Los Colores
These songs are excellent for teaching and reinforcing the colors. It is a supplement to any
activity involving the learning of colors.
The Spanish song: Los Colores includes six colors in Spanish: yellow, red, blue, green, orange and purple. "Más Colores" is another version of the same song that includes five more colors.
These songs have been used in preschool programs and also kindergarten graduation.
Here are
some ways I have use them:
1. Students are lined up side to side. Give
each student a pair of scarves. Each student will have a different color scarf.
Each student comes in front with the scarves and wave it as the appropriate color
is mention in the song. At the end of the song everyone waves their scarves.
2. Give each student a color crayon as shown
in the picture below. You can make this
crayons yourselves using construction paper. Each student raises the color when they hear the color they
have. This is very good for helping students listen attentively and it also
helps identify students that are still having trouble identifying the colors in
Spanish.

Other ideas:
1. Students can dress up in their
particular color of selection.
2. They can wear wrist band colors
3. Have a basket with different color
items. Student finds the correct color as the song is been played. (for
example, each time the color yellow is said in the song student should pick out
something yellow out of the basket and at the end say along with the song: “me
gusta amarillo”

These are
just some ideas. Hope you enjoy these activities with the songs.
You can use
more colors with the other version "Más Colores" which includes five more colors
but same melody.
