Red (Three Blind Mice)

R-e-d, r-e-d, red is the word, red is the word,

The pumpkins in my garden are orange, orange orange

Y-e-l-l-o-w
I can spell yellow now
Y-e-l-l-o-w
Yellow like the sun.

Blue (Frere Jacques)

B-l-u-e, b-l-u-e
That spells blue, that spells blue
Like the color of the sky,
Like the color of the sea
B-l-u-e, b-l-u-e.

Black (Bingo)

There was a class that learned to spell and this is what they sang-o,
B-l-a-c-k, b-l-a-c-k, b-l-a-c-k,
And that spells black!

White (Happy Birthday)

W-h-i-t-e, w-h-i-t-e, w-h-i-t-e that spells white!
Like a ghost in flight or the moon at night-
W-h-i-t-e that spells white!

G-r-e-e-n spells green,
Like a frog, like a tree,
G-r-e-e-n spells green
Just like broccoli!

Purple (This Old Man)

Pur-ple spells the color purple, see-
Like the grapes on a vine,
Or some plums on a tree.

Brown (The Farmer in the Dell)

B-r-o-w-n, b-r-o-w-n, b-r-o-w-n that’s how you spell brown!
Big tree trunks are brown, big tree trunks are brown,
B-r-o-w-n, that’s how you spell brown.
And chocolate chips are brown,
Yes, chocolate chips are brown,
B-r-o-w-n that’s how you spell brown!

Pink (Frere Jacques)

P-i-n-k, p-i-n-k, that spells pink, that spells pink,
Like some bubblegum or a piggy’s belly,
P-i-n-k, p-i-n-k.
