It’s Rhyme Time!
Welcome to your It’s Rhyme Time Subscription. This page will give you lots of fun songs and rhymes you can enjoy while using your new puppets and toys. Nursery Rhymes offer a great learning experience for children. Traditional songs and rhymes give children the opportunity to listen to and enjoy the rhythms and intonations of language. and introduces them to vocabulary and numbers. Story telling is an important part of early years learning as it encourages children to listen to and understand the words, and to recall and retell as they join in. All important prerequisites to becoming readers one day. Lots of nursery rhymes have fun actions that can really help develop those gross motor skills and keep them active and moving. There’s also a great social aspect to rhyme time too. Children enjoy the time, whether it’s as part of a group in a childcare environment, or one on one at home. Singing with other people makes us feel connected and happy.

Sing a Song of Sixpence
Sing a song of sixpence,
A pocket full of rye.
Four and twenty blackbirds,
Baked in a pie.
.
When the pie was opened,
The birds began to sing;
Wasn’t that a dainty dish,
To set before the king?
.
The king was in his counting house,
Counting out his money;
The queen was in the parlour,
Eating bread and honey.
The maid was in the garden,
Hanging out the clothes;
When down came a blackbird
And pecked off her nose.
Baa Baa Black Sheep
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full
One for the master, and one for the dame
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full
One for the master, and one for the dame
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane
Yes, sir, yes, sir, three bags full
One for the master, and one for the dame
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane
Little Bo Peep
And doesn’t know where to find them
Leave them alone
And they’ll come home
Wagging their tails behind them
But didn’t quite know how to find them
She looked everywhere
From here and to there
But still couldn’t think where to find them
And lay down to rest for a while
She fell fast asleep
While counting her sheep
Then dreamt they came home with a smile
And dreamt that she was all alone
But when she awoke
And pulled back her cloak
She saw that her sheep had come home
And didn’t know where to find them
She left them alone
And they came home
Wagging their tails behind them

Just let your feet go clippety-clop
Your tail goes swish and the wheels go round
Giddy up, we’re homeward bound.

Don’t go tearing up the road

And we don`t have a very heavy load.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
How I wonder what you are
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night
How I wonder what you are
The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight
