AnonyMouse_12845 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hey Calling all Early Years workers. I am looking for New Nursery Rhymes to sing with my children. We fed up of the same old boring rhymes. Any will help as long as they are fun and the children and staff enjoy singing them. My age group is 2-5 year olds Thanks x x x x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) Well........this is quite difficult as I don't know what you already do! One of our faves is A wise old owl with a pointed nose Two pointed ears and claws for his toes He sits in the tree and looks at you He flaps his wings and he says T-whit T-whoo! There are actions with that - sure you can work those out for yourself! Edited February 19, 2010 by sunnyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well, one that I've always thought was rather strange - not necessarily advocating you teach this one - not sure how social services would view it Peter, Peter, Pumpkin eater Had a wife and couldn't keep her Had another didn't love her Up the chimney he did shove her. As sunnyday says, hard to answer without knowing which you already sing. Action and number rhymes are always good; Here are grandma's glasses Dingle dangle scarecrow London Bridge is falling down Oranges and Lemons 5 little ducks went swimming one day 5 cheeky monkeys swingng in a tree 5 naughty monkeys jumping on the bed 10 little aliens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_3544 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 WE asked our children/parents to write down their favourite rhymes from home and made them into a book, to use in class. They were a mix of the usual and some I hadn't seen before, some were personalised to the children. They love reading them and talking about who says them at home.

AnonyMouse_1999 Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Our current favourite (well the children's!) is I'm a tiny caterpillar on a leaf (wiggle wiggle) I'm a tiny caterpillar on a leaf (wigle wiggle) I'm a tiny caterpillar, tiny caterpillar a tiny caterpillar on a leaf wiggle wiggle I will eat the leave around me until I'm full (munch munch) [repeat as above] A cocoon is what I'm spinning for my home (spin spin) I will be a butterfly and fly away (flap flap) I think it's sung to the tune of 'she'll be coming round the mountain' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
