Hi

I cant remember but someone post this idea

Get a sack and put in soft toys for each nursery rhyme. Get the children one at a time to pick one out and then you can sing that song.

Can make models, paintings, coloring printables, make a board with all the different pictures, collages....
ba ba white sheep cut ot sheep and stick on cotton wool..

here is a website which might help you

Pick a rhyme, google it..... see what comes up

You should find pictures, ideas for craft and activities

eg - 5 little monkeys...

Make a monkey puppet – monkey on a stick works well, use a template (Google images), colour it in, then glue or sellotape a lolly stick on the back

Make a bed for the monkeys – an old shoe box and one of dolly’s blankets

Sing the song next time you are outside, using the puppets while the children are jumping. This way, the puppets can fall off the bed, rather than the children (less hurt bottoms!)

Count how many monkeys are left at the end of each verse to encourage simple mathematical skills and subtraction

Don’t forget to role play the song – ‘ouch’ to falling off the bed; mime a telephone; mummy wagging her finger saying ‘no more monkeys’

Make a rhebus rhyme and laminate it - children can count the monkeys and see the words and pictures together

Have fun!

Good ideas Sarah, but what is a rhebus rhyme???

My children act out the five little monkeys on the trampoline (but not all at once). It has a net around it so has the added advantage of making them look like monkeys in the zoo!!!!

Oh and the added safety feature of course!!!!

Rebus rhymes - have a look here...

They are great for non-readers and I use them all the time - I do them slightly differently from this example, I replace a word with a picture rather than put the pic alongside the word

Have you seen the PB Bear books? They do a similar thing with really good clear pictures instead of words

I find non-readers and children with dyslexia enjoy them cos they can join in and 'read' after a few go throughs....
