Let’s have some fun with rhymes and songs! We will learn about Humpty Dumpty, a little star, and a fun song about someone coming around the mountain. Are you ready? Let’s go!
Once upon a time, there was a character named Humpty Dumpty. He liked to sit on a big wall. But oh no! Humpty Dumpty had a big fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men tried to help him, but they couldn’t put him back together again. Poor Humpty Dumpty!
Let’s play a fun game! We ask, “Where is Pointer?” and then we say, “Here I am, here I am!” It’s like a fun hide-and-seek game with our fingers. We can ask, “How are you this morning?” and answer, “Here I am, how are you this morning?” It’s a fun way to greet our fingers!
There’s a fun song about someone coming around the mountain. She’ll be driving six red horses. Can you imagine that? It’s like a parade of colorful horses coming to visit us. How exciting!
Now, let’s look up at the night sky. Do you see the twinkling stars? There’s a special song about them. It goes like this: “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, like a diamond in the sky.” Stars are like shiny diamonds way up in the sky. Aren’t they beautiful?
Thank you for joining in the fun with these songs and rhymes. Singing and playing with words is a great way to learn and have fun. Keep singing and exploring the world around you!
Build Your Own Humpty Dumpty: Gather some craft supplies like paper, glue, and markers. Create your own Humpty Dumpty character. Once you’ve made him, find a safe place to let him “sit on a wall” (like a stack of books). Pretend he falls and see if you can put him back together again. Talk about what you did to fix him and how it felt to help Humpty Dumpty.
Finger Hide-and-Seek: Play the “Where is Pointer?” game with a friend or family member. Take turns hiding your fingers behind your back and then bringing them out when you say, “Here I am!” Try using different voices or adding silly actions. Discuss how it feels to find something that’s hidden and how you can use this game to greet each other in a fun way.
Starry Night Exploration: On a clear night, go outside with an adult and look at the stars. Try to find different shapes or patterns in the sky. Sing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” while you watch. Imagine what it would be like to be a star shining in the sky. Share your thoughts about why stars are special and how they make you feel.
