This lesson plan teaches pre-K and kindergarten students about primary and secondary colors through fun videos and activities. It includes watching a video about primary colors, listening to the story "Mouse Paint" which explores mixing colors, viewing a picture showing primary and secondary colors, drawing a picture using primary and secondary colors, and reflecting on the lesson by creating a video about colors. The teacher created this lesson because a similar one was effective in their preschool classroom, and it provides a simple yet engaging activity to teach students about different types of colors.

This lesson has been made for students in Pre-K and Kindergarten. With the fun and helpful videos are in this slideshow to teach the differences between primary and secondary colors, along with which primary colors create certain secondary colors. I chose to do this lesson because it is similar to a lesson I created in my field work at my preschool, and I believe that it is a simple and fun activity that the kids will absolutely love. My classroom used this lesson for Easter egg painting, but this lesson can be used at any point in the year because it is a lesson that can be applied to anything at anytime. I hope you and your students enjoy the lesson!
