Rhymes

Jack and Jill went up the hill …

Twinkle Twinkle little star ..

Five little monkeys jumping on the bed …

No comparison for a little one singing a rhyme and doing the actions. Everyone will love that for sure.

Rhymes are the first thing which kids learn from the school. Now a day’s many parents teach their kids rhymes as soon as they start talking. Initially the kid many not understand the words and may not be able to sing along. But constant repetitions will teach the child the rhymes.

Researchers have shown that singing rhymes have very great effects in the brain development of the kids. Also their language skills will be improved by the constant use of the rhyming words.

A few things which can be incorporated in our daily life with kids.

• When ever we get a chance, sing a small rhyme.

• Ask the child to sing along.

• Make some small rhymes with your daily routine things

• Pick rhymes books from library and sing showing the pictures

• Explain the meaning of the rhymes and assist them in imagining



I am against Rhymes CD. I feel it’s a readymade package where the kids will lose their imaginative power. They listen to the rhymes in TV and see the pictures and just associate it together. There will not be any need for them to imagine the things.

Instead spend some time with the kids, sing a small rhyme and enjoy the moments together. Trust me, these moments will be a treasure.
