Nursery Rhymes

Choose a nursery rhyme that is familiar to the children. Find the "pieces" needed to tell the story. Put them in a basket and put the words to the nursery rhyme or a brief outline of the story in it. These can be used independently by the children to the rhyme

Pointing to a picture when it is mentioned in the rhyme helps to associate the picture and the sound of the word, also expanding the child's vocabulary.

When it mentions a body part, touch it, shake it, wiggle it, tickle it, ...When there is an action mentioned, mimic it.

To celebrate the end of the Nursery Rhyme unit ask children come dressed to school as their favorite nursery rhyme character. Each teacher then holds a special Nursery Rhyme activity in her room and all the children rotate to each class and participate in every activity.

Colour and cut out the pictures of a nursery rhyme. Glue the pictures in order onto a sheet of construction paper or use them to make a mini book.

Use the pictures of a nursery rhyme with velcro to work on the flannel board.

Have small groups act out skits of different rhymes (with only a few minutes to put together their acts)A variation on this is to give each group the rhyme to act out in pantomime, and have the other groups guess which rhyme is being acted.

Act out the rhymes to play traditional Charades, with nursery rhymes as the focus

Make counting wheels

Three little kittens

They lost their mittens

And they began to cry,
Oh, mother, dear,
We sadly fear,
Our mittens we have lost.

What! Lost your mittens,
You naughty kittens,
Then you shall have no pie.
Meow, meow

Three blind mice

Three blind mice,
See how they run!
They all ran after a farmer's wife,
Who cut off their tails with a carving knife.
Did you ever see such a sight in your life,
As three blind mice?

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty
sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty
had a great fall.
All the King's horses,
And all the King's men
Couldn't put Humpty

Together again

Baa baa black sheep

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.
One for the master,
One for the dame,
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
