Colors
In My Food
Colors, colors, what colors do I see
in the food the farmer grows for me?
Orange carrots and ripe red tomatoes,
Green string beans and nice brown potatoes.
Yellow butter is to spread on my bread,
Cold white milk and an apple so red,
Yes, these are the foods that are best, I know,
Because they help me to grow and grow!
Green Says Go
Green says, “Go!” (march in
place quickly)
Go! Go! Go!
Yellow says, “Slow!” (march slowly)
Slow…slow…slow.
And red says, “Stop!” (stop suddenly)
Go, go, go! (march fast)
Slow…slow…slow. (march slowly)
And STOP! (stop suddenly) |
