Start Your Circle Time with this Fun Colour Song

Every morning at circle time, we do a quick fingerplay and then enter into a Good Morning Song.   I have a few favourites, but I do like to switch things up regularly.  Variety is good!

One great way to start our circles is with a colour song.  I pick a colour that each student is wearing and then move my way one by one through the class.  

The tune for this song is "The Colour I See."

The words go like this (depending, of course, on what colour each student is wearing): 

Red, red is the colour I see

If you're wearing red please show it to me.

Stand up and turn around.

Show me your red, then sit back down.

Green, green is the colour I see

If you're wearing green please show it to me.

Stand up and turn around.

Show me your red and then sit down.

etc.

To turn this song into a game, you could also hand out 4 colours of paper to the class.  To make the game more challenging for older students, choose colours that you think they are less familiar with - grey, silver, gold, etc. 

Tell the children that when you sing about the colour they are holding, they can stand up and turn around.
