5 birthday candles, wish there were more

Song: Can You Find the color? - sung to London Bridges
Each child got an envelope with die cut shapes made with different colors.

Can you find the color red,
The color red, the color red?
Can you find the color red,
And hold it up in the air?

Substitute the names of other colors for red.
