Instructions

1. Divide the class into two (or more) groups (group A and group B, or more).

2. Assign group A one color (for example, blue) and group B another color (for example, yellow). Group A makes all blue pictures and group B makes all yellow pictures. For older children, you may want to have more groups and more colors, so they can make more complex patterns.

3. Give the children the option of making their pictures independently and then mounting them on butcher paper, positioning themselves by standing in a particular order, such as ABABAB, or creating their murals directly on butcher paper.
