G is for Green...and other colors!


A great day to explore the color green...by mixing yellow and blue!  We also explored all the colors of the rainbow!  Check out our repeated weekly songs here.

Songs/Rhymes/Fingerplays

G-R-E-E-N
(sung to Bingo)

I take some yellow, I take some blue
I mix them together to make something new
G-R-E-E-N
G-R-E-E-N
G-R-E-E-N
And green is that color!

I take some yellow, I take some blue
I mix them together to make something new
G-R-E-E-(clap)
G-R-E-E-(clap)
G-R-E-E-(clap)
And green is that color!

Continue taking one letter away until all letters are gone and you only clap.

Parachute Opposites
A colorful movement song!
(sung to: The Farmer in the Dell)

The parachute goes up
The parachute goes down
Up! Down! Up! Down!
The parachute goes up...and down!

The parachute goes left
The parachute goes right
Left! Right! Left! Right!
The parachute goes left...and right!

The parachute goes fast
The parachute goes slow
Fast! Slow! Fast! Slow!
The parachute goes fast...and slow!

The parachute goes in
The parachute goes out
In! Out! In! Out!
The parachute goes in...and out!

Repeat 1st verse and on the last UP have the kids run under the parachute and let it settle down on them!

Nursery Rhyme

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

What other color sheep could we ask to get wool from?
