Our 45 Minutes
Hook Demo Paint Talk Clean
0:00–0:06
6 min
🎨Warm-Up / Hook
TeacherHold up the big color wheel. Point to orange and ask: "How could we make this color if our only paints were red, yellow, and blue?" Take three guesses.
StudentsTurn and tell a neighbor which two colors they think make orange, then thumbs-up if they want to test it today.

11 min
🖌Demonstration
TeacherAt the easel, mix a dab of red and a dab of yellow. Think aloud: "A little, then a little more — watch the orange grow." Name primary vs. secondary. Show the rinse-brush-between-colors routine.
StudentsWatch the mix happen, call out the secondary color as it appears, and repeat the brush-rinse motion in the air.

17 min
🌺Guided Exploration · Paint the Flower
TeacherSend tables to paint. Circulate and prompt discovery: "What happens if you add MORE yellow than blue?" Catch muddy mixes early — remind to rinse before switching colors.
StudentsPaint the three primary petals first, then mix and paint the orange, green, and purple petals between them, making their own color-wheel flower.
0:34–0:40
6 min
💬Reflection · Turn & Talk
TeacherPause the painting. Pose the reflection prompt: "Tell your partner how you made ONE secondary color — use the words primary, secondary, and mix." Listen in on two pairs.
StudentsShow a partner one petal they mixed and explain which two primaries made it and what they noticed while mixing.
0:40–0:45
5 min
🧼Closure & Clean-Up
TeacherCall a "rainbow gallery walk" — flowers stay on tables to dry. Restate: "Two primaries make one secondary." Lead the clean-up song and brush-rinse routine.
StudentsPlace their flower to dry, wash brushes, wipe tables, and walk past two other tables to spot a great color mix.
