Our plan for today!
''Dear parents & children,
Today is the last lesson about colors, so we are going to revise, learn the rest of them and do some mixing to create colors.''
Subject: Color mixing
Key terms: black, gray, white, brown, mix
Materials and preparation: computer/tablet, lego duplo, printer, colorful pom poms, tempera paints, white paper/cardboard, flashcards, tods/spoon (optional), egg case/muffin tray, brushes or ear cleaners
Learning objectives: Introduce the colors black, white, gray and brown, mix them up and create lighter and darker colors.
➤Introduction
To begin with, we are going to use the flashcards introducing the new colors: black, white, brown, gray. Please keep the cards in your hands, show one by one all the colors and ask each time
what is the color. Give the card with the color every time they answer correctly. Like this you can
check which colors they know, reward them for the right answer, support and help them for the
wrong one, it’s ok.
➤Action game
We continue with the flashcards. Ask your children to lay all
the colors on the floor. You have to call one color at the time and they have to touch the right card.
After that, they have to take the card, find an object or a place in the house with the same color
and place it there. So now you have a matching activity. Meanwhile, you can work on some
vocabulary by naming the objects they leave the card on, like brown door, yellow lemon, etc.
Be careful not to overload your kids with information.
*Note: You and your child can create your own moves for color black, white, gray and brown because they are not included. Use your imagination! Have fun!

Get ready to sing and dance! You can watch or listen to this music video and follow

Lyrics:
-Wave your arms if you like red, red, red, red!
-Stomp your feet if you like yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow!
-Clap your hands if you like pink, pink, pink, pink!
-Shake your body if you like green, green. green, green!
-Play guitar if you like purple, purple, purple, purple!
-Spin around if you like orange, orange, orange, orange!-Jump up & down if you like blue, blue, blue, blue!
➤Fine motor activity
I hope that you all have some colorful pom poms at home. This activity is about color
sorting. Put all the pom poms in a bowl/box and give your child a spoon or a safe tool
like tongs to grab the pom poms. They will love it. You also need a muffin tray or an egg
case and color each egg place with different color. Use markers, temperas, even colored
stickers if you have. The kids have to transfer successfully the pom poms in the right place.
*Note: If you don’t have pom poms, you can use lego bricks the same way or colored crepe paper balls.
➤Lego constructions
All you need is lego bricks and your creativity to make color pattern so the kids can follow
the sequence. They have to follow the pattern of the colors and place the right brick.
⇛First of all, let’s warm up by building simple towers by color-red tower, yellow, blue, etc.
Now you can continue gradually with 3-4 bricks combinations and use more later. You can put
them in a line or one on top of the other. The combinations are numerous. Instead of lego bricks
I’m using below hearts just to show you.
Example 1.💙💚💙💚💙_ What color comes after? Find the right brick. Make clear to the children
what they have to do. You can make the sequence as long as you want.

Example2.
Put many colours and ask your child to repeat the same tower.

↠It is a very good activity to develop their eye perception and coordination skills.
➤Arts & Crafts
It is time for some mixing! Use an A4 page and draw some circles like this O + O= O. Use tempera paints, one color in the first circle, another one in the second and both of
them in the third. Otherwise, you can just mix them together in the middle of the 2 circles. You can use small brushes or ear cleaners for fun (they are small and soft to use)!
💥Note: Do not forget to highlight the mixing with white and black! Ask you children what
they think it’s going to happen if they mix a color with white and what is going to happen if
they mix it with black. Then, prove them how the colors are becoming lighter by adding white and darker by adding black. Use a few colors to test it.
⤿ Let the children use all of these new colors that you have created and paint a freestyle picture to express themselves.
''I hope you liked the color project! See you soon with a new one!''
