Red and orange,
Yellow, green, blue,
Purple, brown, and pink and gray--
Pretty colors are all around me,
And I know each one by name!

Teaching Tips:

• Begin by singing slowly. Show flashcard to match each color.
  
  
• Choose individual students who are mastering song to show flashcards.
  
  
• Give each student a flashcard. Student must stand when class sings color of his or her card.
  
  
• Place all flashcards on board. Ask various students to touch each color in the order the class sings them.
  
  
• Ask students stand each time the class sings a color they are wearing and to sit each time the class sings a color they are not wearing.
  
  
• Ask students to touch another student wearing the color being sung.
  
  
• Allow students to make color flashcards using crayons or paints and index cards. All students should show correct color when word is sung.
  
  
• Ask students to touch classroom objects that are the color being sung.
