Duration: 30 Minutes

Objectives:

• Students will be able to identify primary colors (red, blue, yellow).
• Students will understand how to mix colors to create secondary colors (green, orange, purple).
• Students will engage in a hands-on activity to reinforce learning.

Materials Needed:

• Colorful construction paper (red, blue, yellow)
• White paper for mixing colors
• Paint (primary colors only)
• Paintbrushes
• Plastic cups for mixing paint
• Water for rinsing brushes
• Smocks or old shirts to protect clothing

Lesson Outline:

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

• Begin the lesson by gathering the students in a circle.
• Show them the primary color construction paper (red, blue, yellow).
• Ask the students if they can name the colors. Allow each student a moment to respond.

2. Color Mixing Demonstration (10 minutes)

• Explain that when you mix primary colors, you get new colors.
• Demonstrate color mixing by combining blue and yellow paint to create green, red and yellow to create orange, and red and blue to create purple.
• Allow students to observe and discuss the new colors created.

3. Hands-On Activity (10 minutes)

• Distribute white paper and paintbrushes to each student.
• Guide students as they mix the primary colors on their paper to create new colors.
• Encourage them to experiment by trying different combinations of colors.
• Walk around to assist and provide affirmation.

4. Group Reflection (5 minutes)

• Have students share what new colors they created and how they achieved them.
• Ask questions like, "What two colors did you mix to get green?"
• Reinforce the color names and mixing process through their answers.

Conclusion:

• Summarize the lesson by revisiting the primary colors and the new colors made through mixing.
• Explain that at home, they can continue exploring colors with their family.

Homework:

• Color Mixing Worksheet:

  • Task 1: Draw a line to match the primary colors to the secondary colors they create.

    • Red → Orange
    • Yellow → Green
    • Blue → Purple

  • Task 2: Color the circles using the correct mixture.

    • Circle 1: Red + Yellow = Orange (color it orange)
    • Circle 2: Blue + Yellow = Green (color it green)
    • Circle 3: Red + Blue = Purple (color it purple)

Answers:

• Task 1 Answers:

  • Red → Orange
  • Yellow → Green
  • Blue → Purple

• Task 2 Answers:

  • Circle 1 should be colored orange.
  • Circle 2 should be colored green.
