This is a great song for learning about colors and for building rhyme recognition, an important skill for pre-readers (read more about phonological awareness here). Use this song during large group, music and movement time, or just as a filler during a transition. The little ones love it! Eventually, they’ll be ready to be the ones giving the clues!
Tune: Five Little Ducks (You know, “…but the one little duck with the feather on his back….”)
So many crayons in the box for you,
Red ones, yellow ones, blue ones too. (You’re welcome to change up the colors)
But the one little color that rhymes with (head)
It’s my favorite color, it’s the color….(red!)
(Hesitate at the end so the kiddos can fill in with the mystery color!)
