Song Notes:

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
