Materials and Prep
For this lesson, you will need:
- Colored paper or crayons
- Shapes cut out from paper (circle, square, triangle, etc.)
- A flat surface to work on
Before starting, make sure you have a clean workspace and all materials ready to go!
Activities
-
Color Hunt: Go on a color hunt around the house! Ask the student to find objects of different colors and bring them back to the table. This will help them identify and name colors.
-
Shape Matching: Use the shapes cut out from paper and ask the student to match them with objects around the house. For example, a round ball for a circle or a book for a rectangle.
-
Art Time: Let the student create their own masterpiece using the colored paper or crayons. Encourage them to use different colors and shapes in their artwork!
Talking Points
- "What color is this? Can you find something else that is the same color?"
- "Can you tell me the name of this shape? How many sides does it have?"
- "What happens when we mix two colors together? Let's try!"
- "Can you draw a picture using three different shapes? What shapes will you use?"
