Description

The Colorympic Games is a bundle of fun and fast games exploring (basic) colors. The games all use the same material, which means you waste no ink or endless time cutting. The only requirement, of course, is that you print the material in color.

The games are all of a different variety: some competitive, some cooperative, some more of a loose creative game, and so forth. But all the games are simple, with at most 1 page of rules, and completely focused on recognizing, matching, manipulating and drawing with a set of given colors. There is sure to be a game that fits every player or playing group.

And if you have the time, you can play the games in order and see who wins the bigger event called … The Colorympic Games.

REMARK! Can’t be printed double-sided, due to some things to cut out. This was one of the very first products we made and we hadn’t established our principle of making everything able to be printed double-sided by default (with some rather simple tricks in hindsight). Sorry!

Subject icon for mathematics

Subject: Mathematics

The curriculum is split into six main subjects that align with your typical school subjects.

This resource is part of the Mathematics subject. Below is a summary:

This subject teaches Mathematics from first principles to calculus. Level 1 explores the basic skills needed before you do any counting or see any numbers (such as grouping and comparing objects). Level 2(+) can then introduce numbers, counting, addition, multiplication, and more.

Faction icon for gamiverses

Faction: Gamiverses

This resource is part of the Gamiverses Faction.

But that's just one way to teach and explore its topic(s)!

You can always move to a different Faction to find a more effective way to teach the same topic.

Played a quiz? Try a game! Played a game? Try an escape room! And so on.

For example,

Charm: Boardgame Book

This product is part of the Boardgame Book charm.

Visit its main page to learn more about what that means. Below is a summary:

Boardgame Books are bundles where every page is a different board game to play. It’s similar to a puzzle book or busy book, but simply focused on games you play together with others (instead of a solo activity).

Spell: My First Colors

This resource is part of the My First Colors topic (or "spell").

To learn mathematics, you need to be able to identify, compare, and group things. Colors are the easiest way to do this, because they’re visual and all around you. Teaching about colors allows Apprentices to play games or do puzzles, as well as unlock their creativity by drawing.

We try to share the love and improve education, not be greedy goblins. That's why we share source files and link related work of others when possible. Check out the list below of what went into this project or what inspired it. If possible, support those people too!

LinkExplanation
Hues & CuesThis game directly inspired one of our games in this bundle. Our version is far simpler and more streamlined, and focuses more on educational value. If you enjoyed that one, try this bigger game that comes with a proper large color board!
PantoneThis game also inspired one of our games in this bundle. Try this one if you want big sturdy cards, and more guidance as to how to use them for your illustration.

Try another approach?

The Faction (or "product type") of this product is Gamiverses.

This approach might work for some Apprentices but not for others! That's why we recommend exploring each topic in a variety of ways.

Maybe a (different) game works better? Or a quiz, story, or escape room? Below are some random suggestions.
