Language focus: Colors (pink, orange, brown, green). "I see something..."
Classroom benefits: I See Something Pink is a follow-up to I See Something Blue. It's another great song for introducing and reviewing colors, and for exploring the classroom. When you sing the song, you can identify all the different colored objects around the room. Also, learning the expression "I see something..." allows you to play "I spy" games with the children.

Activity ideas:
Instead of having children run around the room looking for colors, have them try to locate colors in a picture book, a collection of toys, or something else you can place on the ground or table in front of them.
