Contact_FullName: chris Contact_Email: Crazyboutkitties@aol.com date:: 9/21/01 Area: Music Idea: I work with older twos and they learn their colors or to say them by this song! We sing it three-four times a day and often i heard them sing it on their own. It goes in the tune of twinkle twinkle little star "Red and orange green and blue shiny yellow purple too! These are the colors that we know, way up high in the great rainbow"
10-2-00For our Colors unit we sing: Red, red is the color I see. If you are wearing red then show it to me. Stand up, turn around. Show me your red then sit back down. Then replace red with the other colors. It's easy and fun.
10-2-00My Pre-k class had a blast saying this little verse. They really get into the beat when you snap your fingers along with it. Draw and color a picture of a cat for each of the following colors: green, blue, red, yellow, orange Tell the following story: Scat the Cat Scat the cat was a black cat. Everyone in his family was black. But Scat the Cat was tired of being like everyone else. So he said (snap fingers) "I'm Scat the Cat I'm Sassy and Fat I change my colors just like that." So Scat the cat changed into a (name of color). He was as (green as the grass; blue as the sky, red as an apple, yellow as a lemon, orange as an orange,). Scat the Cat enjoyed being a (name of color) for a few days. But then he got tired. So he said: (Repeat Scat the Cat Verse) *After naming last color: Well Scat the Cat had changed his colors many times. He found out that it wasn't so bad being a black cat. So he said, (Repeat verse)

6-16-00I know my colors for painting fun
5-31-00Red Food (tune I've been working on the railroad) Red is the color for
an apple to eat.
5-3-00Instead of the song: Yellow is the color of my true love's hair, I let the children pick a color and tell me what is that color. For instance: Blue is the color of the sky, in the morning when we rise, in the morning when we rise, That's the time, that's the time, I love the best, and so on.
4-18-00A poem that I made up and use to line my 3/4 year old class up. First I say, "When I call you, line up." Then I recite the following poem that I made up: "If you have on red then you heard what I said" (you heard me say
line up) I've been using this rhyme with my classes for a number of months now and it has really helped the children learn their colors!

Date: 3-30-00I Can Sing A Rainbow Red and orange and yellow and green Blue and purple too.... I can sing a rainbow. .l Sing a rainbow... And so can you. I Can Dance A Rainbow... (Choose six children to come to the center of your circle and pick a rainbow scarf....I use The World Is A Rainbow by Steve and Greg for the music....These children dance their rainbow...then put the scarves down and you can choose six more children. (Reminder...Don't force a child to do this...Only if they want
to....Observation is participation and they will do it when they are
ready.)
2-16-00The Rainbow Song (tune: Twinkle...) Red and orange, green and blue, shiny yellow, purple too. All the colors that we know, live up in the rainbow. Red and orange, green and blue, shiny yellow, purple too. We have turned this song into a class book, using construction paper of the appropriate color for each page. For the page for all the colors, we draw little squares of each color, and a rainbow on the rainbow page.
Date: 1-12-00Crazy Color Creatures In advance, make a creature out of the colors; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, and brown. (I used characters from Halloween clip-art and just added my own touches). Teach the children the following song to help them memorize the colors - ***they love the song so much that I can't get them to stop singing it. Red, Red, lost his head, Red, red, lost his head, Red, red, lost his head, Crazy color creatures. Orange, orange, ate an orange, orange, orange, ate an orange, orange, orange, ate an orange, Crazy color creatures Yellow sat in Jell-O. Green was a dancing Queen. Blue had the flu. Purple likes to slurple. Black plays quarter back. Browns pants fell down. Children may color in your creations or their own (one color for each page). Make a "Crazy Color Creature" book. Date: 1-12-00Black Clouds Discuss with the class the safety measures that should be taken when black clouds are seen and thunderstorms are near. Sing: Tune: Yankee Doodle Black clouds gather in the sky, Soon it's going to storm. Lightning, thunder, run inside, And we'll be safe and warm.
ideaWith the song, Sing a rainbow, sit in a circle with the children. Hold a box with all the colors of the rainbow tied together( two scarves of each color might be needed if the circle is large). When each color is sung, bring out the scarf chain, and as each new color is brought out of the rainbow box, the children move the scarf chain to the child beside them. When the song is finished, each child will be holding part of the scarf chain, the rainbow. The song's words are: Red, and yellow, and pink and green, purple and orange and blue. I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too. Date: 11-27-99ideaMy kids love to do the Hokey Pokey so I altered the song for colors. I purchased color coded labels ( they are little circles) and put a different color on each hand and foot and other body parts. The package only comes with four colors, but the yellow can be colored with marker to make more. Then we did the Color Pokey. You put red in and take red out You put red in and you shake it all about..... The kids loved it!!!!! 8-27-99 Date: 12-29-98Red Song R-E-D, red, R-E-D, red. I can spell red. I can spell red. Fire trucks are red. Stop signs are red too. R-E-D. R-E-D. Have a big stop sign and a big fire truck drawn so the kids can hold them up when the class sings about the objects. 10-22-98 Name: Amber 10-21-98 Name: Cheryl 10-21-98 Name: Maureen I wear a yellow raincoat, to cover up my clothes. Prepare visual aids for raincoat, rubbers, umbrella and splashes. Children enjoy helping to tell the story. |
