Jack and Jill went up the hill (Stick thumbs up and move up in air.)
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown, (Bring one thumb down.)
And Jill came tumbling after. (Bring the other thumb down in circular motion.)
More! Jack and Jill's Happy Ending
So up got Jack (Thumbs up.)
And said to Jill
As in his arms he took her. (Thumbs hug.)
You’re not hurt, brush off that dirt. (Brush thumbs together.)
Now, let’s go fetch that water.
So up got Jack and (Thumbs move up in they air.)
Up got Jill to fetch that pail of water.
They brought it back to mother dear
Who thanked her son and daughter. (Fold hands and hug self.)

Trace around the puppet pattern on heavy paper. Challenge the children to make the puppet look like “Jack” on one side and “Jill” on the other side. Attach a straw and use as a puppet.

Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. (Extend arms in a circle.)
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. (Pretend to drop something.)
All the king’s horses,
And all the king’s men,
Couldn’t put Humpty (Shake head “no.”)
Together again. (Hold palms up.)

What happened to Humpty Dumpty?
So the good children got
Some tape and some glue
And they fiddled and faddled
Til’ he looked like new.
Then they carefully placed him
Back on the wall
And said, “Humpty Dumpty,
Please don’t fall!”
Give children ovals and ask them to decorate it like Humpty Dumpty. Next, have them cut the ovals into 5-7 pieces. Ask them to "put Humpty Dumpty back together again" by gluing the pieces on another sheet of paper.
