Garden Color Hunt

Ten colours listed. Find something for each. Tally what you found.

The kindergarten version adds recording to what the preschoolers do by basket, and the recording is the new skill. A found object is temporary. A tally mark is evidence, and the difference between those two things is the beginning of data.

The list deliberately includes one colour that is hard to find, which in most tropical gardens is blue.

The page has the ten colours, the tally grid, and a closing comparison across the group. The comparison is where it gets good. Two children with different totals for the same garden have to explain why, and the explanations, that one of them looked under things, are the beginning of talking about method.
