Color Game
If your clothes have any red, put your finger on your head
If your clothes have any blue, put your finger on your shoe
If your clothes have any green, wave your hand so that you're seen
If your clothes have any yellow, smile like a happy fellow
If your clothes have any black, put your hands behind your back
If your clothes have any white, stomp your feet with all your might
