New rhymes for babies
Nursery Rhymes and Songs for Babies With Lyrics
Your baby loves singing and chanting — the more, the better. Here are some beloved nursery rhymes and simple actions and games to enjoy with your little one.
"This Little Piggy Went to Market"This little piggy went to market. (touch big toe)
This little piggy stayed home. (touch next biggest toe, and so on)
This little piggy had roast beef.
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy cried, "Wee, wee, wee!"
All the way home. (tickle him all over)
Chant this classic nursery rhyme while changing your newborn's diaper. Touch each toe as you go, starting with the biggest and moving down the row. When you get to the word "home," tickle your baby all over, and watch him squeal with delight.
"Round and Round the Garden"Round and round the garden (draw circle on your baby's tummy)
Goes the teddy bear.
One step, two steps... (walk your fingers up his chest)
Tickle him under there! (tickle under his chin)
Your newborn will love this action rhyme because it ends with a surprise tickle. Start by drawing an imaginary circle on your newborn's tummy, "round and round." Then with "one step, two steps," walk your fingers up his chest, and then tickle him under his chin and arms.
"Jack in the Box"Jack in the box (cover your eyes)
Sits so still.
Won't you come out?
Yes, I will! (throw up your arms)
Babies love this exuberant game of hide-and-seek. Show your baby how to cover his eyes, and then say the first couple of lines in a low voice to set the mood. Add some anticipation with the third line, and then throw up your hands and shout out the last line. Your baby will love quietly waiting, waiting... and then watching you pop up like a jack-in the-box!
"Row, Row, Row Your Boat"Row, row, row your boat (rock back and forth)
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream.
Your baby loves doing as much possible with you, including riding in a boat. Sit down on the floor and settle your baby in your lap so she's facing you. Be sure her neck and head are supported. Hold both her hands with yours, and rock back and forth in time to the song. Vary the tempo for a fast boat ride or a slow one. Take advantage of the easy rhythm by substituting some of your own words (wash, wash, wash your face; roll, roll, roll the ball...). You'll both end up giggling.
"Old McDonald Had a Farm"Old McDonald had a farm,
E-I-E-I-O!
And on this farm he had a cow,
E-I-E-I-O!
With a moo, moo here
And a moo, moo there.
Here a moo, there a moo
Everywhere a moo, moo.
Old McDonald had a farm,
E-I-E-I-O!
You can continue with whatever animals you like, such as duck ("quack, quack"), dog ("woof, woof"), cat ("meow, meow"), sheep ("baa, baa"), and horse("neigh, neigh").
This song is so engaging it can make a baby feel as if she's actually singing the words. The sounds are fun to make, and the words help your baby learn the names of many animals. Sing it on the way to the zoo or to a farm, or when you read a picture book that features animals, and then make the sounds when you see the animals. Your child will be thrilled to find it all so familiar.
"Humpty Dumpty"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. (tip baby back slightly)
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
"Trot, Trot, Trot"Trot, trot, trot to London.
Trot, trot, trot to Dover.
Look out, ____, (baby's name)
Or you might fall OVER! (tip baby to the side)
What could be better than a knee-bouncing action rhyme? Sit your baby on your lap so she's facing you.
Hold her under her arms, lift your heels, and let the gentle bouncing begin. This game is best for older babies whose neck muscles are strong enough to support their head.

ABC Songs Lyrics
As a former kindergarten teacher, I can’t stress enough the importance of teaching kids the alphabet ABC song before starting kindergarten.
With that being said, please don’t assume your kids “know their ABC’s” just because they know how to sing the song.
Reciting the song and recognizing the letters and producing their sounds are completely different skills. However, if they know the song before entering kindergarten, they will already have an interest in learning the letter sounds, and know the sequence of letters in the alphabet. Therefore, when it comes time to teach the letters, the kids who know the ABC’s alphabet song, will do better at tracking and pointing to the letters as they sing along – building letter recognition naturally.

