Place gels over flashlight lenses and let the children create color shows against a sheet or screen. Be aware, however, that mixing light will give you different colors then mixing pigments. Use paint trays to mix tempera paint although, of course, you can't unmix them the way you can do with the overhead projector and the flashlights. Move on to mixing colors on the paper using tempera and finger paint. Back to the story, however, and its friendship message.
Children can draw pictures of themselves playing games with their friends.
After the pictures are displayed, use them to make lists of games children play. Add to the list as children think of other games they enjoy with their friends that are not in the pictures. Make a graph in which children place their name circles after the game they like best. End with a retelling by the children of the story of Little Blue and Little Yellow .
