Colors (to the tune of "The Muffin Man", from Suffolk Library)
Oh can you find the color (insert color name),
The color (insert color name), the color (insert color name),
Oh can you find the color (insert color name),
Somewhere in this room?

If you're wearing red today (to the tune of "The Muffin Man", from Green Bean Teen Queen)
If you're wearing red today,
Red today, red today,
If you're wearing red today,
Stand up and say "Hooray!"
(repeat with other colors)

Grey Squirrel (first verse from Miss Meg's Storytime, others by me)
Grey Squirrel, Grey Squirrel,
Shake your bushy tail!
Grey Squirrel, Grey Squirrel,
Shake your bushy tail!

Red Bird, Red Bird,
Flap your pretty wings!
Red Bird, Red Bird,
Flap your pretty wings!

Brown Dog, Brown Dog,
Wag your long tail!
Brown Dog, Brown Dog,
Wag your long tail!

Black Cat, Black Cat,
Crawl around the floor!
Black Cat, Black Cat,
Crawl around the floor!

Goldfish, Goldfish,
Swim around the room!
Goldfish, Goldfish,
Swim around the room!

If you like the color (to the tune "If You're Happy and and You Know It")
If you like the color (name a color)
Clap your hands!
If you like it and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you like the color (name a color)
Clap your hands!
(repeat using different colors and actions. You can stomp feet, wiggle fingers, turn around, etc)

Dance to "Color Game" on "Jim Gill Sings "Do Re Me" CD

The Colors Over You (with parachute, from Storytime Underground's Guerilla Storytime Recap, to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
Red and green and yellow and blue,
These are the colors over you.
Red like an apple and green like a tree.
Yellow like the sun and blue like this sea.
Red and green and yellow and blue,
These are the colors over you!
