Answer 7

:-)  What rhyme isn't our favorite?  I use nursery rhymes as jumping boards for quite a few literacy and numeracy activities.  We change words/endings, we listen for beginning sounds, syllables, rhyming words, etc.  The one that the children picked up very quickly was Sing a Song of Sixpence.  The children painted 24 large craft sticks black and helped me attach 2 black feathers at the top and googly eyes.  We used the "crows" as our counting sticks and pointers.  We also used them when we first started the activity of listening for the high and low notes.  When the children could do it with the crows we progressed to musical instruments.  Another reason why I like it is because there are quite a few S's in that song!  We also discussed Kings/Queens/Maids and for the older children it was a jumping board for money.  There are quite a few other activities that we can do with it as well...I guess that's why it is one of MY favorites.
