All the Colours of the Rainbow
Colour Song
|
This activity allows young learners to learn the colors while singing a song to the tune of Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes |
- Here is what you do.
-
1. Make a large poster with a series of squares featuring the colours you want your students to learn.
2. Start by teaching the colours by pointing to the square that represents the color. When the class has learned the colors, move on to the next part if the activity.
3. Teach students the tune to Head and Shoulders, Knees, and Toes. Tell them they are going to sing the song using the colours on the poster. Sing the song has you point to the colours on the poster. It would go something like this depending on how you have arranged the colours on the poster.
Red and yellow, green and blue
Green and blue
Red and yellow green and blue
Green and blue
And pink and purple and orange and brown
Red and yellow, green and blue
Green and blue.4. Once students have learned the song, sing the song whilst pointing to the colours randomly. This keeps students on their toes and gives you added lively practice time with the colours.
5. Let some of the students point out the colours in the order they are to be sung.