I’m a Little Teapot
Year after year, my students love acting out this fun nursery rhyme.
Mother goose nursery rhymes inspire kids to be silly as they act out and recite the nursery rhyme songs.
I’m a little teapot
short and stout.
Here is my handle,
here is my spout.
When I get all steamed up,
hear me shout.
Tip me over, and pour me out.
Five Little Ducks

Over the hill and far away
Mother duck said, “Quack, quack, quack, quack”

When the wind blows, the cradle will rock,
When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall,
And down will come baby, cradle and all.

And with the foot - top!

Only the noses are sniffling.

Poems for newborns and the smallest
Poems for newborns and the smallestAuthor: Asya Valasina
Poems for newborns and young children have been accompanying child care for many centuries. Write poems for newborns and the smallest and modern poets. In the article you will find folk and modern poems for bathing, dressing, feeding, waking up, putting to bed, playing with a child.
It has long been customary to accompany all actions for caring for babies with songs, pestles, nursery rhymes, sayings, rhymes. The rhythm and rhyme of a rhyme or song, their words, a variety of intonations in the mother’s speech (exclamation, question, surprise, chagrin, joy, admiration, etc.
) create very favorable conditions for the successful development of the child, give the baby a feeling of comfort, warmth, security, form the prerequisites for successful mastery of speech. Such poems and songs are very important and necessary for the intellectual development of a child of infancy or early age.
There is a huge number of folk songs, games, nursery rhymes, pestles, lullabies. You can read about them in the articles "Lullabies for babies", "Pestushki", "Nursery rhymes". And today I want to share my collection of folk and modern poems for newborns and the smallest children. You can say them to the baby, bathing him, dressing him, putting him to bed, etc.
At what age should children start reading poetry?
Opinion 1. Now more and more often there is an opinion that a newborn should not listen to children's poems from birth, but audio CDs with serious poems and literary works for his early development - "Eugene Onegin", etc., so that he fell in love with literature from the cradle.
Is that true? It's not! A complex piece for adults in an audio recording simply tires the newborn and infant and causes his defensive reaction. It seems that he is listening, but in fact the baby simply “turns off” - this is how adults turn off in the evening in front of the TV, and this is very harmful to the health and development of the baby! Our task, on the contrary, is to draw the baby's attention to speech. And for this, he must see the face of his mother, hear her voice, listen to the words repeated in verses, to the rhythm of a living human word. And fall in love with poems that bring him new positive impressions! This is precisely the beginning of "literary" education from the cradle.
Opinion 2. There is also an opposite opinion that newborns do not need poetry, because they “do not understand anything yet, but when they begin to understand, you can read poetry - from about a year”.
Is it true? It's too late to start reading poetry to a child from the age of one.
And the perception of music, and the perception of speech and poetry are laid, as they say, from the cradle. Of course, the newborn does not understand the words of the verses.
- The kid perceives not words, but rhythm, rhyme and intonation, mother's voice.
- Then, from mother's speech, he begins to single out individual sounds - vowels, which mother specially pronounces in verses and songs in a drawling, exaggerated way.
- Then the child begins to isolate individual frequently repeated words from speech, for example, his name.
Which poems are suitable for the little ones?
- It is precisely simple verses with frequently repeated simple syllables and words that are most suitable for the first perception of a child and help the child's speech development. Without them, the development of speech is later delayed, the child speaks worse and begins to speak later. The result of reading such verses for newborns and the smallest is immediately invisible.
