PINK
(to the Jeopardy tune)

P-I-N-K
That spells pink
P-I-N-K
That is all there is to spelling pink
So now that you know-
Watch the pink roses grow and grow.

BROWN
(to the tune of "Frere Jacque")
B-R-O-W-N
That spells brown.
That spells brown.
Chocolate and tree trunks,
Peanuts and chipmunks,
All are brown.
Brown, brown, brown.

Yellow
(to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
I'm the color yellow
Look at me.
I'm as sunny
As can be.
When you want to spell me
Here's what you do:
Y-E-L-L-O-W

Purple
(to the tune of "Jingle Bells")
P-U-R-P-L-E
Purple is the word.
It's the color of a bike
Or a pretty bird-HEY!
P-U-R-P-L-E
Purple is for me.
When I look at plums or grapes,
Purple's what I see. HEY!
