Nursery Rhymes
Nursery rhymes, is such a broad topic!
Filled with many well known and not so well known tales, through rhyme.
For us here at Love 2 Learn Nursery, singing is more than just an activity we perform on the carpet.
Singing is a language we universally speak, everyone can sing!
If you’re like me, maybe not very well, but my songs still captivate a whole room of children, They hold no judgment!
It is apart of our daily rhythm, as we move around our setting - we sing.
When we wash our hands - we sing.
As we transition from room to room, from indoors to outdoors, there is a tune in the air.
One that’s easily replicated, all you need is a tune and words that describe your activity.
Our favourite for going down the stairs is “Let’s go down the stairs, let’s go down the stairs”.
Super simple, yet magnificently affective, supporting understanding, speech and language.
We are not saying we don’t sing nursery rhymes - we certainly do…
In fact there are so many to choose from.
But here are some of our current favourites…
Dingle, Dangle Scarecrow
Horsey, Horsey
Baby Bumblebee
How much is that doggy?
Shapes song
The list could go on and on.
A great tip is to speak to your child’s educators, they can share with you their favourite songs from within their setting.
Often settings can share these on their chosen platforms, so you can easily learn the rhymes at home too.
