Colors, April 14th and 15th, 2010

Start by singing Raffi's Shake Your Sillies Out.

Book: Brown Bear, Brown Bear by Eric Carle

Rhyme Scat the Cat
I'm scat the cat,
I'm sassy and I'm and fat
and I change my colors just like that! (clap)

Each time the kids clap their hands Scat changes his colors. Scat is a cat drawn on a transparency, the transparency is then inset on a manilla envelope. The envelope is full of colored paper. As each sheet of paper is removed Scat changes color.

Book: Lunch by Denise Fleming

Song: If Your Clothes Have Any...
Sung to the tune of If You're Happy and You Know It
If your clothes have any red clap your hands....
If your clothes have any green jump up and down....
Etc..

Book: Dog's Colorful Day by Emma Dodd
We used a dog puppet with this book and added colored spot each time dog gained another spot. Then when had the kids count each spot. Super fun, this was our best book!

Song: Colors by Hap Palmer from Learning Basic Skills through Music. Volume 1

Book: Duckie's Rainbow by Frances Barry

Final Activity: Color Song from Parachute Express
We handed out colored streamers and danced to the music.
