Build Observation Skills with Rainbow Poetry Fun for Kids

Rainbows have always fascinated me.

I remember feeling like a part of something bigger whenever my friends and I would discover a rainbow in the sky or created by a prism. We would stop in our tracks, even if we were dashing through the woods or in the middle of an intense board game. Because a rainbow was something magical and special and breathtaking.

And I still find that a rainbow ignites feelings of awe and peace. Our backyard looks out upon a mixture of farmland and wooded hills. My boys and I marvel at the variety of rainbows that pop up during or after a rainstorm. We've even observed double rainbows on several occasions!

Our family loves to get creative with learning fun, even using our windows for homeschool fun activities windows for homeschool fun activities. As my boys and I enjoy our poetry teatime adventures, I wanted to continue to build observation skills as we shift seasons. 

A rainbow seemed a natural choice for working on observation skills. I created this Rainbow Poetry Fun for Kids pack for use with my boys and to share with your 🙂

Building on the ROYGBIV concept, these activities encourage kids to connect the colors of the rainbows to objects in their surroundings. These types of observations bring concepts to life and blossom into everyday life.

Sidenote:  My boys LOVE this song about ROYGBIV from They Might Be Giants! Their CD/DVD set with fun science concepts for kids is awesome.

Rainbow Poetry Fun for Kids Pack Helps Develop Descriptive Skills

These activities also contain exercises to encourage your kids to build descriptive skills. Working from their observations, your kids will use a thesaurus (or just their minds!) to find words that make their writing colorful.

Descriptive writing takes work and practice. It's not just a natural process. Exercises that get kids thinking about new and exciting words are awesome ways to expand vocabulary and creativity.

Our Rainbow Poetry Fun for Kids pack reviews the colors of the rainbow and leads kids through building their vocabulary bank of descriptive color words. So, instead of the "red bird", your child will work on expanding that description to something like "the cardinal with scarlet wings that shone like rubies in the sunlight".

And as your kids begin using more colorful descriptions, their enthusiasm for writing will grow!

Using our Frugal Inventor's Box, my younger boys and I made rainbow tambourines. Such an easy yet fun craft to build into your Rainbow Poetry Fun for kids!
