The Color Correspondence Game

Let's face it, raising little witchlets is not an easy
job. Teaching them their alphabet, colors, and numbers
can seem to be a daunting task in itself let alone
trying to ply them with the volumes of knowledge about
our pagan beliefs. But there are ways to combine fun
and learning, bringing together both our spirituality
and basic skills. My favorite game to play with my
daughter is the color correspondence game.

It's is fun and easy and it teaches children their
colors along with the with the magickal
correspondences. Here is how to play:

Tools


1 large piece of poster board
Markers in the following colors:
Red
Orange
Yellow
Green
Blue
Purple
White
Silver
Gold
Black
(Others can be used if you are feeling adventurous and
you know the
correct correspondences.)
And the following poem:

Red is the color of power and love,
Orange is the color of energy from above,
Yellow is the color of our bright minds,
Green is harmony our heart finds,
Blue makes us serene and mild,
Purple is the spirit within you, child.
White is pure as the morning light,
Silver is peaceful like the full moon bright.
Gold is the power of the body and mind,
Black is the banisher of bad things we find.

On the poster board draw pictures using only one color
for each
picture ( we used pentagrams when my daughter was
younger and now I let her draw the pictures.) Then say
the rhyme while pointing to each individual color. In
no time, your child will know their basic colors and
the magickal correspondences of each.

Feel free to add things to the game or use it in
different contexts.
I have used this game to teach my daughter numerous
things including the runes and tree magick. Most
importantly, have fun with your little witchlet!!!
