Good morning and welcome to story time. I’m Miss Sharon and today is all about COLORS!
Opening Song: The More We Get Together
The more we get together, together, together,
the more we get together, the happier we’ll be.
Cause your friends are my friends,
and my friends are your friends,
the more we get together the happier we’ll be!

Song: Colors We Know
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Red and orange, green and blue,
shiny yellow, purple too!
These are the colors that we know,
way up high in the great rainbow.
Red and orange, green and blue,
shiny yellow, purple too!

Fingerplay: Four Little Crayons
Four little crayons standing in a row (hold up 4 fingers)
The first one said, “I’m red, you know!” (wiggle each finger as you talk about it)
The second one said, “I’m green like a tree.”
The third one said, “I’m blue like the sea.”
The fourth one said, “I’m orange as the sun.”
The crayons all said, “Being crayons is fun!”
Four little crayons, happy as can be, (hold up 4 fingers)
Coloring pictures with you and me! (point to person and then self)

Flannelboard: Mary’s Many Color Lambs
Mary has a little blue lamb, little blue lamb, little blue lamb,
Mary has a little blue lamb, whose fleece is blue as sky…
Mary has a little green lamb, little green lamb, little green lamb.
Mary has a little green lamb whose fleece is green as grass.
Mary has a little red lamb, little red lamb, little red lamb.
Mary has a little red lamb whose fleece is red as strawberries.
Mary has a little yellow lamb, little yellow lamb, little yellow lamb.
Mary has a little yellow lamb whose fleece is yellow as the sun.
Mary has a little purple lamb, little purple lamb, little purple lamb
Mary has a little purple lamb, whose fleece is purple as…grapes!
Mary has a little pink lamb, little pink lamb, little pink lamb
Mary has a little pink lamb, whose fleece is pink as…bubblegum!
Mary has a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb,
Mary has a little lamb, whose fleece is white as snow.

Flannel: Butterfly Colors
The first to come to the garden bed
Is a lovely butterfly of brilliant RED.
Then in comes another and that makes two.
Fly right in, my friend of BLUE.
“The garden is fine, the best I’ve seen,”
says the butterfly of softest GREEN.
Our garden needs a sunny fellow,
Fly on in, butterfly with wings of YELLOW.
Little friend of PURPLE, fly in too.
The garden is waiting for a color like you.
ORANGE, orange, you’ve waited so long.
Fly right in, where you belong.
Butterflies, butterflies, you’re such a sight!
Flying together – what a delight!
