This is a good one for teaching the names of colors to young children.

Arrange various colors of construction paper in a circle.

Play some music and have the children march around the circle.

Stop the music and all the children must sit down next to a color.

Pick a color and sing (to the tune of "Twinkle LittleStar"): "Who's beside the color (insert name of color)? Please stand up, if it's you."

At that point, the child next to the color mentioned stands up.

Continue until all of the children get a turn.
