Songs, Poems
& Finger Plays:
Sally Go Round the Sun
(Tune: Here we go Looby-Loo)
Sally go around the sun,
Sally go around the moon,
Sally go around the chimney pots
On a Sunday afternoon!
If You See Something Yellow
Tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It"
If you see something yellow, wiggle, jiggle.
If you see something yellow, wiggle, jiggle.
If you see something yellow,
Wiggle, jiggle just like Jell-O.
If you see something yellow, wiggle jiggle.
At the end of
the song, have your children name the yellow things they see.
Yellow
Yellow is a star.
Yellow is the sun.
Yellow is the moon,
When the day is done.
Arts &
Crafts:
You Are My Sunshine
Need: tag board circle cutout, yellow tissue paper pieces, yellow streamers,
gold glitter, and glue.
Have the child glue the yellow tissue paper pieces all over the circle cutout
to cover it. Then sprinkle glitter over circle. Finish by attaching the yellow
streamers to the edges to create a sun.
Lemon Prints
Cut a quantity of lemons in half lengthwise. Set several aside to dry slightly.
Store the remaining in the refrigerator. Then gather: drying lemon halves,
white construction paper, newspaper, and yellow paint. Pour the yellow paint
into a pan, and have the child dip the lemon into it. Dab onto newspaper, and
then have them make a print on the construction paper. After you finish the
prints, make lemonade with the remaining lemons!
Games and
Activities:
Sing a Song
of Yellow – Line a tray with yellow construction
paper. Arrange an assortment of yellow
items on the tray. These might include
interlocking blocks, crayons, markers, pompoms, and buttons. Have each of your children choose an item to
hold while singing the following song.
Sing a Song of Yellow
(Sing to the tune of: “Sing a Song of Sixpence”)
Sing a song of yellow.
Sunshine and crayons, too.
Daffodils are yellow
When they are in bloom.
Buttons, yellow yarn,
And a yellow shoe.
You show me some yellow,
And I’ll show some to you.
Flower Power
– Bring in a variety of real
flowers. (Sometimes a florist will
donate older, wilting flowers.) Give
each of your children a small yellow square of yellow construction paper and one
or more flowers to examine. Help them
identify the paper’s color as yellow and ask if they can find yellow somewhere
in their flowers. Discuss and compare
their findings. Put the flowers in a
vase and display them in the classroom for everyone to enjoy.
Thinking
About Yellow – At art time, help your children make
hats from yellow construction paper.
Have them wear their hats at circle time, and wear one yourself. Discuss the hats’ yellow color. Tell the children that they are wearing
“thinking hats.” Ask them to think of
some things that are yellow. Let each
child, in turn, name a yellow thing. If
a child has trouble naming something that is yellow, ask the group to help. Record the answers on a piece of chart paper
and include a small picture by each word.

Yellow Day Activities - Have a "Yellow Day", where you wear yellow, eat
yellow foods, do many things outside in the sun. Have many arts and crafts that
involve the color yellow or yellow items. You can do these things all on one
day, or split them up so that you can do one thing each day. You can also play
games that involve yellow: Count yellow counters, name as many things that are
yellow as you can, plant yellow flowers and many more.
Sparkling Yellow Bottles - Fill a 16 oz. empty plastic soda bottle with
water and enough light corn syrup to thicken. Pour in glitter, confetti, either
in yellow or in gold, and seal the bottles securely. Let the children shake and
have fun!
Yellow
Printing - Cut lemons, yellow squash, and yellow bell peppers in half.
Place folded paper towels in shallow containers and pour on small amounts of

and veggies onto the paint-covered towels, and then stamp them on white paper
to make prints.

Then play music and have the children walk around the squares. Whenever you stop the music, have them each find a yellow square to stand on. Continue the game as long as interest lasts.
Recipes and
Snacks:
Lemonade - Show the
children how you can squeeze fresh lemons to make your own juice. Then let them
go wild trying it for themselves! Be sure to have plenty of sugar on hand to
