Watch Together: “Colorful Food” #1 (BTL clip)
STEM Key Concepts: There are many different colors
ELA Focus Skills: Color Recognition, Vocabulary, Active Viewing
Explain to children that they are going to watch a video clip about colors they see every day. Tell them the video is called Between the Lions "Colorful Food."
- Provide a viewing focus by asking children to think about the colors of different foods in the video.
Before You Watch
Explain that in the video children describe the colors of different foods they find at the grocery store. Ask children if they have ever been to a grocery store. Encourage them to think about a visit to a grocery store or a farm stand. Prompt them to share their experience and what colors they saw,
- Have you ever been to grocery store? What things do you see at a grocery store? Have children describe the color of an object as they share what they see at the grocery store.
- Say, What different foods do you see at the grocery store? What colors are the different foods?
After You Watch
Reveiw the foods and colors children saw in the video. Ask children to name other foods they know that are the same colors as the food in the video.
You may want to view the video a second time and have children call out the colors as they appear on the screen.
Math Tip: You may want to use the video to introduce, or revisit, more than and less than. For example, use the segments of the girl holding one olive and the girl holding two potatoes to help children understand the terms. Ask, Which girl is holding just one object? (girl with olive) Is the girl with the potatoes holding more than the girl with the olive or less than the girl with the olive? (more than)
