ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel Awnie's House THE BAD SEED wants to Teach You – HICKORY, DICKORY, DOCK!
Hi there! It’s so nice to see you. Do you see the big clock behind me? It’s a special clock because it reminds me of a fun nursery rhyme. Can you guess which one? Today, we’re going to learn “Hickory Dickory Dock.” Are you excited? Let’s get started!
Here’s how the rhyme goes:
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
And down he ran.
Hickory Dickory Dock.
Did you like the rhyme? It’s so much fun to say! Now, let’s try saying it together. Can you say it with me? Ready, set, go!
Did you know that clocks help us tell time? They have numbers and hands that move around to show us the hours and minutes. Just like in the rhyme, sometimes clocks make a sound when they reach a certain time. Isn’t that cool?
In the rhyme, a little mouse runs up the clock. Mice are tiny animals with long tails and whiskers. They love to explore and find new places to hide. Maybe that’s why our mouse wanted to climb the clock!
Keep practicing the rhyme, and soon you’ll know it by heart. You can even teach it to your family and friends. Have fun and enjoy learning!
Make Your Own Clock: Gather some craft supplies like paper plates, markers, and brads (paper fasteners). Help the children create their own clocks by drawing numbers around the edge of the paper plate and using the brads to attach paper hands. Encourage them to move the hands to different times and practice saying the rhyme. Ask them, “What time does the mouse run up the clock?” This activity helps them understand how clocks work and reinforces the rhyme.
Mouse Adventure Story: Ask the children to imagine they are the mouse from the rhyme. Where else might the mouse want to explore? Provide them with paper and crayons to draw a picture of the mouse’s next adventure. Encourage them to share their stories with the class. You can ask questions like, “What did the mouse see on its adventure?” or “Did the mouse meet any new friends?” This activity fosters creativity and storytelling skills.
Time Telling Game: Play a game where you call out different times, and the children have to move the hands on their paper plate clocks to match the time you say. You can make it more fun by incorporating actions, like “At 3 o’clock, the mouse jumps up and down.” This helps children practice telling time and connects it to physical activity.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