But in a year you will see how much your baby is ahead of his peers, who did not have such verbal communication with their mother! - Now more attention is paid to ready-made audio recordings of children's poems on disks or on the Internet. But studies convincingly prove that a baby at an early age needs, first of all, not technical progress, but his mother's voice, her warmth and affection, emotional contact with her. Even a tiny baby already distinguishes the mother's voice from the voices of other people and different sounds! And it is this voice that causes the maximum activity of the child - visual, auditory, motor.
How to remember the words of children's poems and nursery rhymes?
People often ask what to do if you can't remember the words of a poem or a song?
• First of all, you can also make judgments on your own behalf, as it used to be. After all, these nursery rhymes and poems were not memorized by our ancestors, but were born as a “living word” here and now in communication with the baby.
They necessarily mentioned the name of the baby.
• Secondly, you don't have to memorize all the verses! You can choose from the proposed those verses that you like and like your baby. For young children, repeatability, recognizability of poetic lines from day to day is very important.
• Thirdly, you can write the words of nursery rhymes and poems on a piece of paper with an adhesive strip (such stacks of stickers are sold in any stationery store) and attach to the wall. But: it is strictly forbidden to attach anything to the wall with pins or buttons! There are still serious injuries to children when this pin or button accidentally falls and gets into their hands! Safety is above all, and if it is observed, then communication with the baby will be joyful and will bring both you and the baby a lot of positive emotions! It is very convenient to use reusable adhesive pads for attaching cards with verses on the wall, on the door, on the furniture wall in a place convenient for you.
When necessary, you can always unfasten the leaflet.
And here my introduction ends and your creativity and your joy from communicating with the baby begins!
Poems for Waking Up the Baby
When a newborn or baby stretches, they say to him, stretching the vowels of a rhyme or sing a song. The drawling pronunciation of vowels is necessary for the baby to single them out in the speech of the mother:
Pull-pull-pull,
To Katya (child's name) grow oooooo,
Grow up, daughter, healthy!
Like an apple tree! (Russian folk song)
We woke up, stretched,
We smiled at the sun together.
Hello, sunshine!
Bellflower! (Russian folk)
We got up from the pillow,
Hands - tugs (we spread the arms to the sides)
Legs - errands (we move the legs as if they are running, stomping on the crib)
Together - tugs (stroking the head) (T. Davydova)
Who woke up
Early?
Smiled
Cunningly?
Like, sit - lie idle
I can't-aha-aha!
Hurry up, give me the case,
Help-uh-huh! (N.
Pikuleva)
Potyaguuuusi, poyaguuuusi,
Guuuuusi flew low.
Pull the ears, pull the ears,
Soft feathers in the bottom of the ear.
Oh, my girl,
Golden squirrel.
Sweet candy,
Lilac twig (Russian folk)
Oh, my son,
Azure flower,
Wheat ear,
Lilac bush! (Russian folk)
For older children, other poems are suitable to help them switch from sleep to wakefulness.
I had a magical dream:
Squirrels were jumping around,
I myself was jumping with them -
And then suddenly I woke up! (N. Sokolova)
The sun walks lightly
On thin beams
And sways quietly
Daisies on the shoulders.
Rising higher!
Already above the roof! (G, Lagzdyn)
And here are three "wake-up" songs - poems for newborns and babies
Our baby is not crying!
She woke up,
Pulled,
Turned from side to side,
She sat on the pillow,
She sang a song!
Krohotuuuuli – krohotuuuuli!
Cheeks - puffed up apples!
Cams maaaash!
Even if we lie down, we dance!
Rattle, rattle!
Raise our daughter!
Good morning, Julia!
Daughter is a little baby!
And this is Elena Blaginina's well-known wake-up song
My daughter woke up,
Stretched sweetly,
