Rhymes and Fingerplays

 “Red, Red”Red, red is the color I see
If you’re wearing red, then show it to me.
Stand up, take a bow, turn around
Show me your red and sit back on the ground.
// Repeat with other colors.

Color Game
If your clothes have any red
Put your finger on your head

If your clothes have any blue
Put  your finger on your shoe

If your clothes have any green
Wave your hand so that you’re seen

If your clothes have any yellow
Smile like a happy fellow

If your clothes have any brown
Turn that smile into a frown

If your clothes have any black
Put your hands behind your back

If your clothes have any white
Stamp your feet with all your might
