Teaching Nursery Rhymes |
There are a lot of different approaches to teaching nursery rhymes to children and many different related lessons. This forum is a place where teachers and parents can relate their experiences (or questions about) teaching with rhymes (especially using the computer). Please add your techniques so that others can benefit from your knowledge and experience!

For the teacher who wants to teach her
kindergarteners about body parts:
The song "Put your finger on ... (any body part)" can be a
valuable tool in teaching children their body parts. Also
"Head, shoulders, knees and toes." Simon says is a fun game to
play to teach kids their body parts. Hope this helps. If you're
teaching children about rhyming words, hold up a word and tell
students to touch the part of the body the word rhymes with (for
example, hold up the word keys and they touch their knees).
Hope these ideas help.

I am very interested in knowing the
true backround to all of the most popular nursery
ryhmes. I would like to know where each
particular song came from,when,
who wrote each one, everything on their histories.
I realize thats probably
too much to ask, but I'll take all I can get.
from Lenny Joe. pasadena, ca, USA; June 27, 2001
I would like to get articles about "teaching
rhymes for kindergarten" & "The benfits of rhymes"

asscociated with the season of spring
from Shirley Cassar, Northern Ireland, USA; March 2, 2001
I love your rebus rhymes! We have been doing "The
North Wind Doth Blow" as a movement poem and the children love it.
The North Wind doth blow (sway arms like branches blowing)
And we shall have snow (wiggle fingers downward)
And what will the robin
Do then, poor thing? (spread arms out, question with your
face)
He'll fly to the barn (flap arms)
To keep himself warm
And hide his head
Under his wing,poor thing (tuck arm around head)
The North Wind doth blow (same as above)
And we shall have snow "
And what will the doormouse "
Do then, poor thing?
He'll curl up small (stoop down and wrap arms
In a tight little ball around self)
And hide in the barn
until spring, poor thing?
All movements should be done slowly and with a quiet voice. It's a
very soothing poem and a great starter for talking about Feb.
snows and March winds.
Thanks again for the rebus(maybe you could add the 2nd verse).
from Rosie Armentrout, Balto., Maryland, USA; Feb. 24, 2001
Thanks, I've added the other verse.
In response to Laura Gaffey, asking about teaching
Peter,Peter, pumpkin eater:-
I did some work about pumpkins with my reception class (aged 4-5)
last Autumn.Can I recommend the excellent picture book "pumpkin
soup" by Helen Cooper as an exciting stimulus for discussion about
pumpkins!The illusrations are fantastic and the story brings up
lots of issues such as kindness, sharing, helping etc.My class
fould it very exciting!We made our own pumpkin soup and drew and
labelled the ingredients used.We also made pumpkin lanterns (it
was Halloween that week) which led nicely into work about light
and light sources.We were working on shape in maths at the time so
made lantern faces using 2-d shapes made from sticky paper.We also
painted pictures of pumpkins and learnt how to mix the colour
orange from red and yellow. Good Luck!
