RAIN
Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day;
Little Johnny wants to play.

The familiar figure of Mother Goose is an imaginary author of a collection of fairy tales and nursery rhymes which are often published as Mother Goose Rhymes. As a character, she appears in one "nursery rhyme". The so-called "Mother Goose" rhymes and stories have formed the basis for many classic British pantomimes. Mother Goose is generally depicted in literature and book illustration as an elderly country woman in a tall hat and shawl, a costume identical to the peasant costume worn in Wales in the early 20th century, but is sometimes depicted as a goose.
AN APPLE A DAY
An apple a day
Keeps the doctor away.
Apple in the morning is
Doctor's warning.
Roast apple at night
Starves the doctor outright.
Eat an apple going to bed and
Knock the doctor on the head.
Three each day, seven days a week,
Ruddy apple, ruddy cheek!
I have chosen this nursery rhyme because in it I find a way of making students get used to a routine. In this case an important one such as eating apples. Apart from this nursery rhyme I´ve found two more nursery rhymes which I also like. The rhyme “Christmas” may be enjoyed by children at the end of the year when Christmas is nearly coming, and the rhyme “Somewhere over the rainbow” is nice for me because I think it gives a moral message: there is somewhere in the world where you can make your dreams come true.
SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
CHRISTMAS
Christmas comes but once a year,
And when it comes it brings good cheer.
ACTIVITY N° 4: "NURSERY RHYMES"
ReplyDeleteTHE CLOCK
There's a neat little clock,
In the schoolroom it stands,
And it points to the time
With its two little hands.
And may we, like the clock,
Keep a face clean and bright,
With hands ever ready
To do what is right.
I have chosen this nursery rhyme because you can use it for teaching the time. Apart from that, you can show the children a clock and use it for meaningful learning. Rhyme is found in poetry, songs, and many children's books and games. Most children also love to sing and recite nursery rhymes.
