Remind students as you round out your time that music and feelings go hand in hand.Do you talk to your students about emotions? You need this lesson to accompany the popular book, My Many Colored Days.

I never use this time as right or wrong it’s simply an exploration of colors, feelings, and sounds.

Ask the student to explain why they thought the song represented a particular emotion or color.

If they give a “wrong” answer, this is a great time to talk about their “why.”.

Call on individuals to identify the color and the feeling the song demonstrates.When students know the feeling, they stand to their feet.For example- purple represents sadness and loneliness). (You may also use any instrumental playlist you choose here, but please stay consistent with the emotions of the book.

After the “Think-Pair-Share,” play different songs from the CD out of order of the colors in the book.Share as a whole group what small groups stated.After reading, ask students to describe the emotions of the different colored days in small groups or partners.Read My Many Colored Days, bringing in theatrical elements as you read.
