The learning of colors and the use of imagination
Learning with colors
Learning with colorsThe colors are everywhere we look, they are reflected in our surroundings. There are no places where there is no color, from the lightest to the darkest, it is present.
To start these fantastic activities in the classroom, it is necessary to teach our children the colors, then, little by little, the subject deepens.
The colors are very striking for children, whether they are light or dark, they always matter to them. The colors have a life of their own, and we are in charge of giving it a special touch, using our imagination.
Each of us, children or adults, we have a favorite color or several, but there is always one that predominates.
As we spend so much time in the classroom with children, we must know each other well, and in this way know the tastes and, among them, know what is the favorite color of each child and Why did you like that color?
There are many activities to learn the colors, here I show some that can be useful and in this way we vary a bit the monotony that we have in the classes for children's learning.
Ask the children, which is the color of preference with which they want to work, and in this way small groups of two (02) children are made per work table.
In this activity you can work to your liking, paint or cut and paste images of the specific color that the group has said they like for the evaluations.
Drawing with freedom helps express yourself
There are many ways in which the colors and the representation that each one has are used, that is why it is necessary to nurture the child's full potential, so that he / she can discover for himself / herself and obviously with the help of the educator, the identity that They have the colors in life. Diversity exists, of course, but we must learn to differentiate colors accurately.
For this activity, we must as teachers do the counting of children in the classroom and ask each one, what is the color with which they wish to work, in this way we fill their containers with tempera, we put gloves or
we hand out brushes and let them work to your liking.
Observation: For larger children and with clear learning of colors we can deliver the material and ask them to draw only what corresponds to that color.
Let's teach easily and directly the representation of colors by means of figures
Each object, each animal, each thing has its specific color, with exceptions of the modified, but we have many to exemplify and teach children a way to guide themselves to learn what colors correspond to each one.
We do it in the following way:
- The use of brochures with representative figures.
- Magazines, books and images.
- observe them directly in the environment that surrounds them, clarify the ideas.
If you have learned the colors correctly there will be no problem to play and be evaluated
When you feel that you are having fun, nothing can stop you, unless, you do not know the colors and you can not play to be evaluated.
I liked these activities for color learning assessments.
We are going to prepare a box with several circles in its parts, each one has a different color and number, we must have balls of different colors, since they are marked in the work box, we ask the children to place the ball that they have chosen in the circle of corresponding color and we ask a question, for example: mention something, animal or object that contains the same color?
And the evaluation is over.
In this part of the evaluation, we have some empty boxes with circles in several parts, each with a color on the edges, also has the names of each one on the sides, so if you know how to read and have learned the colors, will be much easier to pass this evaluation.
Simple handkerchief with adhesive tape to place them where appropriate, according to the color.
Prepare activities that encourage children's growth and learning. When it is growing, it is easier to store information quickly.
Greetings friends and practice the activities in classes.
With developments in technology, I feel that colouring in activities have taken a bit of a back seat in children’s learning. Colouring in pictures and drawings may seem like a simple task but there are so many learning benefits for children to engage in the act of coloring in. Crayola has cleverly brought these two components together, technology and colouring in with Crayola Color Alive Colouring in Books, taking colouring in to another level with a 4D experience and special effects that will excite and motivate children.
Hello friend, yes, there are many methods of learning color, only that there are schools that do not have high technology for learning that way.
All existing forms of learning are good for children.
