ClassX Video Lessons Grade Kindergarten London Bridge is Falling Down | Nursery Rhymes and Songs for Kids
Today, we’re going to have fun with a song about a famous bridge called “London Bridge.” Let’s sing and learn together!
There’s a song that goes like this:
“London Bridge is falling down, my fair lady.”
Oh no! The bridge is falling! But don’t worry, we can try to build it again.
Let’s try to build the bridge with wood and clay:
“Build it up with wood and clay, wood and clay, wood and clay. Build it up with wood and clay, my fair lady.”
Uh-oh! Wood and clay can wash away when it rains. Let’s try something else!
How about using iron and steel?
“Build it up with iron and steel, iron and steel, iron and steel. Build it up with iron and steel, my fair lady.”
Oh dear! Iron and steel can bend and bow. We need to think of another idea!
What if we use something yummy like sweet buns?
“Build it up with fresh sweet buns, fresh sweet buns, fresh sweet buns. Build it up with fresh sweet buns, my fair lady.”
Yum! But someone might eat them all up!
There’s a funny part about a prisoner who ate the sweet buns:
“Here’s a prisoner I have got, my fair lady. He’s eating up the fresh sweet buns, my fair lady.”
Oh no! What should we do to set him free?
To set him free, we need 100 pounds, but we don’t have it:
“100 pounds will set him free, my fair lady. 100 pounds we have not got, my fair lady.”
Looks like the prisoner will stay for a while!
We need someone to watch the bridge at night:
“Set a man to watch all night, my fair lady.”
But what if he falls asleep? Then the prisoner might be free!
Wasn’t that a fun song? You can sing it with your friends and family. Remember, learning is fun when we sing and play together!
Don’t forget to check out more fun videos and songs. Keep singing and learning!
Build Your Own Bridge: Gather some simple materials like blocks, cardboard, or even playdough. Try to build your own version of a bridge. Think about what materials might be strong and what might not be. Once you’ve built your bridge, test it by placing small toys on it to see if it holds up. Discuss with your friends or family why some materials worked better than others.
Bridge Observation Walk: Take a walk with an adult to look at different bridges in your neighborhood or town. Notice what materials they are made from. Are they made of wood, metal, or something else? Talk about why you think those materials were chosen. Draw a picture of your favorite bridge and share what you learned with your class.
Role-Playing the Song: Act out the song “London Bridge is Falling Down” with your friends or family. One person can pretend to be the bridge, and others can be the builders using different materials. Use props like toy tools or pretend sweet buns. Discuss what happens when you use different materials and how you can solve problems if the bridge “falls down.”
