Opening Activity: The Color Hunt!

Materials Needed:

• Colorful paper (red, blue, yellow, green, etc.)

Steps:

1. Gather the Children: Find a cozy spot in your classroom where everyone can sit in a circle and see each other.

2. Introduce the Color Hunt: Start with an excited tone: “Today, we’re going on a magical Color Hunt! We’re going to be brave explorers and find all the colors of the rainbow! Who’s ready to have some fun?”

3. Explain the Activity:

   • Show the colorful papers and say, “I have these special colors. When I call out a color, I want you to see if you can find something in our room that matches that color and bring it back to our circle!”
   • Encourage them to look carefully, considering items like art supplies, toys, or even clothing.

4. Color Call:

   • Start the hunt by calling out a color, like “Red!”
   • Allow the children a minute or two to search for red items. When they return, celebrate with enthusiasm: “Wow! Look at all these red treasures!”

5. Repeat:

   • Continue the activity with different colors until all colors have been explored.
