Here are some great bedtime nursery rhymes with lyrics to sing with your little ones. 

Some of them have long verses with soothing words that are best read to them, if you’d like to lull them off to sleep. 

Remember that even rhymes for sleep have all the same educational benefits as singing nursery rhymes, such as developing auditory perception and other pre-reading skills.

They are also great for developing vocabulary.

1. Go To Bed Late

This tiny rhyme is a fun one to teach your toddlers and preschoolers if they are resisting going to bed. Here’s hoping it convinces them!

Go to bed late,
Stay very small

Go to bed early,
Grow very tall.

2. Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

By Jane Taylor [source]

This is the first bedtime rhyme many children learn so your kids will probably already be familiar with it, but did you know there are several verses to this song?

Why not attempt the rest of this song and see if your child can sing along to another verse or two.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon.
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.

Then the traveller in the dark,
Thanks you for your tiny spark.
He could not see which way to go,
If you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep.
For you never shut your eye,
‘Till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveller in the dark.
Though I know not what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
How I wonder what you are.

3. Star Light, Star Bright

Here is a song that will make your little ones sleepy, and they can sing along too.

Star light
Star bright
First star I see tonight
Wish I may
Wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

Here is the tune by Super Simple Songs

4. Rock-a-Bye Baby

This is a classic lullaby, sung by parents all over the world.

Rock-a-bye baby
on the tree top.
When the wind blows
the cradle will rock.
When the bough breaks,
the cradle will fall.
And down will come baby,
Cradle and all.

5. Hop Little Bunnies

This song might wake your kids more than put them to sleep, but it is just the cutest and your toddler will love singing it and jumping to the beat.

See the bunnies sleeping, 
Till it’s nearly noon.
Shall we wake them with a merry tune?
They’re so still,
Are they ill?
Wake up little bunnies.

Hop little bunnies,
Hop hop hop, hop hop hop,
Hop hop hop.
Hop little bunnies,
Hop hop hop hop hop hop.

See the bunnies sleeping,
Till it’s nearly noon.
Shall we wake them with a merry tune?
They’re so still, 
Are they ill?
Wake up little bunnies.

Jump little bunnies, 
Jump jump jump, jump jump jump, 
Jump jump jump.
Jump little bunnies, 
Jump jump jump jump jump jump.

In the third verse, the bunnies can skip.

6. Bed In Summer

By Robert Louis Stevenson

This clever little poem is all about going to bed in summer, when the birds are still awake and it’s light outside, and you’d rather still be playing.

In winter I get up at night,  
And dress by yellow candle-light.  
In summer, quite the other way,  
I have to go to bed by day.  

I have to go to bed and see,         
The birds still hopping on the tree.  
Or hear the grown-up people’s feet,  
Still going past me in the street.  

And does it not seem hard to you,  
When all the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,  
To have to go to bed by day?

Watch Mogo recite this cute rhyme.

7. Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear

This action song is also a cute rhyme to sing before bedtime. [source]

Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn around,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, show your shoe,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, I love you.
(Give child a hug)

Teddy bear, teddy bear, go up stairs,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, say your prayers.
Teddy bear, teddy bear, turn out the light,
Teddy bear, teddy bear, say good night.
(Lay head on hands)

8. The Evening is Coming

This is a beautiful lullaby to sing to your children.

The evening is coming, the sun sinks to rest,
The crows are all flying straight home to their nest.
“Caw” says the crow as she flies over head,
“It’s time little children were going to bed!”

Here comes the pony, his work is all done,
Down through the meadow, he takes a good run.
Up go his heels and down goes his head,
It’s time little children were going to bed.

Play the tune here

9. Goodnite, Sweetheart, Goodnite

This is not really a bedtime song for kids, but it’s one of my favourites and I often just sing the first verse. It was first recorded by The Spaniels in 1953. [source]

Good night sweetheart, well it’s time to go
Good night sweetheart, well it’s time to go
I hate to leave you but I really must say
Oh good night sweetheart, good night

This is a great version

I hope you’ve enjoyed these bedtime songs for kids! Here are more preschool songs.

