इंद्रधनुष
Indradhanush
A rainbow is a colorful arc that appears in the sky when sunlight shines through raindrops. It has many colors like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
You pronounce 'rainbow' like this: RAIN-boh.
The word 'rainbow' comes from the Old English words 'regn' meaning rain and 'boga' meaning bow. So it means a bow made of rain!
The word 'rainbow' in Hindi is 'इंद्रधनुष' (Indradhanush).
The word 'rainbow' in Kannada is 'ಕೋಮಲ' (Kōmala).
Just like the colorful creatures in Eric Carle's books, a rainbow is made of bright colors that dance across the sky. After a rainy day, when the sun peeks out, look up! You might see red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple all together. Each color is like a happy friend waving hello!
Can you find something in your room that matches each color? Let’s pretend we’re on a rainbow adventure, hopping from one color to the next! Rainbows remind us that even after rain, something magical can happen. 🌈
