Hue Knew is an enjoyable, multi-player game that uses colorful playing cards to improve attention, processing speed, and inhibition. Each player scans the card and tries to be the first to find the color name that is written in the matching color (e.g. the word "red" is written in the color red NOT written in the color blue). Each card will have two words written in matching colors (e.g. purple written in the color purple) and seven color words not written in matching colors (e.g. the word "brown" written in pink). The player will need to quickly grab a pawn that matches the color he found (grab a white pawn if you found a "white" match) and players get one point for every pawn they grab. Students must think before responding as they will lose a point for making a mistake but they must also take into account that speed matters. The game can be a great choice for students who need practice thinking and focusing before reacting, but could make anxious or slower students uncomfortable with the shouting and grabbing. The game is fast-paced and brief which is good for students who enjoy competition and have weaker attention skills.
