Have you ever looked up at the night sky? There’s a little star that twinkles and shines so bright. It’s way up high, like a shiny diamond in the sky. We wonder what it is and how it sparkles so beautifully!

These nursery rhymes are fun stories that help us learn about rhyming words and using our imagination. Can you think of your own rhyme or story? Maybe you can draw a picture of Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty, or a twinkling star. Let’s have fun learning and creating together!
Create Your Own Rhyme: Think of two words that rhyme, just like in the nursery rhymes we read. Can you make up a short story or a rhyme using those words? Share your rhyme with a friend or family member and see if they can come up with another rhyme to add to your story!
Starry Night Observation: On a clear night, go outside with an adult and look up at the sky. Can you find a twinkling star? How many stars can you count? Try drawing a picture of the night sky with your favorite star. Imagine what it would be like to visit that star and write a sentence about your adventure.
Role Play Adventure: Gather some friends or family members and act out one of the nursery rhymes. You can pretend to be Jack and Jill climbing the hill or Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall. Use your imagination to add new parts to the story. What happens next in your version of the rhyme?

—
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Little Miss Muffet sat on a tuffet,
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider and sat down beside her,
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
