Or try turning the card upside down! Then challenge the same or a different
reader. We had a shole wall painted with such coloured words, and not only
did it add attractive colours to the gallery, but was an interesting exhibit
as well. (not to mention low maintenance - yippee).

Then try this with kids who cannot read very well. Obviously these kids
should be better at this task than most good readers.

A favorite visual illusion of mine is to list 8 or 10 words on a large card
that are names for common colors. Red. Blue. Green. Yellow.
The should be printed vertically and in a "random" order.

Our brains have great difficulty processing this incongruity between word
name and word color. Try it!
Drop me a note if you would like further clarification, and good luck with
your show.
