Hey there! Let’s have some fun with rhymes and songs. These are like little stories that we can sing or say together. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Lucy Locket. She had a little pocket, but oh no, she lost it! Guess who found it? A kitty named Kitty Fisher! But when Kitty looked inside, there were no pennies, just a pretty ribbon. Let’s say it together:
Lucy Locket lost her pocket,
Kitty Fisher found it.
Not a penny was there in it,
Only ribbon ’round it.
Isn’t that a silly story? Imagine a kitty finding a pocket!
Now, let’s go on a pretend trip to the market. A market is a place where people buy things like fruits, vegetables, and sometimes even animals. Let’s sing a fun rhyme about going to the market to buy a pig. Ready?
To market, to market
To buy a fat pig.
Home again, home again
Jiggety-jig.
Wasn’t that fun? We went to the market and came back home with a jiggety-jig! Can you imagine what a jiggety-jig looks like? Maybe it’s a funny dance we do when we’re happy!
Rhymes and songs help us learn new words and sounds. They also make us smile and laugh. You can make up your own rhymes too! Try thinking of words that sound the same, like “cat” and “hat” or “dog” and “frog.” What fun stories can you create with them?
Keep singing and rhyming, and you’ll discover a whole world of fun and learning!
Create Your Own Rhyme: Let’s make up a new rhyme together! Think of two words that rhyme, like “sun” and “fun.” Now, create a short story using those words. Draw a picture to go with your rhyme and share it with your friends or family. Can you think of a silly story like Lucy Locket’s?
Rhyme Hunt: Go on a rhyme hunt around your house or classroom. Look for objects and think of words that rhyme with them. For example, if you see a “chair,” you might think of “bear.” Write down your rhyming pairs and share them with the class. How many rhymes can you find?
Market Adventure: Pretend you are going to the market like in the rhyme “To Market, To Market.” What would you like to buy? Draw a picture of your favorite market item and describe it using rhyming words. For example, if you choose an apple, you might say, “I see an apple, red and round, the best fruit I’ve ever found!”
