Nursery rhymes are songs that were originally sung to children in the English-speaking world and many other countries.
I like nursery rhymes because it’s fun teaching the actions of the people, animals or objects in the song. These days, children spend to much time watching TV, or playing with their phones rather than singing songs so I think it important for them to be taught a little tradition.

Ideas To Use Nursery Rhymes in The Classroom.

  1. Sing it! The younger children will love as the more sophisticated their understanding gets, the more difficult it becomes. The older ones will have a blast.
  2. Use them as prompts for writing. For example, if you sing Old McDonald had a farm the kids can write about the farm and then tell you all about it.
  3. Singing, acting and reading are great skills to learn in the classroom. Using nursery rhymes is a fun way for the children to practice these skills together. These skills help students with reading, writing, comprehension and storytelling.
  4. Take them on walks in the neighborhood and point out things using rhyming words to help children see how rhymes are used in their real-life environment.
