One thing that we need to remember is that nursery rhymes are not just for kids so that means the nursery rhyme activities shouldn\u2019t be just for kids either. The good news is that most of the nursery rhyme activities that are available to do require both children and adults to work together to create, which means that adults can get into these activities just as well as kids can. <\/p>\n
Here are some nursery rhyme activities that adults can get into as well. <\/p>\n
The \u2018Poor Dog\u2019 Puppet<\/strong> <\/p>\n Purpose:<\/em> <\/p>\n To increase fine motor skills and practice orally retelling a nursery rhyme <\/p>\n Directions:<\/em> <\/p>\n •Have the children decide what color they want to make their dog puppet and then give them that color construction paper.
•Next have them trace a dog head, chin, and two paw patterns onto the colored construction paper and then cut out the pieces.
•Now you need to use the smaller pieces of the construction paper to add eyes and a nose to the dog head or you can use colored markers
•Next you need to cut out a mouth from red construction paper and glue it to the chin of the dog
•Now glue the head and chin of the dog to a brown lunch sack so that you can open and close the dogs mouth to tell the nursery rhyme
•Glue the nursery rhyme onto the back of the puppet and use your puppet to tell the nursery rhyme to somebody else. <\/p>\n
