COLOUR CIRCLE

• Whole class activity. Each child selects
one of their bricks (they can keep their
colour selection secret) and places the
brick into a non-transparent bag.
• Pass the bag around the class and each
child draws out a colour brick and keeps it
hidden.
• Put on some lively music and let the
children move around the room to find
their “colour friends” by matching up their
colour brick with a friend who has the
same colour brick.
• Hold hands with your “colour friends” and
make a circle.
• Each group now creates a song / dance
/ poem / skit about something to do with
the teaching theme.

COLOUR

DANCE

• Children all have their 6 bricks randomly in
front of them.
• Everyone closes their eyes and shuffles their
bricks around.
• When the teacher indicates, each child picks
up any brick and holds it up high.
• Open your eyes and look around.
• All those with the same colour quickly join
together, build a model then do a colour
dance around your model; sing a song about
your model; add music to the dance.
