Let’s visit a place where watermelons grow and hear some silly questions!
Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow, back to my home, I dare not go. For if I do, my mother will say:
Oh no! London Bridge is falling down! Let’s try to build it up again.
Build it up with wood and clay, but they wash away. Build it up with iron and steel, but they bend and bow. Let’s try something sweet!
Build it up with fresh sweet buns. Yum! But someone ate them all up!
There’s a prisoner who ate the buns. What should we do? Maybe we can set him free if we watch all night!
The ants are on a mission! Let’s see what they do as they march along.
Wasn’t that fun? These rhymes and songs are great for singing and laughing together. Let’s sing them again and again!
Character Clock Craft: Create your own “Hickory Dickory Dock” clock using paper plates, markers, and craft sticks. Draw a clock face on the paper plate and use the craft stick as the clock’s hand. Have each child choose a character from the rhyme (like the ghost or the mummy) and draw or paste a picture of it on the clock. Encourage them to move the clock hand to the correct number as they recite the rhyme, helping them understand the sequence of numbers and time.
Silly Question Creation: Inspired by “Down by the Bay,” ask the children to come up with their own silly questions. For example, “Did you ever see a cat wearing a hat?” or “Did you ever see a fish playing a dish?” Encourage them to draw pictures of their silly questions and share them with the class. This activity helps develop creativity and language skills.
Marching Ants Movement Game: Recreate “The Ants Go Marching” by having the children march around the room. Call out different numbers and corresponding actions from the song, such as “two by two, tie your shoe” or “four by four, shut the door.” This activity encourages physical movement, listening skills, and following directions.
