  Incorporating academic lessons into fun activities allows young children to acquire important skills and show off what they have learned. Young children can build their confidence as they show parents and caregivers what they know. Colors are an easy way to engage students and organize objects and ideas. The color pink lends itself to a variety of activities that can be used to teach the color and other concepts, such as reading and math.
  
  

Pink Collage

• The color pink may come in a variety of shades. Ask children to bring in samples of the color pink from home. These may be magazine pictures, wrapping paper, a piece of fabric or anything else they might find. When the children arrive at school, have each of them glue their sample to a large piece of poster board. Later in the day after the paint has dried, hold the poster board up in front of the room. Ask the children what differences they see in the items. Ask them what they see that is the same. Write the word pink on the poster board and spell it out loud. Ask the children to repeat the letters with you.
  
  

Pink Treasure Hunt

• Create a master worksheet by drawing eight circles on a sheet of paper, four on each side. Label the front side of the worksheet "Pink, the Color." Label the back side "Pink, the Word." Make copies of the worksheet so that each child has one. Designate an area for the treasure hunt to take place, like a classroom or a playground. Look around the area and make sure there are enough objects for the children to find. Each child should look for objects that are the color pink. When they find an object, they should write it in one of the circles on the front side. The children should also look for words that start with the letters P, I, N or K. As they find an object that starts with each letter, they should write it in one of the circles on the back side. After everyone has filled in their worksheet, they can compare their answers.
  
  

Pink Graph

• Collect ten different pink objects. These can be food, toys or other objects that come to mind. Draw a graph on the board with the number of children on one line and list the individual objects along the other line. Hold up each object and ask the children to hold up their hand if they like that object. Graph the results as you ask each question. Discuss the results after the graph is finished. Explain that a graph can show which objects are liked by more people.
