# Color-Learning Card Games The Color Countdown is Designed by Students at The Piggott School By Amy Duong | Published 2024-05-09 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colour-countdown References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2024/05/08/design-ventura-colour-countdown-card-game/) & [piggottschool.org](https://www.piggottschool.org/)  The Colour Countdown game is designed by a group of students at the Piggott School in Reading, England. They are the winners of the [Design Ventury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/powerhouse-company) competition hosted by the [Design Museum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/world-of-tim-burton). It is a card game that aids children in learning more about colors from their surroundings. The competition asked students aged 13 to 16 to create a product that would be sold at the Design Museum gift shop. It is based on two [classic card games: Uno](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uno-elite-formula-1) and I Spy. The students explain in their pitch to a judging panel, stating "You can play anywhere at all. You draw cards of different colours – red, blue, orange, green etc. – and you have to look around and find objects in that colour."
