Pink
Pink skies
and butterflies
are truly a
sight to see,
But pink-eye
infection would
be no fun
for me.
Grapefruit pulp,
the salmon's flesh,
carnations
in a vase,
Pink elephant
nightmares
with candy
as the cause.
Stop and think
about the pink
that's everyday
around you,
Ballerina sister,
a bouncing twister,
around the house
in her tutu.
-James Hörner
Green
Green is the grass
and the watermelon skin,
fourth colour in the rainbow,
the emeralds in a ring.
Bright green apples
are bitter to the tongue,
but spinach and broccoli-
I eat them up yum!
Green mold is medicine
known as penicillin,
and water fights with
green balloons sure are thrillin'.
Green means go
when driving, beep! beep!
and green lily pads
are where the frogs sleep.
For flowers and trees,
and the prickly cactus too-
green is important,
as it is for me and you.
-James Hörner
Red
The fireman's hat
is too big for my head,
so I wear a red bucket
when playing, instead.
Red ruby treasure
on Valentine's Day,
with imagination
it's "Pirates" we play.
Your nose turns red
when it's cold outside,
and sometimes too
when you're sad inside.
Some girls wear red ribbons,
bows tied in their hair,
while eating red berries
is the big, black bear.
Hearts are red on cards,
and also in your chest,
red is the colour
that I like best.
-James Hörner
What Colours do I See?
See, see, see!
What colours do I see?
Purple plums,
Red tomatoes,
Yellow corn,
Brown potatoes,
Green lettuce!
Yum, yum, yum, good!
I learn so many colours,
When I eat my food.
Green Giant
There lived a green giant whose name was Sam.
His hair was the colour of strawberry jam.
He had one brown and one blue eye,
And a beard the colour of pumpkin pie.
His coat and pants were gay and bright,
Like a peppermint stick, all red and white.
His shoes were as brown as a chocolate drop.
His stockings were yellow as lemon pop.
His hat was the colour of ginger bread
With a tall, tall feather of raspberry red.
Pink skies

But pink-eye
infection would
be no fun

RIDDLES
Orange, violet, yellow
Blue, red and indigo
What’s the missing color
That is in a rainbow
Green
Some say you are this color
When you are feeling down
Your eyes might be this color
If they’re not green or brown
Blue
Lipstick is this color
And ladybugs in part
And on Valentine’s Day
Some roses and a heart
Red
A rubber ducky and egg yolk
A banana and some cheese
A sunflower and a lemon
What’s the color of all these?
Yellow
This is a fruit that
You might be fed
You just need to mix
Yellow and red
Orange
Blue, red and indigo
What’s the missing color
That is in a rainbow
Green
Some say you are this color
When you are feeling down
Your eyes might be this color
If they’re not green or brown
Blue
Lipstick is this color
And ladybugs in part
And on Valentine’s Day
Some roses and a heart
Red
A rubber ducky and egg yolk
A banana and some cheese
A sunflower and a lemon
What’s the color of all these?
Yellow
This is a fruit that
You might be fed
You just need to mix
Yellow and red

FINGERPLAYS
Color Hokey-Pokey
You put blue in,
You take blue out.
You put blue in
And you shake it all about.
You do the hokey-pokey and you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!
Repeat, naming a different color each time.
If Your Clothes Have any Red
If your clothes have any red, any red
If your clothes have any red, and red
If your clothes have any red, put your finger on your head,
If your clothes have any red, any red
If your clothes have any blue, any blue
If your clothes have any blue, any blue
If your clothes have any blue, put your finger on your head,
If your clothes have any blue, any blue

She stands in the barnyard by a big hay stack.
This little hen is RED (hold up red hens)
She is very tired and won't get out of bed.
This little hen is BROWN (hold up brown hens)
She is feeling sad and wearing a frown.
This little hen is YELLOW (hold up yellow hens)
She's friends with the rooster; he's a handsome fellow.
This little hen is WHITE (hold up white hen)
She dance's and plays, oh what a sight.

She spends her day running around in circles.

She is the silliest hen I've ever seen.

You take blue out.

And you shake it all about.
You do the hokey-pokey and you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about!
Repeat, naming a different color each time.

If your clothes have any blue, put your finger on your head,
