A song for the younger members
ACTIONS: simple actions are best, pointing in the directions given in the song – behind you, in front, to the left, right – all about you. Rainbows can be simply arching the arms over the head, animal noises approapriate to the animals named, hopping for the kangaroo, and simply pointing to the various objects named.
ART: using colours and experimenting with mixing – ie red and blue to create a variety of purples; yellow and blue to create a variety of greens; et al and using these to paint scenes from the song
Science: Prisms and refracting light to create a rainbow effect
Song Lyrics:
The Colours Song
Chorus
There are colours behind you
Colours in front of you
Colours to the left of you
And colours to the right
There are colours all about you
Every single day
Even a rainbow in the sun’s rays
Verse 1
There are colours in balloons
Colours in the moon
Colours in a rainbow too!
There is blue in the sky
Green in the grass
And colourful tigers in the ZOO! – CH
Verse 2
There’s colours in a sunrise
Colours in a sun set
Colours in me and you!
There’s red on a fire engine
Yellow in the sun
And brown on a kangaroo! – CH