***

(Ya. Perepechina)

The day is over, we are tired.
The eyes began to close.
I really want to fall asleep
And stick my nose into the pillow.
It's sweet to sleep under the covers...
His mother tucked him in,
She stroked her son's tuft:
— Sleep, dear, good night!
Put your hands under your cheek,
Sleep sweetly all this night.
Don't let your dreams scare you.
- Sleep, my dear, bye-bye!
Oh, how good to sleep!
Tomorrow will be a day again.
Tomorrow we'll do everything from the beginning
Let's do it again!

And where shall we go during the day, before going to bed?

From station Toptushkino
To the station Bed
We need to get there as soon as possible!
And chu-duck sleep.

At the station Vstavaikino
Wake up - get out yourself!
And you will run to Igraikino,
To friends and miracles!

Well, in the meantime - we arrived
At the station ... Bed!
At this very station
It's so sweet to fall asleep...

Backfill

Our legs told us today:
“We're so tired today,
We jumped so much today,
That we don't want to do it anymore,
To be kicked again.
We want to lie down, rest,
To start on the road again tomorrow!

And the pens said:
“We were also very tired,
We dressed, fed and washed,
And painted,
Do you know how tired we are?”

And each finger said:
“I'm tired too!
I also worked and helped!
Keep a spoon and wash your eyes!
Let us sleep now!”

And the ears suddenly whispered:
“And we were tired too,
We were all day long
We listened attentively to everyone,
We have learned so much. ..
We would be glad,
If we could sleep!”

And the eyes said:
“Oh, how tired we are!
We were so tired that we pinched.
We've seen so much today,
And now we want to sleep,
Let's shut us down!"

And the mouth said and yawned:
“I'm tired too,
I chewed, I bit and screamed.
Let's have a rest soon,
So that tomorrow again
"Good morning" to say!

And the tongue murmured:
“And how much I have told,
Smacked, slurped and growled,
I was also very tired!”

And only the nose said:
“But I'm not tired!
All of you lie quietly,
Rest and sleep,
And I will protect you,
Breathe calmly and breathe…»

Dark night

With a quiet feline tread
Dark night has come.
At the crib of the son of the village,
Sleep slowly covered.

Sleep, my little prankster,
Close your eyes tightly.
Mom will be by your side,
Sleep and listen, bye-bye.

May you have a dream at night
A bright, unusual dream,
For example, there will be a sky,
And an elephant roams the sky.

He walks along the Milky Way
Cheerfully walks,
And for all the people of the earth,
Lights the stars.

Farther, a rainbow in the distance,
Creep with seven colors.
Walk along it into the clouds,
And all sadness will be dispelled.

Ride a cloud,
Chasing, rush into the distance,
Greet the sun with your pen,
But don't get burned.

Landed and in an open field,
Where the feather grass grows like a carpet
You run there a little,
And then run home.

Cheesecakes are waiting for you at home
And cookies with milk,
Mom's kind smile
Well, pampering with father.

Sleep, my little son,
Don't forget your childhood.
Only children dream of a fairy tale,
Sleep, my dear, bye-bye.

From magical distant lands

(N. Borisova)

From magical distant lands
A caravan comes out of dreams.
A million beautiful dreams
Loaded on elephants.
Elephants stretch in a chain,
But they are not visible to everyone.
Close your eyes.
You see - an elephant, followed by another.
Dreams for adults and children
They take us, but they themselves ... sleep.
An elephant does not need a bed,
He can sleep on the go.
Every elephant sleeps
Four dreams on his back:
Smiles in his sleep
On his big back!
Dreams of a wonderful dream,
As if a dream is a huge elephant.
Elephants are walking slowly,
Fairy dreams are slumbering.
All elephants cannot be counted.
It's better to just sleep soundly.

Eyes sleep and cheeks sleep

Eyes sleep and cheeks sleep
Tired babies.
Eyelashes and palms are sleeping,
Bellies and legs are sleeping.
And tiny ears
Sweetly doze on the pillow.
The curls are sleeping, the hands are sleeping,
Only the noses are sniffling.

