Teaching Triplets Tuesday: The Color Yellow


Last week we continued our unit on colors with yellow.  We continued this lesson in the same way as our red and blue lesson, only this time we changed one of the activities (Jenya will no longer allow us to tear constructions paper because of the mess).  I know a lot of this is very repetitive, but kids of this age learn by repetition.  So here was our lesson about the color yellow:


Songs and Videos:

Activities:
1) Our first activity was flash cards.  I took six pieces of constructionpaper; red, yellow, blue, orange, green, and purple.  I taught the kids red and then placed all the pieces of paper on the floor and asked "Which is yellow?"

2)  I choose four red balls from the ball pit and one yellow ball from the ball pit and had the kids pick out the yellow ball, asking, "Which ball is yellow?"

3) Yellow ball bath:  I took all of the yellow balls out of the ball pit and threw them in the tub for the triplets' bath.   Again, this reinforces our lesson about yellow and also helps them with their motor skills.
