Time Length:
10-15 min depending on grade level

Lesson Point:
Colors

The Plan:
This is a supplemental activity to any lesson on colors. Any grade of elementary school students can do it. It will take far less time with sixth graders than first graders though.
Hand out the attached worksheet and tell the students you are going to play color bingo. While most older students will understand the rules, first, second, and possibly third graders will need the rules for bingo explained to them. Points to explain are that you can only use a color one time (younger students may have some trouble with this), that if you don't color a butterfly it is the color white, that all the butterflies must be colored, and that if you get three in a row/column or diagonally then you have bingo and have won.
It should be noted that most sixth graders do not have crayons etc. that they carry around all the time. If you want to do color bingo with grade five or six students you should mention to the teacher that the kids will need to have coloring tools available.
The youngest students may also benefit from guided coloring. Have the students get out all the needed colors to make sure they have the correct ones and then go through each of the colors one by one and color together.