Hedgehogs

Three little hedgehogs
Lying on the bed in a row.
Mommy hedgehog is nearby
Says to them quietly:
It's time for you to sleep,
To get up early in the morning,
Look like in a clearing,
A white horse in the fog,
Quietly wakes up the clouds.
Like a hushed river
Washes willow branches,
Like mist melts under the sun,
Like dispelling a shadow,
A new day is coming to us.
In the meantime, hedgehogs, sleep,
Fly to the new day in your dreams

Where do colored dreams live?

(T. Vtorova)

Where do colored dreams live?
What country are they from?
I’ll just lie down on the bed,
I’ll close my eyes -
Dreams are colorful, naughty,
Like balloons -
They flicker above me,
They hurry to fly home!
I shout to them: "Wait,
you take me with you!"
Dreams shimmer,
Merge into a mosaic,
Flowers open
And flutter with moths…
– And lo and behold, I am among them!
All in blue clothes!
I'm in a dream and I'm flying!!!
I wish I could tell this to my mother. ..
I'll get up early in the morning,
Sleeping in the sun with a haze,
Disappears in the light of day,
Keeping my miracles.

Who sleeps where

(Yu. Chichev)

A hare sleeps under a bush,
A frog under a leaf.
A little squirrel sleeps in a hollow,
A worm sleeps in the ground.
And in a hole with a fox sleep
Five red fox cubs.
Crow sleeps in the nest.
A sweet dream wanders everywhere.
Bunnies sleep quietly in a cage.
Sleep, sleep, children.
The two-horned moon sleeps in the sky.
A bear cub sleeps in a den.
Horses doze in the meadow,
Boats sleep on the shore.
Quails sleep in the fields,
The wind sleeps on the poplars.
Fairy tales in a book are sleeping on a shelf.
A fly sleeps behind a shelf in a crack.
Kittens are sleeping near the cat -
They made a bed for them in a basket.
A mouse sleeps with a mouse in a mink.
You sleep in a crib with a book.
Only your angel does not sleep.
He keeps you in your dreams.

And clean up the toys.

Wash yourself with water before going to bed.
THREE - do not whine, but undress.

Do not spin like a top!

But do not blink your eyes.

Lullaby for the house0009 he was tired of various things,
he closed the shutters on the windows,
he turned gray all over from the smoke.

All day long the floors creaked,
everything dried up here and there,
the doors slammed and sang
and dangled in the corners.

The house is dreaming of a forest and a river;

Not only the doors
and not only the ceilings are sleeping in the house,
even the animals have calmed down,
the insects are beetles.

And the little one is crying in the crib,
so afraid of the dark,
that he calls his mother all night,
he is the same as you ...

I had a dream, a wonderful dream

(S. Yeast)

I had a dream, a wonderful dream:
Walked in the white sky elephant,
And the light blue river
Carried the elephant through the clouds.
And there was that elephant, a huge elephant,
Like a weightless swan's down.
And I wanted to fly like an elephant,
And become weightless too...
I woke up, my elephant disappeared,
And dad and mom in unison
They told me: “Your elephant is just a dream!”
Sadly, I went out onto the balcony...
I look, a river is flowing in the distance...
Clouds are floating somewhere. ..
And an elephant is walking in the clouds!
And this elephant is not a dream at all!

Fairy

Beyond the vast seas
And beyond the dark forests
There is a beautiful country,
The Fairy lives alone in it.

Handywoman of all trades,
A beautiful as a firebird.
She does good to everyone,
And she hates evil.

Dark night comes to us,
Sweet dream brings with it,
And keeps us until the morning.
You sleep sweetly - I sleep too.

Breathe calmly and breathe…”

Sleepy elephant

(I.Tokmakova)

Ding-dong. Ding dong.
An elephant walks in an alley.
Old, grey, sleepy elephant.
Ding dong. Ding dong.
It has become dark in the room:
The elephant is blocking the window.
Or is it a dream?
Ding dong. Ding dong.

Sleep is wandering along the corridor…

(Irina Yaryshevskaya)

Sleep is wandering along the corridor…
At night he came to Egor
And he wanted to dream about him.
Only the boy can't sleep.

Dream thought at the threshold,
Decided to wait a bit.
Walked around for two hours, yawning,
But Yegor didn't fall asleep...

