I’d love to see every child learn sign language. It would make our world a more inclusive place. And sign language is fun to learn. I took a community education course in American Sign Language one year and absolutely loved it.
I included some sign language in my large group activities (“circle time activities”) as a Montessori teacher. While some children enjoy learning sign language as a baby or toddler, others will enjoy learning it from preschool age on up. So today, I’m sharing some fun YouTube videos with sign language color songs for a variety of ages. Most, but not all, of them use American Sign Language (ASL). You can adapt them for your own country if you don’t use American Sign Language.
This post is part of my series of free songs and rhymes for circle time! See a full list of my song posts at the bottom of this post.
Free Sign Language Color Songs
Most of these are about learning the color names in sign language. A couple of them are songs with the word “colors” in the title. Those songs are performed in sign language. Signing the words to songs was one of my favorite parts of the sign language course I took!

What a Wonderful World in Sign Language with Bob Hiltermann
Kindergarteners Sign Language Song “What a Wonderful World”
“True Colors” in ASL. Webb Elementary 1st grade PTA performance, Mrs. G’s class – April 7, 2016 (This isn’t about color names but shows a lovely example of signing a song in American Sign Language.)
True Colours (by Artists Against Bullying) – ASLThe Ontario Rainbow Alliance of the Deaf (ORAD) proudly presents “True Colours” in American Sign Language. A song originally performed by Cyndi Lauper, then re-recorded by a group of seven Canadian musicians, “Artists Against Bullying.” (This is a great way to learn sign language in ASL to the song.)
True Colors – TheKaosSigningChoir I love this! (“In December 2013 The Kaos Signing Choir for Deaf & Hearing Children teamed up with the British Paraorchestra and Team GB Paralympians on this beautiful recording of True Colors.”)
Walk the Moon – “Different Colors” (American Sign Language). This isn’t actually about color names, but I like that it features deaf kids and encourages acceptance of differences (and it does have the word colors in it!) You’ll find the lyrics to “Different Colors” here.
