I discovered the ROY G. BIV animated magical elf rainbow movie by the music group They Might be Giants during holiday break, I copied it and show it to my K-4 kids at the beginning of art classes. It was part of an educational music compilation that came out in 2009. The The 5th graders also will watch it even though they pretend they are too cool for it. The movie is on YouTube and there are free downloaders/converter where you can make yourself a copy of the movie to an MP4 or .wmv format and put it on your computer or flash drive or if your district blocks YouTube. I started showing this movie when we came back to school in January, and incorporated it to a K lesson with ROY G. BIV color head, 1st grade ROY G. BIV rainbow snail buddy, and a Mendhi hand project with 3rd. It is funny when I show it the kids start humming the song and are starting to remember the lyrics. I guess I will keep showing it during the semester as the keep requesting it.
Ms. W. I started using it last year in the same ways, and everyone knows him now - some of my fifth graders will watch but most are "too oool." I even dressed up as him for the lowers grades when we had "Fairy Tale Day" instead of halloween.

Also check out Ok Go!'s video on the primary colors from Sesame Street.

Hmmm... Sounds good I will get a copy of Ok Go primary colors if it is on YouTube. Music and harmony makes some terminology work really well. Had a girl tell me today she was not going to watch the ROY G BIV in class no matter what if I showed it, she watched the entire movie.