Sleep on a coat hanger,
All the flowers on the wallpaper
Counted ten times.
But Egor didn't fall asleep…

Enough! How long can you wait?!
Sleep wandered into his bed.
He's terribly tired!
Lie down and ... dream about himself.

Mouse Village

A moon shard has climbed into the sky.
The Mouse Village woke up in the basement.
A whistle was heard inside the locomotive:
a daring mouse-driver is rolling mice.
There is noise and mice in the square.
Everywhere they rush for the mouse mouse.
Below, under the mice, a mouse rustles.
A mouser buzzes above the mice.
Learned mice are full of thoughts.
The mouse mentally steals the mouse.
Smart mice, hiding in the shade,
all night they shoot at a mouse with a musket.
But in the morning the lunar shard will fall.
Will fall asleep at dawn Mouse village.
And my mother whispers to me: “Timosha, get up!”
And I will answer her: "I'm sleeping... don't mouse..."

Eyes are sleeping...

All the children fell asleep,
They sniff softly.
EYELASHES, closed,
Sleeping in an embrace.

Like shutters closed
EYELIDS near the eyes.
Though the eyes are closed,
But they see now:

In a dream they see the eyes
Fairy tales.
A BROVKI - convoy,
Keep their peace.

Magical dreams

A fairy tale comes to us at night,
Stars shine in the sky.
Coloring book
Occurs in our dreams.

Dolls come alive at night
And they dance the waltz of flowers.
Their orchestra accompanies
From fragrant petals.

At night fairy fairy
Arrives on the carpet,
Magic is everywhere
Gives joy on earth.

Goblin walks with Baba Yaga,
Like good friends.
And Koschey finds a needle,
Giving life to himself again.

Mermaids are waking up
And in the abyss of sea waters,
Singing their solo,
A noisy round dance is circling.

The swan princess swims there
And, flapping her wing,
Covers the blue-sea
Bright gold tent.

And the princess comes to life,
The one who sleeps in a forgotten dream.
The good prince takes her away
On a silver horse.

Cat Bayun came down from the mountain
Tell about miracles.
A kind dwarf appeared
With a souvenir in our dreams.

At night the fairy tale comes to life
Giving kindness to all of us.
Never lose heart
Her faithful friends.

I have been in bed for a long time

(Boris Elshansky)

I have been in bed for a long time,
Somewhere nearby is my dream.
Maybe sleep is playing hide-and-seek?
I don't understand: where is he?

If I give him toys,
He will come to play.
Come on - a bear - by the pillow,
And a typewriter - under the bed.

Quiet, very, very quiet.
...After all, there are no better toys.
But my dream does not want to play,
And not a sound to me in response.

Where is sleep? I am falling asleep.
My eyes are hiding.
Only I open them,
They close.

That's completely closed eyes.
And I felt - he,
Real Dream from a fairy tale -
My Night Magician - Dream.

Bedtime poems for children - affectionate and lulling

--Choose a verse -- The moon is sleeping...Sleep wandered on the floor...FairyWhere will we go in the afternoon, before going to bed? sleep Hedgehogs Where do colored dreams live?0003

A good alternative to lullabies are bedtime poems for children. They also perfectly lull, plunging into the gentle embrace of Morpheus. Poetry also stimulates the imagination, so be sure that the baby will have magical dreams in which he will be able to meet a fairy, touch the firebird by the wing, run through the clouds, get a souvenir from a kind gnome or listen to a fairy tale from Bayun the cat.

Gentle wishes for a good night in verses give children a sense of security, relieving them of anxieties and worries accumulated during the day. And after the lyrical hero, who has already fallen asleep, the baby will also sleep peacefully in his bed!

***

The moon is sleeping…

The moon is sleeping, the clouds have fallen asleep,
The angel took you in his arms,
The dream brought you and sang a song,
He kissed his cheek, flew away…

Sandman wandered along the floor…

Sandman 90 half wandered,
Wandered to our Masha.
I wandered into her bed,
I lay down on the pillow.
She lay down on the pillow,
She hugged Masha with her hand.

