ECED4080 Creating Materials of Learning for Use by Young Children
Learning Task:
Matching Colors.
Description:
Children will work independently to
arrange the laminated color cards and
match to them the same color of the
felt cards. They may name the pictures
on the laminated cards.
Start with the primary colors and add
the secondary colors with gold and
silver according to the child's progress.
Learning task adapted from:
Child Care Center, Sultan Qaboos University.
Age Group:
4.5 to 6 years.
Subject area:
Science.
Subject Stands:
Exploration and Experimentation.
Subject Topic:
Colors
Background Information:
Learning to recognize colors is a
fundamental part of early childhood
education. While some children seem
to naturally pick up the names of
colors, others learn through matching
activities. Setting up color stations is
also an effective way to teach kids how
to recognize colors. The learning
continues over the years as older
children study advanced color topics.
Student Learning Outcomes:
Science: matches and identifies colors:
blue, red, yellow, purple, orange,
green, pink, black, white, gold, and
silver.
Prerequisite concepts, skills, & values:
1- Follows class routine for
selecting, using and returning
individual learning tasks.
2- Understands the idea of the
activity: matches between tow
objects that share a cretin feature.
3- Small muscle control to match the
cards.
Learning Theory & Instructional Strategies:
The activity is based upon a
cognitive approach where
children make links with
different experiences (seeing,
listening and touching).
This activity responds to
children's way of learning
through hiding 12 colors they
are looking for.
This activity encourages
children to have knowledge,
search and learn independently.
Student Characteristics Accommodated:
This activity covers different
development stages (physical,
language and emotional).
Through matching colors cards,
this activity is easy adapted to
the child development level.
Introduction of the Learning Task:
Show the child the location of
the activity in the shelf.
Tell the child the name of the
activity.
Ask the child to bring the
activity to a table.
Ask the child to arrange the
colors cards and match the
cards which have felt with them
Ask the child to name the
colors of the cards.
Ask the child to name the
picture's name in each color
card.
Show the child how to tidy-up
the activity.
Checklist of Basket Items:
Basket.
2 boxes that contains the colors
cards.
Simplification Activities:
Focus only in the primary
colors (blue, red and yellow).
Extension Activities:
Ask the child to find something
else in the classroom with the
same color and bring it to you.
If the child brings an item with
a different color, encourage
him by pointing out the
difference in colors and asking
him to try again. If he brings
something with the same color repeat
the color's name as you hold up the
two matching items.
Enrichment Activities:
Vividly colored produce can be
used as tools to learn color
names. Green lettuce, red
strawberries, yellow bananas,
purple grapes, oranges and
blueberries are examples of
colorful foods children
recognize. We may choose to
feature a single color by
reading aloud a book like Dr.
Seuss' "Green Eggs and Ham,"
then making a green-themed
lunch with foods such as a
green salad, celery, green
grapes, green tortilla chips and
guacamole. Choose a different
color to feature another day.
Assessment Techniques:
Informal assessment:
Observe the child during the
activities time, snack time,
outdoor and the playing time.
Formal assessment:
The child matches and
identifies the colors receptively
"points the red color, when the
teacher asks for red".
The child matches and
identifies the colors
expressively "says this is red
color".
The teacher uses the assessment
sheet to evaluate the child
progress.
Evaluation Rubrics:
1- Does not match colors.
2- Matches all colors; recognizes
up to 75% colors (receptive
vocabulary); identifies up to
50% colors (expressive
vocabulary).
3- Matches and identifies
(expressive vocabulary) all
colors.
4- Describes 2 or more variation
in color name.
Vocabulary:
Blue, red, yellow, purple, orange,
green, pink, black, white, gold, and
silver.
