Planning for Learning through Colour

  • Tatiana Vhas quoted4 years ago
    Talk about opposites and the fact that black is the opposite of white. Play a game in which children are picked to do the opposite of what they are told.
  • Tatiana Vhas quoted4 years ago
    Read Elmer and Wilbur by David McKee. Talk about the colours on Elmer and Wilbur. Does Elmer have any black on him? How are the two elephants similar? How are they different?
  • Tatiana Vhas quoted4 years ago
    Begin a big book colour dictionary
  • Tatiana Vhas quoted4 years ago
    talk about how to cross roads safely and the importance of using zebra crossings where available.
  • Tatiana Vhas quoted4 years ago
    Show children a piece of paper with a small spot of ink on it. Ask them what they see. Most are likely to tell you that they see a spot and not mention the rest of the paper. Talk about the importance of not only noticing when things are wrong.
  • Tatiana Vhas quoted4 years ago
    colour detecting walk. Before leaving, talk about the importance of listening to instructions and staying together. Help children to notice that there is variation in the shades and tones of a particular colour. Explain that this week they will be focusing on black and white. How many things can they find that are just black or white?

    is important to appreciate that the ideas presented in this book will only be a part of your planning. Many activities that will be taking place as routine in your group may not be mentioned. For example, it is assumed that sand, dough, water, puzzles, floor toys and large scale apparatus are part of the ongoing pre-school experience. Role play areas, stories, rhymes and singing, and group discussion times are similarly assumed to be happening each week although they may not be a focus for described activities. Groups should also ensure that there is a balance of adult-led and child-initiated activities.
