The
Color Poem
(Let
the children act out this poem as you learn it together)
"If you're wearing RED,
pat your head.
If you're wearing BLUE, count
to two.
If you're wearing GREEN,
let your smile be seen.
If you're wearing BROWN,
hop up and down.
If you're wearing YELLOW,
jump like a funny fellow.
If you're wearing BLACK, pat your back."
The
Color Box
This
is a fun activity to help little ones learn their colors:
Materials
needed: medium size box, various colored items
When
I do this activity with our children, I make a label for our color box
and tape it to the box entitled "Our Color Box", but you can be as creative
as you want to be and let the children help you design a box in which they
will find and place various colored objects.
I
sit in a circle with our children and ask each child, one at a time to
find an object of a certain color and bring it to the color box. The only
limitations are that the child is to find an object that will fit in the
box and that the object contains the color which they have been directed
to find. This is a fun game that our children always enjoy participating
in. Be sure to praise and encourage your child as they search for
colorful objects for the color box. Have fun!
