Red, Blue and Yellow
Each color could be assigned a day, the teachers and children could wear something "red" on Red Day, "blue" on Blue Day and "yellow" on Yellow Day: be it a shirt, socks, sneakers, pants etc.
A color project could be done for each day, i.e. Red Day the children could make a red sculpture with red playdough, red colored macaroni, red pipe cleaners, red buttons, beads, etc. Blue Day the children could do marble painting with blue paint, rolling the marble around in a round aluminum tray on cut out round white paper, and they could add blue glitter to their project. Yellow Day the children could make a yellow collage, with cut up yellow tissue paper, construction paper, yellow feathers, yellow foamy shapes, yellow pom-poms, etc.
Color books, puzzles and games should be available for the children to play with and teachers to read with them.
You could have a few days where the children are able to play with paint, using brushes, their hands, paint rollers, and mix primary colors; red and blue, red and yellow and blue and yellow. There are some good color books that can be read with the children about mixing primary colors, i.e. Little Blue, Little Yellow; Mouse Paint.
