Incy Wincy SpiderIncy Wincy spider climbed up the water spout,Down came the rain and washed poor Incy out.Out came the sun and dried up all the rain,So Incy Wincy spider climbed up the spout again.

Remember:Repeat rhymes to your child throughout the day, so they get to know them.

Five Little DucksFive little ducks went swimming one day,Over the pond and far away,Mummy duck said, ‘Quack, quack, quack’,But only four little ducks came back. (Four little ducks went swimming one day......but only three little ducks came back. Three little ducks... Two little ducks...)

One little duck went swimming one day......and five little ducks came swimming back.

Remember:Turn off the television or radio so your child can hear your voice.

Dingle Dangle ScarecrowWhen all the cows are sleeping,And the sun has gone to bed,Up jumps the scarecrow,And this is what he said:

I’m a Dingle Dangle Scarecrow,With a flippy floppy hat,I can shake my hands like this, (shake hands)And shake my feet like that. (shake feet)

Remember:Use actions to the songs and rhymes so your child can copy you.

Every Child Needs… Rhyme and Song!

Wind the Bobbin UpWind the bobbin up, wind the bobbin up,Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap!

Point to the ceiling, point to the floor,Point to the window, point to the door.

Put your hands together now, one, two, three,Put your hands upon your knees.

Remember:Smile and encourage your child when they join in with actions or songs.

Every Child Needs… Rhyme and Song!
