HUMPTY DUMPTY

I'd love to come to each of your classrooms or do a Zoom visit, but that's not possible. However, I have started doing some short videos of songs, rhymes, and stories "Just for Kids." Here's my latest one about Humpty Dumpty.

    

   Watch Humpty Dumpty Video                           
                                    


Here's the new verse for the end of the rhyme:

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.
So the good children got out some tape and some glue
And they fiddled and faddled until he looked like new.
Then they carefully placed him back on the wall
And said, "Humpty Dumpty, please don't fall!"

Egg Puzzle
Cut ovals out of construction paper.  Have children use their imaginations to make the egg look like Humpty Dumpty.  Next, ask them to cut it up into pieces as if it feel off a wall.  Can they put the puzzle back together?

                   

Rhyme On
Challenge children to fill in the word that rhymes in these additional verses.
