Cub’s art project guide

Wednesday 17th

Introduction to children

· Tell them who am, and what I want to do with them

New game: Red Light, Green Light

· Green means go, red means stop. Simple rules. Change it up a bit by using coloured paper instead of words, and reversing the colours.

Tie into traffic laws and proper use of crosswalks.

· Talk about the importance of traffic rules

· Talk about pedestrian rules & crosswalks

Creative break:

· Kids design new & interesting ways to incorporate colour with the laws about traffic/pedestrian safety. Inventing their own laws and ways of implementing those laws, ie) brightly coloured signs, lights, or lines on the ground etc.

· Supplies include: coloured paper, markers, safety scissors, glue sticks,

Wednesday 24th

Start with Red Light, Green Light

Begin talk about colour symbolism

· Ask ‘Why red and green?’

· Discuss examples of colours in figures of speech ie) feeling blue, green with envy, yellow bellied, etc.

· Reveal the relationship of Colours & Emotions – possibly a slideshow or video that the kids could ‘play along’ with.

Colour Charades
