Grab ‘n’ Go: Color Walk

Giving kids an activity to do while walking helps keep their interest on the walk. For this walk, we’ll be exploring color.

For younger walkers, provide a color swatch as a reminder of the color they are looking for — construction paper, paint chips, punched shapes, crayons, etc.

Area:

• Varies

Materials:

• Color samples

Steps:
Distribute colors — Let each walker (or pair of  walkers) choose a color or assign one to them. Provide a color sample.

Walk — As you walk, point out more unusual colors or ask questions to encourage your walkers to look beyond the obvious.

Discuss — You can choose to discuss the colors on the walk or when you return.
