Hi there! It’s Mebellea, and I have something fun to share with you today. Do you like horses? I love riding horses! Have you ever tried it? It’s so much fun!
Today, we’re going to learn a special nursery rhyme about a lady riding a horse. The rhyme is called “Ride a Cock-Horse.” Let’s say it together:
“Ride a horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a fine lady upon a white horse,
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.
She shall have music wherever she goes.”
Isn’t it fun to imagine having music everywhere you go? I think it would be wonderful! Do you like music too? Maybe you can pretend to ride a horse and sing this rhyme with your friends!
How about we pretend to be the lady on the horse? You can put on some rings and bells and pretend to ride your very own horse. Don’t forget to sing the rhyme as you go!
Did you know horses are very friendly animals? They love to run and play. Horses can be different colors, like brown, black, or even white, just like the horse in our rhyme!
Now you know the “Ride a Cock-Horse” rhyme! You can sing it anytime you want. Remember to have fun and keep pretending. Maybe you can even make up your own rhymes!
Thanks for learning with me today! I hope you had a great time. See you next time for more fun and learning!
Horse Colors Exploration: Go on a color hunt! Look around your home or classroom for objects that are the same colors as horses: brown, black, and white. Can you find something for each color? Once you find them, share with your friends or family what you found and how it reminds you of a horse.
Make Your Own Music: Just like the lady in the rhyme has music wherever she goes, let’s create our own music! Use simple instruments like shakers, bells, or even pots and pans to make sounds. Try to create a rhythm that you can march to, pretending you are riding a horse. Can you make your music sound like the clip-clop of horse hooves?
Imagination Drawing: Draw a picture of your dream horse. What color is it? Does it have any special features like wings or a magical horn? Add yourself riding the horse. Where would you go? Share your drawing with your friends and tell them about your adventure.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
