Learning Colors Together- Week 2

JPFRC team in partnership with Kids Up front Foundation presents video series. All of our activities and songs are related to colors and color mixing. To begin with, let’s do a fun activity.

Activity 1: What are Color patterns?

A pattern is a series of pictures or colors that repeats- same thing that keeps happening over and over. Take a look at the pattern below and see if you can find the missing color.

Red-red-blue-blue-red-red -blue -____

Red-red-yellow-yellow-red-_____-yellow-yellow

Green-yellow-purple-green-yellow-purple- green-______

Red- purple- yellow-red- _____-yellow-red-purple

The answers for the color patterns are in the video. You can also download the printable copy of the color patterns here.

Do you know there were three little mice who learnt about colors and color mixing? Are you ready to learn as well? For that, you should read the book ‘Mouse Paint’ with our program facilitator Lauren. Let’s read it together!

Lyrics of the rhymes in the video

I can sing a rainbow:
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too.
Listen with your eyes,
Listen with your eyes
Sing everything you see.
I can sing rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow with me.
Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow, sing a rainbow too.
Call the colors song
Red-red, touch your head
Blue-blue, tie your shoe
Brown-brown, touch the ground
White-white, take a bite
Black-black, touch your back
Purple-purple, draw a circle
Pink-pink, take a wink/blink
Grey-grey, shout hurray!
One little red fish
One little red fish swimming in the water,
swimming in the water, swimming in the water
One little red fish swimming in the water, bubble-bubble pop.

Two little blue fish swimming in the water,
swimming in the water, swimming in the water
Two little blue fish swimming in the water, bubble-bubble pop.
Three little green fish swimming in the water,
swimming in the water, swimming in the water
Three little green fish swimming in the water, bubble-bubble pop.
Four little yellow fish swimming in the water,
swimming in the water, swimming in the water
Four little yellow fish swimming in the water, bubble-bubble pop.
Laugh a little
Laugh a little- Laugh a little, ha-ha-ha
Sing a little- sing a little, la-la-la!
Clap a little- clap a little, clap-clap-clap
Dance a little- dance a little, tap-tap-tap
Spin a little- spin a little, round and round
Rest a little-rest a little, we all fall down.
Toe knee chest nut
Toe knee chest nut

Toe knee nose, toe knee nose….
Toe knee chest nut
nose eye love you
That’s what toe knee nose.
One little finger
One little finger

One little finger
