Find the Rainbow Colors Song

[20 Minutes]

There's a chance you may see a rainbow after a rain shower. Make your child curious about rainbow colors with a song!

What to do:

1. Take your child to a place where you can observe colors together (around your house, a specific room, the yard, or a park).
2. Sing this open-ended song and encourage your child to observe his colorful surroundings. (Tune: "Are You Sleeping/Frere Jacques"):

   Rainbow colors, rainbow colors
   In our house, in our house.
   Red, orange, and yellow
   Green, blue, and violet.
   Look around, look around.

3. Change the location in the second line to match your surroundings. Examples like "in our yard," "at the park," "in Grandma's house," and so on.
4. Take turns naming the colors that you see.
