Intro Activity
-
Welcome & Introduction to the Rainbow:
-
Greet the students with excitement! Say something like, “Today, we’re going to explore all the colors of the rainbow! Who knows what colors are in the rainbow?”
-
Introduce the rainbow and show a colorful picture or use flashcards to explain that there are seven colors in the rainbow.
Introduce Rainbow Colors
-
Go over the seven rainbow colors one by one:
-
Red (like an apple),
-
Orange (like an orange),
-
Yellow (like the sun),
-
Green (like grass),
-
Blue (like the sky),
-
Indigo (a dark blue color),
-
Violet (like a purple flower).
-
Say the names slowly and clearly, and have the kids repeat after you.
-
Teach them the acronym VIBGYOR (Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red) to help them remember the order of colors in the rainbow.
Main Topic/ Activity - Rainbow Drawing Activity
Activity Setup:
-
-
Hand out A4 sheets and crayons/markers.
-
Ask the children to draw a rainbow on their paper. You can guide them to draw seven curved lines to represent the rainbow, each one a different color (in the correct VIBGYOR order).
-
Encourage them to color each section with the correct color while saying the color aloud (e.g., "Red! Orange! Yellow!").
-
Walk around and help them with color names if needed
-
Fun Tip: As the kids are drawing, tell them to think about things they know that are the colors of the rainbow (e.g., “What is something red? An apple! What is something yellow? A banana!”). This will connect colors to real-world objects.
2. Stand-Up, Sit-Down Game
Game Setup:
-
-
After everyone has finished drawing their rainbow, let’s get moving! Start by explaining the game to the kids:
-
-
“When I say ‘Stand up,’ you’ll stand up and stretch like you’re reaching for the rainbow. When I say ‘Sit down,’ you’ll sit down and relax, imagining you’re looking at the rainbow. Let’s play together!”
Game Play:
-
Play the game by saying “Stand up!” or “Sit down!” at random intervals.
-
Make sure to mix it up, and even let the kids say “Stand up” or “Sit down” to keep them involved.
-
This will refresh their minds, get them energized, and add a fun physical activity to the session.
Wrap-Up Activity
- Rainbow Song - Teach the kids a simple song about the rainbow to end the session on a fun note. For example:
Rainbow Song
“Red and orange, yellow too,
Green and blue, indigo too!
Violet, violet, colors bright,
The rainbow’s here, what a sight!”
As they sing, they can hold up the colors they have drawn on their rainbow pictures. This will help reinforce the colors.
2. Review & Reflection - Sit with the kids in a circle and ask them:
-
“What is your favorite rainbow color?”
-
“Can anyone tell me the order of the colors in the rainbow?” (Encourage them to say VIBGYOR aloud.)
Expected Learning Outcome: - Knowledge building-
∙ Students will recognize and name the seven colors of the rainbow.
∙ They will understand the order of the rainbow through the VIBGYOR acronym.
Skill Building-
-
Enhanced fine motor skills through drawing and coloring the rainbow.
-
Improved speaking and listening skills as they practice color names and order.
Confidence Building:
-
By engaging in the physical movement game and singing a song, students will gain confidence in speaking and using colors.
-
Students will feel proud of their artwork and share their drawings with the class.
Review Questions/Assessment/Tasks
Follow up Tasks
∙ Coloring the Rainbow at Home:
-
Encourage the children to continue practicing drawing and coloring rainbows at home using the colors they learned.
-
They can draw rainbows in their notebooks and use different objects at home to match colors (e.g., a red apple, a green plant).
Rainbow Hunt:
-
In the next session, plan a “Rainbow Hunt” where students can find objects around the room or outside that match the rainbow colors they’ve learned.
