Day 1: Discuss patterns. Give each student a large piece of drawing paper. Show them how to draw a frame and create a shape/color pattern in the frame. Trace pattern with black marker and color with crayon.

Day 2: Review/teach the colors of the rainbow. Give each student construction paper in all the colors. Have them cut the rectangles of paper into different shaped buildings. They should then lay them inside their frame in the order of the rainbow, overlapping so they fit before gluing.

Day 3: Add details to the buildings and the sky.

See attached rubric.

I have done this project with indigo and without. I usually use Greg Percy's ROY G BIV song with the kinders too.
