Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to recognize and name different colors, understand their basic meanings, and identify objects in their environment that match those colors.

Materials and Prep

• Be prepared to explore colors in everyday objects around the home.
• Know the basic colors: red, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, black, and white.

Activities

• Color Hunt: Go on a treasure hunt around the house to find objects of different colors. Ask the student to find something red, something blue, etc. This will help them connect colors to real-world items.
