Colored Buckets
Vocabulary
Red, Blue, Yellow, Same, Different
The Magic Bag Hook (10 mins)
1. Hold up a colorful, mysterious bag. "What is in Lenny's Magic Bag today?"
2. Pull out one item at a time (e.g., a red apple, a red car, a red block). As you pull each out, say the color loudly: "Red! This is red."
3. Ask students: "Can you find something red on your shirt?" or "Point to something red in the room!"
Color Sorting Game (15 mins)
1
Set out three buckets or hoops: one Red, one Blue, and one Yellow.
2
Scatter a variety of blocks or toys on the floor. Ensure they are clearly primary colors.

Call a student up. "Pick a blue block. Put it in the blue bucket."
4
Encourage the whole class to chant: "Blue! Blue! Blue!" as the student moves.
Differentiation Tips
Support: Use hand-over-hand guidance for students struggling with matching. Use physical color cards to hold next to objects.
Challenge: Ask students to name the object as well (e.g., "Red ball").

Magic Color Mixers Teacher Guide Magic Color Mixers
Teacher Facilitation Guide
Objective
Students will discover how mixing primary colors creates secondary colors.
Materials
Clear cups
Food coloring/Paint
Mixing sticks
Vocabulary
Orange, Green, Purple, Mix, Change
The Mixing Magic (10 mins)
1. Place two clear cups of water on the table. Add yellow food coloring to one and blue to the other.
2. Ask: "What color is this?" (Yellow/Blue). "What will happen if we put them together?"
3. Pour them into a third empty cup. "Abracadabra! It's GREEN!"
Hands-On Color Lab (20 mins)
Guided practice using finger paints or Ziploc "Mess-Free" mixing bags.
1
Orange Mix:
Give students a dab of Red and a dab of Yellow. Guide them to swirl them together. "Red and Yellow make... Orange!"
2
Purple Mix:
Repeat with Blue and Red. "Blue and Red make... Purple!"
Check for Understanding
Hold up a secondary color card (e.g., Orange) and ask students to point to the two colors that made it.
\( \text{Red} + \text{Yellow} = \text{Orange} \)
\( \text{Blue} + \text{Yellow} = \text{Green} \)
\( \text{Blue} + \text{Red} = \text{Purple} \)

Invite a "Leader" to come up. Whisper a color to them. They say the phrase, and the class points.
