Red Colour Song

Book Sharing – The Golden Goose

Golden is not the colour that we ought to share for this week, yet, I think “The Golden Goose” is a good story to share with the children. This short and simple story tells us not to be greedy. With its humorous pictures and easy reading lines, the children could get the story clearly from the beginning. Though some children were still confused with concept like poor, rich, greedy but most of them somehow understand the story.

Then we went back to “Red” colour. Suddenly, I thought of a song that I sang before with the 4 years old children, “Annie has an apple tree”. This song goes well with the red apple art we did last week.

The lyrics are as followed:

Song: Annie Has An Apple Tree (Tune: London Bridge is Falling Down)

Annie has an apple tree,

apple tree, apple tree,

Annie has an apple tree,

With lots of apples.

I also found another lovely red colour song to sing with the children.

Song: Red (Tune: Are you sleeping?)

R-E-D

R-E-D

That’s spells red,

That’s spells red,

Apple are that colour

Strawberries are that colour

R-E-D

R-E-D

Then I got the children to substitute the apple with another fruit. The children were quite creative, they choose “cherry” and “chili”. Then I asked them to substitute “strawberries”, they could actually say out “tomato” (which words that have 3 syllable), I suggested “raspberries”.
