LKG Lesson Plan: Colors

LKG Lesson Plan: Colors

To teach colors, start by finding one prevalent on the clothing or classroom material. State the word simply, pointing to each example. Also ask each kid to repeat the word to ensure they are enunciating it correctly.

After one month of teaching colors, the kids can now successfully answer, “what color is your shirt/pants/this sign/door?” (note: when asking, point to shirts, pants and objects in question).

I also use two videos with catchy songs and cartoons:

Marker exercise: Another color lesson entails packs of markers. I bought a pack of 40, and I now brand them as “color sticks.” I may give one kid 5 markers, and then ask, “give me the green marker. Green.” I also make a give motion. I also hold up 5 different colors and ask the kids to take the correct color. For advanced kids, I may ask them to take “red, green, and blue.” I also introduce the word or by stating, “please take yellow or blue.”

Positive reinforcement: If a child is touching the wrong color, I state, “that’s yellow…. That color is blue…. This one is green! Good! Give me the green marker.”
