Hello, friends! I’m Dory, one of Santa’s special helpers! You might remember me from our fun Christmas adventure. Christmas is such a magical time, and I love it so much!
Today, I want to share a fun nursery rhyme with you. It’s about a little boy named Jack who loves to eat a special Christmas pie. This pie is a yummy treat made with meat, fruit, and spices. Doesn’t that sound delicious?
Here’s how the nursery rhyme goes:
Little Jack Horner sat in a corner,
Eating his Christmas pie.
He put in his thumb and pulled out a plum,
And said, “What a good boy am I!”
Isn’t that a fun rhyme? Now, you can try saying it too! It’s a great way to have fun with words and sounds.
Thank you for joining me today. I hope you enjoyed learning about Little Jack Horner. Have a wonderful Christmas, and remember to always have fun learning new things!
Make Your Own Christmas Pie: Gather some play dough or modeling clay and let the children create their own “Christmas pie.” Encourage them to add pretend ingredients like toy fruits or small objects to represent plums. Ask them to describe what they are putting in their pie and why. This activity helps them understand the concept of ingredients and encourages creativity.
Rhyme Time: Have the children come up with their own version of the nursery rhyme by changing the words to include their favorite foods or activities. For example, “Little Jack Horner sat in a corner, eating his favorite cake.” This will help them practice rhyming and understand the structure of a nursery rhyme.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground and ask them to observe things that remind them of Christmas or the nursery rhyme. It could be a tree, a bird, or even a corner where they can pretend to be Jack Horner. Encourage them to share what they see and how it relates to the rhyme or the Christmas theme.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
