Importance of Nursery Rhymes

Nursery rhymes are being sung, recited, mimicked, enacted, and learnt for ages. Learning nursery rhymes is an important pre-school activity. A child will never forget in his lifetime.

Counting from one to ten would be the easiest task for your child if he knows the poem, 'one two three four five', by heart. Singing nursery rhymes enhances a child's reading and learning ability. It makes the child more confident. Learning and reciting nursery rhymes improve the memory and the language skills from early age. Sing the lullaby, 'hush-a-bye, baby' to your toddler and read out the poem, 'Mary had a little lamb', to your child.

After singing the rhymes, it is time to make your own rhymes. Challenge your child's intelligence and see if he can come up with a great poem.
