Color
I'm bright and bold, a cheerful hue,
Found in lemons, corn, and butter too.
I shine up in the sky, a daytime star,
Bringing happiness from afar.
The Color Yellow
I lived in a fish for three days and three nights,
Because I tried running from God's holy lights.
I finally preached in a city of sin,
And saw all its people a new life begin.
Jonah
I am known as the "Father of my Country."
I was a farmer in Virginia who led an army to victory.
My face is on the dollar bill and the quarter, too.
I was the very first President to lead all of you.
George Washington
I wear a tuxedo in the snow,
But I have no gala where I go.
My wings are flippers, not for flight,
I slide on my belly, a chilly sight.
A Penguin
I'm a feeling, I'm a hue,
associated with the sky and sea so blue.
You might sing about me, or feel me down low,
but when the day is clear, it's my name you know.
The Color Blue
I was made from the dust, the first of my kind,
Lived in a garden, with a choice I could find.
I had no parents, but children I raised,
What is my name, in the Bible's old days?
Adam
I am a gift from France, standing tall and green.
In New York Harbor, I am easily seen.
I wear a crown with seven spikes and hold a torch up high.
I welcome people to America as they pass me by.
The Statue of Liberty
I move without wings, between silken strings,
Leaving my substance far behind me.
I have eight legs to help me climb,
And I catch my dinner just in time.
A Spider
I clothe the Earth in a vibrant hue,
From forest canopy to the morning dew.
I signal to go, but I also mean "grow,"
A symbol of life, where the fresh waters flow.
The Color Green
I am the strongest man, by God's own hand,
A lion I tore apart, across the land.
Later, from its carcass, something sweet I found,
A golden treasure, on unhallowed ground.
Samson
Born from the drought and the plowman's hand,
I turned to night the sun-drenched land.
I am the blizzard that brings no snow,
Choking the fields where the wheat used to grow.
The Dust Bowl
I’ve got lumps on my back and I live on the sand. I’m strong enough to carry you over the land, and I can go a long time without a drink.
An Owl
I am the color of passion and desire.
You see me when you get a bad sunburn or a nosebleed.
I warn you of danger, yet I also mean "stop".
Though I am a primary, I can be found in a fire's heart.
The Color Red
I was a gift of many hues that sparked my brothers' jealous views. They threw me in a pit, then sold me away, but in a foreign land, I rose to display a leader's wisdom. With dreams I did foretell, the coming famine and how my family would fare well.
Joseph
I started with a "shot heard 'round the world,"
and a flag with thirteen stripes unfurled.
I ended British rule and King George's reign,
for freedom was the glorious gain.
The American Revolution
I am known for my ability to change color to blend in with my surroundings. I have big protruding eyes that can see in two directions at once. I don't creep like other lizards; I walk slowly, moving one limb at a time.
A Chameleon
I'm born of passion's fiery hue,
mixed with calmness, deep and true.
A royal robe, a hidden prize,
I'm found in sunsets and in eyes.
The Color Purple
I hold the truth, both old and new,
Told in tales, sincere and true.
By pulpit voice and bedtime head,
What holy book is often read?
The Bible
I am a war where brother fought brother, dividing a nation like no other.
Slavery's chains were the root of the fight, for freedom and union, with all of their might.
Lincoln led the North, the South followed Lee,
The Civil War
I’ve got lumps on my back and I live on the sand. I’m strong enough to carry you over the land, and I can go a long time without a drink.
A Camel
