If you have ever played the game "Name that Tune", then you will love playing "Name that Nursery Rhyme." For a party, divide everyone into two equal groups and read one or two lines of a well-liked nursery rhyme. Give each team a set amount of time to guess the rhyme, and if they do not guess it in time, add another line to the rhyme and allow each teams a opportunity to guess the rhyme once more. Every time you need to add a line to the rhyme, you will take away a point. The group with the most points at the finish of the game is the winning group.
Another fun nursery rhyme activity you can participate in with your child is a Rock a Bye Baby prop. In order to make the prop, you will need paper, paint, crayons and precut babies. On a blank sheet of paper have your child design a blanket. Wrinkle the paper until it becomes soft like a blanket. Then give your child a precut baby to rock in the blanket. You can also use scrap material as your blanket rather of utilizing paper. Head over to your local retail shop and purchase some straws, paper, and paint. You will be making fun puff art that allows kids to pretend like they are the Big Bad Wolf or other characters in the stories they read.
