Orange Colour

Today, we started with our “orange” theme. Before we go in to any activities, we had a brainstorming session. I wanted to children to tell me things that they know which are orange in colour.

Teacher: When I mentioned about orange colour, what comes to your mind? What can you think of?
Children: Orange….carrot….tiger….snake….

Then Yu Xi was trying to describe an item but she also couldn’t really tell exactly what it is. I think she wanted to tell about the persimmon fruit. Then I added on grapefruit and pumpkin.

I brought 3 small oranges to show the children, we had a brief discussion about what people do with orange.

Children: To eat.
Teacher: Right, to eat. What else?
Children: Orange juice….bake cake…to make enzyme (the orange skin)….

Then we had an orange item search. I divided the children into 3 groups with about 4 in a group but one of the groups only has 3. I also gave each group a piece of paper. The children needed to jot down the orange item they found in words or if they really can’t, they can draw it out.

Let the hunt begin. 





After 15 minutes of searching around, the children had their list ready.

Group 1
Group member: Wei Lok, Derek, Kwan Ming and Kern Ee
Item found:
toy tiger, orange see-saw, orange kite, orange fish, orange store room, orange watch.

Group 2
Group member: Jia Hoong, Yu Xin and Zhen Yuan
Item found:
Orange doll, orange toy, toy pumpkin, toy tiger

Group 3
Group member: Yu Xi, Phoeon, Jun Qian, Wei Ni
Item found:
Orange paper, orange book, orange fag (flag), orange kite, orange carrot (soft toy), orange ox (toy), orange watch, orange see-saw, orange slippr (slipper), orange ball, orange wall, orange tree, orange fish, orange toy, orange glue, orange butterly

Most of the children used drawing to record down their findings except for group 3 which most of the items were written down. Through this activity, the children learned how the names of items and also learned to ask and observe around their surroundings.

Treats Time
The children worked so hard to get their list done. Therefore as a treat, I treated them the 3 oranges that I brought. The children had a good time. Even though the oranges were a little sour, the children still enjoy eating it.
