This lesson was aimed for 2nd grade students but can be altered for higher grades. This lesson focused on teaching warm and cool colors to students with the help of the book "The Rainbow Fish". Outlines of fish were already cut out and given to the students. The class was divided into two small groups, one started with cool colors the other with warm. The students then had to take the strips of tissue paper and with their paint brush glue them onto the paper fish outline. At the end of the project an eye was given to the students to put on each of their fish along with one sparkly button, to represent a scale of the rainbow fish. This was a fun and engaging activity that taught students warm and cool colors very well.
An extension activity for this could be to use it on fabrics. Instead of paper students could make a tie-dye style shirt or even just a small square of fabric and make a class quilt.
