“Chasing Rainbows: Show Me The Colors!” (often referenced alongside the official “Chasing Rainbows Song”) is a popular educational concept and animated musical segment from the hit children’s television series The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot about That!. Produced by PBS KIDS, the song and its accompanying interactive games are designed to teach preschool-aged children the exact order of the seven colors of the rainbow. The Famous Rainbow Song
The segment features a catchy, rhyming song where the Cat in the Hat associates each color with familiar objects (like red for tomato and yellow for banana) to teach the rainbow order, as detailed in the source material. Interactive PBS KIDS Game
Complementing the song is a PBS KIDS digital game where children help characters paint a rainbow for “King Kaleidoscope”. This activity reinforces visual recognition and fine motor skills by having players properly order the colors.
