Activities
1.
Most nursery rhymes are complete stories, with a plot,
characters, and setting. So they are a wonderful way to
introduce children to story
concepts. Put together a box of dressups and props, and have
children act out favorite nursery rhymes. Some good ones are
Little Miss Muffet, Hey Diddle Diddle, Jack Be Nimble.
2. Check
out Nursery Rhyme Time, by Ru Story-Hoffman. It’s filled with
fun activities and resources for using nursery rhymes, including
reproducible patterns for the felt board, craft activities,
fingerplays, and movement exercises.
