Color Green Lesson Plan, Photo by Pink Sherbert Photography
Enjoy this simple preschool lesson plan about the color green. The activities below will introduce children to the color green through fun facts, activities, books, songs, and a game. This lesson plan works well in conjunction with a daycare center unit theme about colors or St. Patrick’s Day.
Green Math Activity
In this simple math activity, children will sort the frogs by color. Create frog shapes in three different shades of green felt. Divide a felt board into three areas and place the one of three different frogs in each area. Next encourage the children to take turns sorting the frogs, placing them the correct areas.
Green Collage Craft
Each student should bring in one green item from home. As well, have some green items on hand such as fabric scraps, yarn, buttons, tissue paper, cotton balls, confetti, glitter, wallpaper, or wrapping paper. Have each child present their green item and then glue the green items to create a collage. Add green embellishments of your choice.
Green Music and Movement
Teach the children the song “Green” Sung to the tune of “B-I-N-G-O”
“There is a color we all know
Can you guess what it is?
G-R-E-E-N
G-R-E-E-N
G-R-E-E-N
Green is what that spells.
The grass and leaves outside
Are green as green as they can be.
G-R-E-E-N
G-R-E-E-N
G-R-E-E-N
Green is what that spells”.
Green Snack
Encourage each child to bring in green snacks and have a green snack party. Some food choices include: Grape apples, spinach pasta with pesto sauce, spinach dip, cupcakes with green frosting, green grapes (sliced), avocado, guacamole (sliced), green jello, kiwis, and mint ice cream.
