“Colors for Kids - Colors Songs for Kids - Educational Video to Learn Colors”

This youtube video gives the children more visual learning of colors incorporating songs to help children make
connections with the color name and what the color actually looks like not just hearing the name and being able to
repeat the name. Some children can remember names but cannot connect the name with the actual colored object. The
video shows the color as a crayon repeats the name then shows other objects that are the same color.
Differentiated Instructional Support: Describe how instruction can be differentiated (changed or altered) to meet the
needs of gifted or accelerated students:
This activity can be altered for gifted children by making the children do one color at a time instead of at random or have
the also count how many objects are in each bowl at the end and write them on or under the bowls.

Discuss additional activities you could do to meet the needs of students who might be struggling with the material:
The material can be changed so that each jar os the color that is wrote on the jar to help children who are struggling to
read or differentiate each part. Also that can have the objects more spread out before organizing to avoid clusters and
less pressure.

color wheel- show students a color wheel and explain primary and secondary colors.
