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
- 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 handsIf 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 handsIf 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 - 5 yellow polka dots
5 yellow polka dots, laying on the floor
one sat up and then there were four4 blue polka dots, smiling at me
one tipped over and there were three3 red polka dots, sitting on the floor
one fell down and there were two2 green polka dots, went out for some fun
one was soon out of breath and then there was one1 orange polka dot rolled out the door
when it was gone, then there were no more. Red and orange, green and blue (Tune: Twinkle, twinkle little star)

All the colors that we know
Live up in a rainbow
Red and orange, green and blue
shiny yellow, purple too5 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!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!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.5 red lady bugs
