs

There are a number of very fun color songs to reinforce colors. Many of them are very simple and can be sung to common nursery rhyme songs. Here are a few of my favorites. Another fun song is this one from YouTube that includes sign language for the colors.

Can you Find

(Sung to the tune of Muffin Man)

Can you find the pur-ple*,
The pur-ple, the pur-ple?
Can you find the pur-ple
The pur-ple crayon.

If You’re Wearing Something Blue
(Sung to the tune of If You’re Happy and You Know It)

If you’re wearing something blue*, clap your hands.
If you’re wearing something blue, clap your hands.
If you’re wearing something blue, then stomp your feet, too.
If you’re wearing something blue, cap your hands.

Twinkle Color Song

(Sung to the Tune Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)

Twinkle, twinkle yellow* star,
How I wonder where you are?
Let’s go looking here and there,
Let’s go looking everywhere.
Twinkle, twinkle, yellow star,
How I wonder where you are?

* Repeat, naming a different color each time.
