Today I want to highlight just one song that can be used in your Early Childhood classroom to teach colors. And it teaches farm animals, too!
This song could be sung during Circle Time or during a small group activity. Give each student an animal card or a colored piece of paper. As you sing the song, the students with the named animal and matching color stand or sit by each other. Extension activity: After the song is completed, place the animal pictures and color cards on the floor. Assign each student a color and instruct him/her to find an object in the classroom that matches that color and place it by the animal and card.
Down on Grandpa's Farm
Oh, we're on our way, we're on our way, on our way to Grandpa's farm.
We're on our way, we're on our way, on our way to Grandpa's farm.
Down on Grandpa's farm there is a big brown cow.
Down on Grandpa's farm there is a big brown cow.
The cow, she makes a sound like this: Moo! Moo!
The cow, she makes a sound like this: Moo! Moo!

This activity is included in our Down on the Farm music and activity compilation.
Happy Singing!