Lie down, lie down
Yes, and smiled.
The heart beats fast.
Oh, my fish!
How dear to me
Your smile to me!
Poems for bedtime
Read these children's poems to your child lyrically, calmly, quietly, so that he can change from active games to sleep and calm down. With a baby of 2-3 years old, you can already stage them, put toys to bed, reading little rhymes to them.
Where the fish sleeps.
Dark at night, quiet at night.
Fish, fish, where do you sleep?
A fox trail leads to a hole.
Dog track - to the kennel.
Belkin's trail leads to a hollow.
Myshkin - to the hole in the floor.
It's a pity that in the river, on the water,
There are no traces of you anywhere.
Only darkness, only silence.
Fish, fish, where do you sleep? (I. Tokmakova)
A gray hare sleeps
Under a bush!
Sleeping little white flower
Under the leaf!
Katya doll sat down
On the bed!
Is it time for the girl
Sleep too? (G.
Lagzdyn)
Night outside the window
Dark, dark!
And we have a daughter
Quiet, modest.
Washed the legs,
Curled the bows,
Removed the hairpins,
Threw off the dress,
Lay down under the covers,
Closed her eyes. (G, Lagzdyn)
You can say to the baby:
Early to bed and early to rise -
You will not know grief and illness . Teach your child to say individual lines in a sleepy drawl:
Good night. Joseph Kaynar. Translation by A. Eppel.
Pan asked the pan:
- Pan!
How to get to Zasypan?
- Simple! - Pan said to Pan. -
Go along Dremal.
Straight to the turn
With yawn sign.
From Yawning Without Worry
Go to Drowsiness,
Where you turn at the pine -
You will go straight to Dreams,
And from there to Fall asleep
Half a minute away, sir!
Is everything clear?
-Even very much!
- Goodbye!
- Good night!
And here are the lines for the little ones.
They can be read to a child, and then he will read them with you to toys, putting them to bed in the evening:
Put on pillows:
Dolls - cheeks,
Bunnies - ears,
Goat - horns,
Mumps - legs! (G. Lagzdyn)
The bunny took off his slippers,
He washed his paws cleanly,
Ate a carrot -
And went to bed.
There will be a bunny
Sleep soundly.
Exercises with poems
At an early age, the development of a child's movements is directly related to his mental development. All movements of the baby - jumps, steps, games - are accompanied by songs or poems and rhyming lines.
They stomped their feet: top-top-top!
Hands clapped: clap-clap-clap!
Sat down!
Get up!
Sno-va
Se-li!
And then they ate all the porridge! (G. Lagzdyn)
You, toy, rattle!
Rattle and lift up
On the toe, on the heel
Our sweet daughter! (G. Lagzdyn)
Ghouls-ghouls-ghouls!
Little girls!
Dancing brisk little hands!
The girl's legs are dancing!
You little legs, dance!
You little hands, wave! (G, Lagzdyn)
Rita-rita-rita-ta!
Rita Ritas!
Like our cat
Ears on top!
Shall we call the cat?
He will dance with us,
Rita-rita-rita-ta,
And wag his tail! (N.
Pikuleva).
Playing with your baby, you can teach him to distinguish and name parts of the body - arms, legs, ears, head, cheeks, etc. To do this, you can use the poem "Katina's game" (Author - N. Pikuleva). In poetry, you need to replace the name Katya with the name of the child:
Birdies!
Where are Katya's pens?
Here they are, pens, oh, good!
Birdies!
Where are Katya's eyes?
Here they are, eyes.
Aw, good!
Birdies!
Where are Katya's ears?
Here they are, ears! Hey, good!
Then you can continue to acquaint the baby with body parts - legs, palms, fingers ...
And the nose is good - it looks like a button. Pip!
The baby's jumps can be accompanied by the words:
Baba sowed peas
Jump-jump, jump-jump!
The ceiling has collapsed!
Jump-jump, jump-jump!
Baba walked-walked-walked,
Found a pie.
Village - ate,
Went again.
Baba stood on her toe.
And then on the heel
They began to dance Russian.
And then squat! (Russian folk)
Jump-jump, jump-jump!
Grew up, grew up
Boy!
Jump-jump, jump-jump!
Look,
How tall! (N. Pikuleva)
Elena Zheleznova composes poetry with movements for the little ones and simple songs with movements for children. Naturally, only one game is played with the baby at a time, which is then repeated many times with him. Therefore, choose the simplest game and play with your baby. When he gets comfortable, suggest a new game.

