NURSERY RHYME RAP

You know how I love NURSERY RHYMES for phonological awareness, oral language, and print knowledge. In the past I encouraged teachers to sing the song below by inserting different nursery rhymes. This year if you can't sing you can easily do the same activity by chanting the words to a catchy beat.

Nursery Rhyme Rap
(Slap thighs and clap hands to the beat.)
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Chorus:
A B C D E F G  (Tap right hand to left knee and left hand to right knee.)
H I J K L
M N O P
Q R S
T U V W X Y Z

Here's a link to the color class book and individual books that would be great for the children to use at home.