Fairy

Beyond the vast seas
And beyond the dark forests
There is a beautiful country,
Fairy lives alone in it. A master of all trades,
A is beautiful as a firebird.
She does good to everyone,
And she hates evil.

Comes to us on a dark night,
Brings a sweet dream with it,
And keeps us until the morning.
You sleep sweetly - I sleep too.

And where shall we go during the day, before going to bed?

From the station Toptushkino
To the station Bed
We need to get there as soon as possible!
Sleep like a duck. At Vstavaikino station

And you will run to Igraikino,
To friends and miracles!

In the meantime, we arrived
At the station… Bed!
At this very station
It's so sweet to fall asleep...

Sleepy elephant

Ding-dong. Ding dong.

Dark night

With a quiet feline tread
The dark night has come.
At the bedside of the son of the village,
She hid her in a leisurely sleep. Sleep, my little prankster,
Close your eyes tightly.
Mom will be by your side,
Sleep and listen, bye-bye.

May you have a dream at night
A bright, unusual dream,
For example, there will be a sky,
And an elephant roams the sky.

He walks along the Milky Way
Cheerfully walks,
And for all the people of the earth,
Lights the stars.

Farther, rainbow far away
Creep with seven colors.
Walk along it into the clouds,
And all sadness will be dispelled.

Ride a cloud,
Chasing, rush into the distance,
Greet the sun with your pen,
But don't get burned.

Land in an open field,
Where the feather grass grows like a carpet
You run there a little,
And then run home.

Cheesecakes are waiting for you at home
And cookies with milk,
Mom's kind smile
Well, pampering with father.

Sleep my little son
Don't forget your childhood.
Only children dream of a fairy tale,
Sleep, my dear, bye-bye.

Sweetly doze on the pillow.
The curls are sleeping, the hands are sleeping,
Only the noses are sniffling.

Hedgehogs

Three little hedgehogs
Lying on the bed in a row.
Mommy hedgehog is nearby
Says to them quietly:
It's time for you to go to sleep,
To get up early in the morning,
Look like in a clearing,
A white horse in the fog,
Quietly wakes up the clouds.
Like a hushed river
Washes willow branches,
Like mist melts under the sun,
Like dispelling a shadow,
A new day is coming to us.
In the meantime, hedgehogs, sleep,
Fly to the new day in your dreams

Where do colored dreams live?

Where do colored dreams live?
What country are they from?
I'll just lie down on the bed,
I'll close my eyes -
Dreams are colorful, naughty,
Like balloons -
They flicker above me,
They're in a hurry to fly home!
I shout to them: "Wait,
you take me with you!"
Dreams shimmer,
Merge into a mosaic,
Flowers open
And flutter with moths…
– And lo and behold, I am among them!
All in blue clothes!
I'm in a dream and I'm flying!!!
I wish I could tell this to my mother. ..
I'll get up early in the morning,
Sleeping in the sun with a haze,
Disappears in the light of day,
Keeping my miracles.

Who sleeps where

A hare sleeps under a bush,
A frog under a leaf.
A little squirrel sleeps in a hollow,
A worm sleeps in the ground.
And in a hole with a fox sleep
Five red fox cubs.
Crow sleeps in the nest.
A sweet dream wanders everywhere.
The rabbits sleep quietly in a cage.
Sleep, sleep, children.
The two-horned moon sleeps in the sky.
A bear cub sleeps in a den.
Horses doze in the meadow,
Boats sleep on the shore.
The quails sleep in the fields,
The wind sleeps on the poplars.
Fairy tales in a book are sleeping on a shelf.
A fly sleeps behind a shelf in a crack.
Kittens are sleeping near the cat -
They made a bed for them in a basket.
A mouse sleeps with a mouse in a mink.
You sleep in a crib with a book.
Only your angel does not sleep.
He keeps you in your dreams.
Yu.Chichev

Lullaby for the house

The house fell asleep, it is so old,
he was tired of various things,
he closed the shutters on the windows,
he turned gray all over from the smoke.
doors slammed and sang
and dangled in the corners.

The house is dreaming of a forest and a river;

Not only the doors are sleeping in the house
and not only the ceilings,
even the animals have calmed down,
insect beetles.

