Kindy Graduation – End of Year Colour-by-Code 

This is an end-of-year activity for your students as they get ready for their promotion ceremonies. Give each student a checklist with different questions. Based on how the child answers the question, they will use one of the colours to fill in that part of the glyph on the paper.

To complete this activity, students will answer each question with one of the two answer choices. Depending on their response, they will then colour a certain part of the drawing (hat, gown, etc.) a certain colour. 

Through this activity, students will show they can follow directions and colour the corresponding parts of a picture according to a key.
