Quite a few hyperlexic kids have colors as a special interest when they're toddlers and preschoolers. And like these other more common hyperlexic interests, this interest can become quite intense.
But hyperlexic learners also need support in other areas, such as language. Particularly, conversation skills and asking and answering questions.
So this I have who has colors game is a perfect way to practice a wide variety of skills, including those language skills, while also leaning into their interest in colors.
About this I Have Who Has Colors Game
This colors game comes with 15 cards total (a couple of cards are interchangeable for gray/grey) so you can practice conversation skills, asking and answering questions, and colors.
Each card features a colored circle (or a rainbow if they are the first or last cards) with a "I have..." statement and a "Who has..." question. The cards are intentionally kept simple in design so that they're less visually distracting and less overwhelming.
Since hyperlexic kids can read, the text is easy for them to handle. It's actually a perfect written script for them to use. After all, hyperlexic kids find written scripts super helpful!
For kids who can't yet read, they can definitely memorize the pattern of the text since it always follow the same format of I have, who has? You just might have to teach them the format of the question and answer style required to play.
How to Play this Colors I Have Who Has Game
This game can be played with two players or a small group.
To play, shuffle and deal out all of the cards to all players.
Whoever has the card that says "I have the first card" goes first. They read what it says on their card, which in this case is, "Who has red?"
The player who has the red card then reads what's on their card.
Then the game continues on and on until you've gone through all of the included colors.
The game ends when the person with the last card reads, "I have the last card."