All thinness from you!

And the child - up! (Russian folk)

On the hands and face.
It pours - spills,
Fills with laughter.
Water will flow away with you,
Sickness and thinness. (T. Davydova)

Boil sweet porridge,
Boil sweet porridge,
Feed our baby. (I. Tokmakova)

Fedya eats porridge quickly!
For whom would
Eat more? (G. Lagzdyn)

No sweeter than you and relatives,
Okay! Okay! (N. Pikuleva)
Poems for dressing and changing a baby
Many kids do not like to dress and undress.
Therefore, they are distracted by conversation, poems and nursery rhymes. Dressing the baby, they talk to him, calling all the actions: “Now I will put on a hat. That's what we have a hat - white, fluffy", "Let's tie a scarf. Our scarf is long, green, with stripes. These are the tassels of the scarf!”
You can read about how to teach kids to dress themselves in the article “How to teach a child to dress”, which gives all the secrets of learning to dress and a “calendar” of learning to dress by age. A selection of nursery rhymes for dressing for a walk in the article - "Dressing for a walk"
Little girls!
Hurry up and put on my daughter
Baby's undershirts, rompers,
Floral blouse,
Embroidered handkerchief! (G. Lagzdyn)
We put on a ryovushka:
A hat on the head,
Felt boots - on the legs,
And galoshes on them!
Wait, don't cry,
Pull on your fur coat. (G. Lagzdyn)
Small mittens
They flew like birds.
On the left handle - lope!
On the right handle - lope!
We'll go for a walk,
We'll find a dog! (G.
Lagzdyn)
Like our bird
Dark eyelashes.
Like our baby.
Warm feet.
Like our foot
Claws. (E. Blaginina)
On a feather bed,
On a sheet,
Not on the edge -
On the middle,
They put a naked man,
They wrapped a strong man! (G. Lagzdyn)
Poems for the little ones: a child learns to walk
They always try to accompany the child's first steps with words to support the baby and rejoice at his success.
Top-top-top-top,
Walk, walk with your foot
Firmly along the path (Russian folk).
Get out of the way, cat!
Our Lenochka (child's name) is coming,
Top-top, top-top.
Our Lenochka is walking,
She won't fall for anything.
Top-top, top-top,
That's what Lenochka (Russian folk)
Our Katya is little,
Katya is remote,
Walk along the path,
Stamp, Katya, with a little leg! (Russian folk)
On the threshold,
Along the path
Stomp together
Two legs.
Get out of the way, cat,
Our girl is coming! (G. Lagzdyn)
One-step!
Two - one step!
Left!
Right boot!
I'm teaching Alyoshka
Stomp a little. (G. Lagzdyn)
Masha walks slowly!
Our daughter is good!
There are rugs on the floor,
And Masha has shoes!
And not worn at all,
Not thrown into a corner! (G. Lagzdyn)
Dybok-dybok.
Soon Dima is a year old.
Grow up from the oak tree,
Get the ceiling.
Grow and taller -
You will reach the roof (Russian folk)
Poems - comforters: if a child is crying
If a child is crying, then comforting verses are said to him or rhythmic lines are sung along. These verses are trying to distract the child. At an early age, switching to other experiences, the baby quickly forgets about the past crying. You can come up with such poems for newborns and toddlers yourself. These comforting lines can also be humorous.
Don't cry, Petenka.
I'll buy you a roll.
I'll hang it around my neck,
And then I'll comfort you!
We have only one Vova,
We won't let you get offended!
We will sew a jacket
And we will send for a walk!
Here's a little scarlet flower,
I'll give Alenka a present!
Don't cry, don't roar!
Take a present! (G. Lagzdyn)
Don't cry, baby,
A squirrel will jump,
Bring nuts -
For you for amusement.
The cat is in pain.
The dog is in pain,
The horse is in pain,
But Vanya is not in pain!
Don't cry, don't cry,
I will buy a roll.
Do not roar, do not roar,
I will buy three at once (Russian folk)
Who is crying here, oh-oh-oh!
They say my son?
No, my son is not crying,
You shouldn't be talking!
Smiling already -
Look! (N. Pikuleva)
Go-ro-shin-ki,
Not-pro-shen-ki,
Where did you come from?
By tram or train
Did you get to Nastya (child's name)?
Noooo,
Ruin the mood
Nobody asked you to!
Maybe we didn't cry
Did it rain? (N.
Pikuleva)
Adults have always tried to switch the attention of a crying child in order to calm and console him. For older children, these two consoles by N. Pikuleva are suitable:
And let's collect
All your “I don’t want to!”
And into a capricious ball
Let's wind it up.
Let the magpie come,
And find a ball,
And unwind it in the forest for tea.
The sun will sing
At the top of the pine -
About you, about spring,
About birches.
And then - a breeze.
The breeze will fly in,
Get wet with your sleeve
Your tears!
What happened - happened
In our small country?
Someone's tear rolled down,
It sat on my palm.
I sat down, started up,
And .... - turned into a dragonfly!
You don't believe?
Dry your tears.
Whoa, look,
Dragonflies are flying.
And on the wings plays
A golden ray of sun
Guess,
The dragonfly knows,
What did we cry with you?
