Let’s have fun with a silly rhyme! We have a cat, a cow, a little dog, a dish, and a spoon. They all do funny things together!
First, there’s a cat playing a fiddle. A fiddle is like a small violin. Imagine the cat making music and having a great time!
Next, we see a cow doing something amazing. The cow jumps over the moon! Can you imagine a cow jumping so high? It’s like a big, fun leap in the sky!
Then, there’s a little dog who sees all this and laughs. The dog thinks it’s so funny to watch the cow jump over the moon. Laughter is fun, isn’t it?
Finally, we have a dish and a spoon. They decide to run away together. It’s like they’re going on a little adventure!
Now that we know the story, let’s sing it together:
“Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon. The little dog laughed to see such sport, and the dish ran away with the spoon.”
Rhymes are fun because they make words sound like music. Can you think of other words that rhyme? Maybe “moon” and “spoon” or “cat” and “hat”? Try making your own silly rhymes!
Remember, it’s fun to imagine and create stories. What other funny things can you think of? Maybe a horse dancing or a bird playing the piano? Use your imagination and have fun!
Musical Cat Craft: Let’s make our own musical instruments like the cat’s fiddle! Use a small box, rubber bands, and a stick to create a simple guitar. Stretch the rubber bands around the box and use the stick to strum them. What kind of sounds can you make? Try playing along while singing the nursery rhyme!
Jumping Cow Game: Pretend to be the cow jumping over the moon! Set up a small obstacle course with pillows or cushions as the “moon.” Take turns jumping over them. How high can you jump? Can you make it over the “moon” like the cow in the rhyme?
Rhyme Time Adventure: Think of two objects in the room that rhyme, like “chair” and “bear” or “book” and “hook.” Create a short, silly story about them going on an adventure together, just like the dish and the spoon. Share your story with a friend or family member!

Hey diddle diddle,
The cat and the fiddle.

And the dish ran away with the spoon.

And the dish ran away with the spoon.
