    • Before the Activity: “Hello, friend! I have a fun color hunt for us to go on today!”
    • During the Activity: “The color we’re looking for is red, this color. (Hold up a red item.) When you find something red, bring it over and place it in the basket. Ready? Great! Let’s go! (Pause.) Terrific! You found a red [item]! Put it in the basket and keep looking for red things! (Repeat as desired.) Wow! You’re great at finding the color red!”
