Create a grid with an organized array, such as different shapes in different colors. Make five columns, each a different color, and five rows, each a different shape. The red column will have a red circle, a red triangle, a red square, a red rectangle and a red trapezoid. The other columns will have the same shapes, but in a different color. To play the game, a player covers one space on the grid and challenges the other player to figure out what color and shape is hidden. If the hidden space is in the blue column and the triangle row, for example, then it is a blue triangle. This can be done in small group.
