Nursery rhyme activity parties are wonderful ways to teach your children and their friends necessary cognitive skills. Here are some great nursery rhyme activities you can use at your party. <\/p>\n
Humpty Dumpty Wall Hanging<\/strong> <\/p>\n You will need: <\/p>\n \u00b7\tGlue Jack and Jill<\/strong> <\/p>\n Blindfold two children and call them “Jack” and “Jill”. In front of Jack and Jill, you will place buckets or bowls with different things in them such as chocolate coins or other small prizes. Jack and Jill need to hold hands when they walk toward the buckets. As they hold hands, they will use their feet and hands to find where the buckets are. Once they find a bucket, they will take one thing from each bucket. <\/p>\n Mother Goose Field Day<\/strong> <\/p>\n A Mother Goose Field day is one of the best nursery rhyme activity party ideas.

To assemble Humpty Dumpty, cut out the trunk and body of the tree. Attach the tree trunk and body using glue. Cut out Humpty Dumpty and his clothes and attach to the tree using glue and also attach Humpty’s arms. Draw a mouth for Humpty Dumpty and also draw or attach wiggle eyes. Lastly, attach the bumblebee and write the poem on the tree trunk or attach it behind the tree trunk. This is a great activity for children to construct at a nursery rhyme party. The best part is, they can create their own Humpty Dumpty and take it home with them when the party is over. <\/p>\n
