🎨 Art Adventure: A Magical Journey into Colours! 🌈

Introduction to Our Art Lesson

Kia ora, tamariki! Today, we are going to embark on a very special adventure into the wonderful world of colours! Are you ready? Let's open our imaginations and let our creativity soar!

Special Gathering

Let’s start by sitting together in our circle. I want everyone to close their eyes for a moment and think about their favourite colour. Picture it in your mind.

Questions to Think About:

• What does this colour look like?
• How does it make you feel?
• Can you think of something in nature that has this colour?

After a moment, we’ll go around the circle and share our favourite colours and what we imagined. I can’t wait to hear all your wonderful thoughts!

Story Time: "The Rainbow Who Lost Its Colours"

Next, I’ll read a short story about a magical rainbow who lost its colours. In this story, the rainbow goes on a quest to bring back the bright and beautiful colours of the world. After the story, we will have a discussion about how colourful our lives can be!

Story Discussion Questions:

• What do you think would happen if there were no colours?
• How can we express our emotions through colours in art?

Art Activity: Create Your Own Rainbow 🌈

After our exciting discussions, it’s time for us to become real artists! We will be creating our very own rainbows using different art materials.

Materials Needed:

• Coloured paper
• Crayons and markers
• Glue
• Scissors
• Glitter (if you wish to add some sparkle!)

Instructions:

1. Draw Your Rainbow: Start by drawing a big arch for your rainbow on the coloured paper.
2. Add Your Favourite Colours: Use crayons or markers to fill in each section of your rainbow with your favourite colours.
3. Get Creative: You can add stickers, glitter, or anything you want to make your rainbow special!
4. Share Your Rainbow: Once everyone is finished, we will gather again to share our beautiful rainbows and discuss what we have created.

Conclusion

Our art adventure today has just begun! Remember, every time you see a rainbow, it’s a reminder of all the beautiful colours in the world and the magic of creativity. I can’t wait to see all your amazing art pieces!

End with a Fun Chant:

Let’s finish our lesson with a fun chant together about colours!

Chant: “Red and yellow, green and blue,
Big bright colours just for you!
Art is fun, we can create,
Share our magic—it’s never too late!”
