For this game, you will need two dice; one with colors and one with numbers. You will only need 6 different colors. Draw an outline of a picture or use a printable sheet. Label each section with numbers 1-6. Roll the number die first. Roll the color die second and match the color to the numbered sections on the image. Color those sections in. Repeat until the whole picture is complete.
