Students are so familiar with cows that makes learning this unit easier.

Use Descriptive Language with the cows flashcards or small cards: It’s a blue cow.

Throw a bean bag to the small card. Calling out the color before throwing the bean bag strengthens verbal skills. Students need to listen carefully to instructions about which colored cow to aim for: Throw the bean bag to the purple cow!

Color the cows. This is a hands-on activity where they create a farm scene with the cows. They just have to cut along the lines and fold the tab. They can place it on green cardboard to simulate the grass.

Group Activities such as puzzles based on the cows by color will encourage cooperation and social interaction.

Students will improve their color recognition and fine motor skills by matching colored bottle caps to corresponding cows. Find colored bottle caps (matching the colors of the cows) and for the bottle caps that I didn’t have the colors, I added a piece of fun foam.

They can say the sentence: It’s a purple cow!

Play a memory game using puzzles. Students must focus and concentrate to remember where each piece is located. When students find a match, encourage them to say the color word out loud, enhancing their speaking skills. Listening to peers during the game also aids in language acquisition.

Students will review the different parts of a cow's face and body using the worksheets provided in this resource. You an do it as a listen and color activity: Color the cow’s eyes blue!