And the little one is crying in the crib,
he is so afraid of the dark,
that he calls his mother all night,
he is just like you...
Elena Grigoryeva

I had a dream, a wonderful dream
A white elephant walked across the sky,
And a light blue river
Carried an elephant through the clouds.
And there was that elephant, a huge elephant,
Like a weightless swan's down.
And I wanted to fly like an elephant,
And become weightless too...
I woke up, my elephant disappeared,
And dad and mom in unison
They told me: “Your elephant is just a dream!”
Sadly, I went out onto the balcony...
I look, a river is flowing in the distance...
Clouds are floating somewhere...
And an elephant is walking in the clouds!
And this elephant is not a dream at all!
Yeast Village

Mouse Village

A lunar fragment climbed into the sky.
The Mouse Village woke up in the basement.
A whistle was heard inside the locomotive:
a daring mouse-driver is rolling mice.
Noise and mouse mice in the square.
Everywhere they rush for the mouse mouse.
Below, under the mice, a mouse rustles.
A mouser buzzes above the mice.
Learned mice are full of thoughts.
The mouse mentally steals the mouse.
Smart mice, hiding in the shade,
all night they shoot at a mouse with a musket.
But in the morning the lunar shard will fall.
Will fall asleep at dawn Mouse village.
And my mother whispers to me: “Timosha, get up!”
And I will answer her: "I'm sleeping... don't mouse..."

The eyes are sleeping...

All the children are asleep,
They are sniffing softly.
EYELASHES, closed,
They sleep in an embrace. Like shutters closed
EYELIDS near the eyes.
Though the eyes are closed,
But they see now:

In a dream they see the eyes
Fairy tales.
A BROVKI - convoy,
Keep their peace.

Backfill

Our legs told us today:
“We are so tired today,
We jumped so much today,
That we don’t want to do it anymore,
To be jerked again.
We want to lie down, rest,
To start on the road again tomorrow! ” And the pens said:
"We were also very tired,
We dressed, fed and washed,
And also painted,
Do you know how tired we are?"

And each finger said:
“I'm tired too!
I also worked and helped!
Keep a spoon and wash your eyes!
Let us sleep now!”

And the ears suddenly whispered:
“We were tired too,
We spent the whole day
Listening attentively to everyone,
We learned so much…
We would be glad,
If we could get some sleep!”

And the eyes said:
“Oh, how tired we are!
We were so tired that we pinched.
We've seen so much today,
And now we want to sleep,
Let's shut us down!"

And the mouth said and yawned:
“I'm tired too,
I chewed, I bit and screamed.
Let's have a rest soon,
So that tomorrow again
"Good morning" to say!

And the tongue murmured:
“And how much I have told,
He smacked, chugged and growled,
I was also very tired!”

And only the nose said:
“I'm not tired!
You all lie quietly,
Rest and sleep,
And I will protect you,
Breathe and breathe calmly ... ".

The day is over, we are tired...

The day is over, we are tired.
The eyes began to close.
I really want to fall asleep
And stick my nose into the pillow.
It's sweet to sleep under the covers...
His mother tucked him in,
She stroked her son's tuft:
— Sleep, dear, good night!
Put your hands under your cheek,
Sleep sweetly all this night.
Don't let your dreams scare you.
- Sleep, my dear, bye-bye!
Oh, how good to sleep!
Tomorrow will be a day again.
Tomorrow we'll do everything from the beginning
Let's do it again!

Dream wanders along the corridor...

Dream wanders along the corridor...
Dream wanders along the corridor...
At night he came to Egor
And he wanted to dream about him.
Only the boy can't sleep. Dream thought at the threshold,
Decided to wait a bit.
Walked for two hours, yawned,
But Egor didn't fall asleep...

Sleep on a coat rack,
All the flowers on the wallpaper
Counted ten times.
But Egor didn't fall asleep…

Enough! How long can you wait?!
Sleep wandered into his bed.
He's terribly tired!
Lie down and ... dream about himself.
Irina Yaryshevskaya

I have been lying in bed for a long time…

I have been lying in bed for a long time,
Somewhere nearby is my dream.
