Learning colors together- Week 1

Jasper Place Family Resource Centre in partnership with Kids Up Front Foundation presents the video series

In this video, our program facilitator Andrea is helping us explore primary colors by sharing a color finding activity. To begin with let’s find anything that is red, yellow or blue. Yes, that’s right. These three colors are the primary colors in the color wheel. What happens when we mix these colors? To know about that, we should read the book ‘Mixed‘ by Arree Chung together. Are you ready?

Let’s mix colors 
red + yellow = orange 
red + blue = purple 
blue + yellow = green

Lyrics of the rhymes in the video

  1. If you are wearing something blue, clap your hands

    If you are wearing something blue, clap your hands 
    If you are wearing something blue, clap your hands 
    If you are wearing something blue, then stomp your feet too 
    If you are wearing something blue, clap your hands 

    If you are wearing something yellow, clap your hands 
    If you are wearing something yellow, clap your hands 
    If you are wearing something yellow, then stomp your feet too 
    If you are wearing something yellow, clap your hands 

    If you are wearing something red, clap your hands 
    If you are wearing something red, clap your hands 
    If you are wearing something red, then stomp your feet too 
    If you are wearing something red, clap your hands 

  2. 5 yellow polka dots

    5 yellow polka dots, laying on the floor 
    one sat up and then there were four 

    4 blue polka dots, smiling at me 
    one tipped over and there were three 

    3 red polka dots, sitting on the floor 
    one fell down and there were two 

    2 green polka dots, went out for some fun 
    one was soon out of breath and then there was one 

    1 orange polka dot rolled out the door 
    when it was gone, then there were no more.

  3. Red and orange, green and blue (Tune: Twinkle, twinkle little star) 

    Red and orange, green and blue 
    shiny yellow, purple too 
    All the colors that we know 
    Live up in a rainbow 
    Red and orange, green and blue 
    shiny yellow, purple too

  4. 5 little crayons

    Five little crayons colored a scene  
    Yellow, blue, orange, red and green.  
    “Look”, said yellow, “My sun is bright!” 
    Blue said, “Great! My river is just right!” 
    Orange said, “Flowers! I draw something new.”  
    Red said, “Great, I ‘ll add some, too!”  
    “Sigh”, said green, “I am tired of trees.  
    And grass and bushes and tiny leaves. 
    I think I’ll draw a big green cloud!”  
    “A big green cloud should be allowed!” 
    The crayons all smiled and didn’t think twice 
    A big green cloud sounded rather nice!

  5. Five Green and Speckled Frogs

    Five green and speckled frogs, 
    Sat on a speckled log, 
    Eating some most delicious bugs. 
    Yum! Yum! 
    One jumped into the pool, 
    Where it was nice and cool, 
    Then there were four green, speckled frogs! Glub! Glub!

  6. Baa Baa Black Sheep

    Baa baa black sheep, 
    Have you any wool? 
    Yes sir, yes sir, 
    Three bags full. 
    One for the master, 
    One for the dame, 
    And one for the little boy 
    Who lives down the lane.

  7. 5 red lady bugs

    5 red lady bugs, climbing up a door 
    one flew away and then there were four 

    4 red lady bugs, sitting on a tree 
    one flew away and then there were three 

    3 red lady bugs, landed on a shoe 
    one flew away and then there were two 

    2 red lady bugs, looking for some fun 
    one flew away and then there were one 

    1 red lady bug, sitting in the sun 
    one flew away and then there were none
