Need a Lesson Plan?

Next time you are asked to teach 5 pre-school girls a lesson on Blue Circles, look no further! I've got you covered. Here are all the tools and steps you'll need for a successful day.

Blue Circles Lesson Plan:
Objective: The Princess girls will be able to identify the color blue and the shape of circle.

1. Read "My Many Colored Days" by Dr. Suess

2. Pass around some blue magnets with pictures to match up.

3. Have a dance party to "I'm Blue" (If I was green I would die). (For my loyal readers, you will remember that this was the very song that the Dreamers performed to, so I knew all the words. All of them.)

4. Practice drawing blue circles to make smiley faces. (p.s. - use washable markers. Sorry Amanda!)

5. Time for a snack of blue, round blueberries. Yummy! (Note: some children eat the blueberries, some chew and spit, some sit on them. Be ready for anything!)6. Blow up blue balloons (talk about alliteration!), and draw smiley faces on them. (Note: when you try to take the balloons away, the children might hate you. Use caution and proceed slowly.)

7. Make blue bracelets with round, blue beads. (Again, this idea was great. But remember that you just asked the girls to eat the round blue things when it was blueberries, and then told them not to eat the round blue things when they were beads. They might be confused about this. Keep a close watch.)8. Have a mini spa treatment, and paint all the girls' toes blue, while they dine on blue, round M&M's. This will reinforce the lesson topic. (You might want to do this the whole time. It worked like a charm: "Don't move - you might smudge your toenail polish! More M&M's?" and so forth.)

9. Eat the red, yellow, orange, brown, and green M&M's while the girls watch "Finding Nemo." (Merciful movie! Bless Nemo!)

Now your Princesses will know what Blue Circles are! There can be no doubt! This information will serve them throughout their Princess lives! Hooray, Hoorah!
