The first is a background track that will continuously play whenever your prezi is viewed. Alternatively, you can add sounds to specific path steps. These will begin to play only when you reach the chosen path step. They will stop playing when you move to the next path step.  Important Note: Currently, prezi supports the following audio file formats: MP3, M4A, FLAC, WMA, WAV, OGG, AAC, MP4, 3GP. For more information on which software applications you can use to create these kinds of files, click here.   Check out this video to learn how you can add sound to a prezi:

This is a glog I created for Primary Colors with interactive elements such as a you tube video, podcast, Discovery Education prompt, and web links.

This video is a very dramatic introduction to the primary colors. It also includes mixing. The stop motion, music, lyrics, and visuals are very appealing for Prekinders.

Color Collages Have children search through magazines for red pictures, and glue them onto red construction paper. Do the same with each color and use these as posters for the classroom. Another Idea: Cut fabric of different patterns and colors into 1-inch squares, and give children different colors of construction paper cut in half. Make sure to have several patterns of each color fabric (ginghams, stripes, florals, plaids, polka dots). Children glue the pieces of fabric onto the matching color of construction paper (blue fabric on blue paper, yellow fabric on yellow paper, etc.) These can be made into a book or quilt.

This presentation is about play and its benefits for children in learning and their emotional well being.
