The Color Songs

These fun songs are perfect for the preschool/kindergarten set. The songs focus on color identification, but also incorporate spelling of each color, working towards building strong letter recognition skills.

Red

(Sung to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell)

R-E-D spells red,

R-E-D spells red.

Apples, tomatoes, and cherry pie,

R-E-D spells red.

Orange

(Sung to the tune of Here We Go Loopty-Loo)

O-R-A-N-G-E,

What color can that be?

O-R-A-N-G-E,

Spells orange, yes sir-ee.

Orange just like the fruit,

Orange just like my juice.

O-R-A-N-G-E,

Spells orange, yes sir-ee.

Yellow

(Sung to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)

Yellow, yellow is the sun,

It shines down on everyone.

Y-E-L-L-O-W,

Y-E-L-L-O-W.

Yellow, yellow is the sun,

Shine on me so I can have fun.

Green

(Sung to the tune of Row Row Row Your Boat)

G-R-E-E-N,

That’s how you spell green.

G-R-E-E-N,

I know how to spell green.

Caterpillars are green,

And grasshoppers too.

G-R-E-E-N,

Now you can spell it too.

Blue

(Sung to the tune of Frere Jacques)

B-L-U-E,

B-L-U-E.

That spells blue,

That spells blue.

Blue’s the color of the sky,

Blue’s the color of the sea.

B-L-U-E,

B-L-U-E.

Purple

(Sung to the tune of Camptown Races)

P-U-R-P-L-E,

Purple, purple.

P-U-R-P-L-E,

Purple, yes sir-ee.

Purple grapes on vines,

Purple juice is fine.

P-U-R-P-L-E,

Purple, yes sir-ee.
