Vocabulary: red, circle, pendulum, wheels, light, reflected, green, blue, yellow, primary colors, black, lavender, maroon, 3 dimensional (3D), curved, ball, globe,

Material required: Different objects in circle shape and red color.

Presentation:

• You can see objects in color because of the color of light reflected on them.
• Light has three primary colors; green, blue and red. When these primary colors are mixed together, other colors are created.
• If no light is reflected and all the colors are absorbed by the object, it appears in black color.
• Make circle and encourage the children to sit on it when they come to the circle.
• Encourage the children to look around the class for red things and some objects in circle shape. Introduce the colors of maroon and lavender; show them pictures and objects so they can identify the colors.
• Tell them a circle is a shape that is made up of curved lines and that circles have no sides.
• A sphere is a 3 dimensional shape (3D), it is circular, but because it is 3D, it will be round and like a ball or globe.
• Ask the children to find some spherical shapes in the classroom or to think of some shapes they have seen before.
• Red is a primary color. Discuss how colors affect us emotionally and ask how red makes them feel (red is a warm color and it usually makes us feel alert).
• Maroon is a dark, deep red, like the color of wine, and similar to burgundy. It is reddish purple in color.
• Lavender is bluish purple in color, and the name comes from the flower lavender. It is calming and creates a relaxing effect.
• Explain what happens when we mix yellow or white or blue, talk about primary colors, and how we can create other colors from them.
• Tell children to make circles with their arms or fingers. Show them circles in different size.
• Discuss about different objects like wheels, hula hoops, pendulum, ring, bangle that are in circle shape.
