The Colour Song (With Lámh Signs)

In this blog, I share a song with you!

I'm certainly not a good singer, but I do sing all the time for my students, and I'm sure you do too, especially with the younger ones. The song is called “Look at the Colours Over You” and it focuses on teaching four colours. I usually sing this song during parachute games. My students love parachute games, and they're great for engaging all children, including those who are quite active and have a hard time sitting still.

Before I sing this song, I ask my students to lie down on their backs, on mats on the floor and look at the colours on the parachute. Another teacher in the class and two older students gently shake the parachute over the children; I don’t hold the parachute as I need my hands free for signing.

First, I point and label all the colours on the parachute, and then I sing “Look at the Colours Over You”. It’s an easy song to sing along with and sign.

Would you like to learn it and sing and sign it with your students? Enjoy the video!
