Braille Badge: Cut out a rectangular sheet of card for each Rainbow. Put dots on the back of the card that will form the child's name in Braille. Give each Rainbow a piece of blue tac to push into and a drawing pin. The Rainbows then punch through the dots. Stick a safety pin onto the back of the card.

You can discover the Braille Alphabet at sites such as this. Remember - you need to reverse the dots in order for the name to read correctly on the other side!

What's in the bag?: Split the Rainbow into two teams. An adult should sit with each team to write things down. One child from each team feels inside a pillow case. When they find an object they try to work out what it is, running back to their adult to note it down. After each child has had two or three turns stop the game. Find out which team guessed the most objects correctly. Try to include objects the children will be familiar with, and make sure they know there is nothing nasty inside the bag. Many of the things I chose to use were toys with distinctive shapes.

Sign Language Colours: Assign an action to several colours (e.g. gold = be a twinkling star, red = freeze, green = be a tree, orange = crouch down, blue = run to one side of the hall, purple = run to the other side of the hall). To start with call out the actions for the Rainbows to respond to. When they have got the hang of this, teach them the sign for each colour. Play the game again, but this time use only the sign. After the game you could ask them which was the easier way to play the game and whether anyone had any trouble when you signed (e.g. someone was standing in the way so you couldn't see me)? You can find some of the colours on this site.
