THE COLOR FARM

This is a song your students will enjoy singing, but there are lots of standards “camouflaged” here. 
*This song reinforces the concept that when you put letters together you make a word.
*Children can learn to read the color words.
*More advanced children can learn to spell the color words.

The Color Farm
(Tune: “BINGO” - Sing to Learn CD)
There was a farmer had a cat
And Black was her name-o
B-L-A-C-K (Clap on each letter.)
B-L-A-C-K
B-L-A-C-K
And Black was her name-o.

Dog – BROWN
Cow – PURPLE
Horse – GREEN
Duck – ORANGE
Bird – BLUE

Write the color word and put a picture clue by it on a sentence strip. Pass these out for the children to hold up as you sing.


Cut a 7” circle out of the top of a file folder. Add ears, tails, and other features for each animal. Children hold it up around their face as you sing.
                                 
Make up additional verses for other colors. For example, a pink flamingo, tan turtle, grey goat, white sheep, etc.
