10 Short Nursery Rhymes for Children

Short nursery rhymes are a perfect way to practice early reading skills with toddlers and preschoolers. Children learn to read at their own pace, and there is no need to hurry this process along. But providing a strong foundational base in language, both written and oral, is extremely important.

By reading or singing short nursery rhymes out loud, you’ll be helping your child develop their memory, work on phonological awareness, and lay important groundwork for raising readers.

If you think back to your own childhood you’ll realize how many of these rhymes you know by heart, decades after you first heard them.

Kids love repetition, and after hearing these words over and over they will come to recognize them and enjoy them even more. When they start to anticipate the next line, young children will feel the sense of pride that comes from being “with it.”

Nursery rhymes are a fun and easy way to help your child develop important cognitive skills, while bonding with them at the same time. That’s a win win.

Here are 10 short nursery rhymes for toddlers and preschoolers.

Star Light, Star Bright

Star light, star bright First star I see tonight I wish I may, I wish I might Have this wish I wish tonight

Jack Be Nimble

Jack be nimble Jack be quick Jack jump over The candlestick

Mary Mary Quite Contrary

Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary How does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockle shells And pretty maids all in a row

A Tisket A Tasket

A tisket, a tasket A green and yellow basket. I wrote a letter to my love And on the way I dropped it. I dropped it, I dropped it And on the way I dropped it. A little boy he picked it up And put it in his pocket.

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Baa Baa Black Sheep Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full. One for the master And one for the dame. And one for the little boy Who lives down the lane.

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill Went up the hill To fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down And broke his crown And Jill came tumbling after.

London Bridge

London Bridge is falling down Falling down Falling down London Bridge is falling down My Fair Lady.

Ring Around the Rosie

Ring around the rosie A pocket full of posies Ashes! Ashes! We all fall down.

Wise Old Owl

A wise old owl lived in an oak. The more he saw the less he spoke. The less he spoke the more he heard. Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?

Humpty Dumpty

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the King's horses And all the King's men Couldn't put Humpty Together again.

The History of Nursery Rhymes

Nursery rhymes often have interesting (and sometimes rather dark) stories behind them.

While your toddler is too young to care about history (to be fair, if I was a toddler I would only care about goldfish crackers too!), it’s really interesting to research the origins of these refrains.

Some stem from a significant historical event. Others were written as a sort of code – for example, if someone wanted to criticize the government, but was too afraid to do so outright.

Nursery rhymes have the distinct advantage of being easy to remember. This is why they’re great for young kids – and this is also why they were so important historically! Nursery rhymes could easily be spread through word-of-mouth, which was very important in populations of people who were illiterate.

If you’re interested in reading more about the stories and meanings behind some famous nursery rhymes, this post is really interesting.

Nursery Rhymes for kids lay the foundation to early language and reading skills. Children who are frequently read and sang to early on, are much more likely to develop strong reading skills.

After using poems to teach kids how to read over the past 17 years, I have found nursery rhymes to be the most effective tool. I’m so excited to share this list of the nursery rhymes for kids with you. They will build vocabulary, fluency, expressive and receptive language, rhyming skills, and expand the kids’ imagination.

There Was An Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe Lyrics

This fun, classic nursery rhyme, inspires young children to use their imagination. The kids say this is a funny nursery rhyme because how can an old lady actually live in a shoe. They ask questions such as “how many little boys live in the shoe?”, and “Is there a little girl?” While you may want to work on more thorough reading comprehension questions, and focus on learning new words, this is a fun poem for kids of all ages.

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.

She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.

She gave them some broth without any bread.

Then, whipped them all soundly, and put them to bed.

How to teach nursery rhymes?

- read a short verse once and tell the child its meaning, explain all incomprehensible words;

- read the verse to the child slowly and with expression several times;

- then you read the beginning of the line, and the child says its ending or last word;

Short poems about winter for children 3-4 years old

In December

One dull gray day
The earth was covered with silver.
That's the joy of the kids
Winter comes in December.

(L. Schmidt)

I am December

I am December, the eldest son,
Master of ice and snow.
I am not afraid of work,
I work day and night:
I sprinkle snow on the ground,
I cover the rivers with ice,
So that the children do not get bored
In these winter days,
To safely get
Sledges, skis and skates!

(N. Zubareva)

I am January

I am January, I am the middle son,
Master of the fierce cold.
Come on, kids, don't be lazy,
Run without a break,
Otherwise, I won't regret it,
I'll turn you all into ice cubes!
Haven't you heard the threat
About Epiphany frosts?
Cover your cheeks and nose,
The frost will bite them!
And I'm all windows
I decorate with curtains -
Lace curtains
With white patterns!

(N. Zubareva)

January

With shining stars,
With a clear moon.
January galloped to us
On a white horse.
Jumped off the horse at the gate
And then the New Year came.

As usual in January…

As usual in January
A lot of snow in the yard,
But the trouble is not great -
We are making a snowman!
(L. Samonina)

February

In February, in February
A blizzard rushes on a broomstick,
Sweeps all the ways,
So that March doesn’t pass,
If you don’t pass, you won’t come
And you won’t bring spring! . .
(M. Sadovsky)

Me - February son,

I am a blizzard master.
I'll chill you all with the wind,
I'll spin you in a snow whirlwind,
I'll cover your faces with snow
I'll drown you in snowdrifts,
I'll pour snow indiscriminately
And into pockets, and behind the collar!
Not afraid of kids!
Don't leave the yard!
Baba rolls snow
And playing with might and main in the snowballs!
(N. Zubareva)

First snow

Quietly, as if in a dream,

Spinning in the sky

First snow

And whispered:

— How long have I not flown!

(V. Lanzetti)

Snow falls on houses

Snow falls on houses:

Winter has come to us again!

Brought it in a knapsack

Blizzards and snowstorms,

Cold, snowdrifts, ice

And, of course, the New Year!

(M. Druzhinina)

Down the snow

Children on a sled down the snow

Rushing down the hill like the wind.

Who is afraid to fall into the snow -

Let him not sit on the sled.

(Yu. Garey)

The first snow

— Look, guys,

Cotton wool covered everything around!

And in response there was laughter:

— It was the first snow.

Only Lyuba disagrees:

— It’s not a snowball at all —

Santa Claus brushed his teeth

And scattered the powder.

(I. Bursov)

Winter has come
At night the wind howled like a wolf

And beat on the roof with a stick.

In the morning they looked out the window,

There was a magical movie:

She rolled out a white canvas,

She sketched bright stars

And hats on the houses

The winter brought them down.

(V. Fetisov)

Where do they take snow in trucks?

Where is the snow transported in trucks?
Probably in hot countries
His children are given
gifts for the New Year,
They will receive full bags -
And everyone will run to play snowballs!

Snowballs don't reach,
They melt in the hot sun,
And only puddles here and there. ..
Where do they take snow in cars?
(I. Tokmakova)

A wonderful picture

A wonderful picture,
How dear you are to me:
White plain,
Full moon,

Light of high skies,
And shining snow,
And a lonely run sleigh

(A.Fet)

Snowflake

Sat on my mitten
Light snowflake
And fluffed up like a bird
Ice back.

I froze quietly,
So as not to fly away.
Soon my mitten
Will become white-white.

(T. Shorygina)

We made a snowball

We made a snowball,
We made the ears later.
And just
Instead of eyes
We found coals.
The rabbit came out as if alive!
He has a tail and a head!
Mustache
Do not pull -
They are made of straws!
Long, shiny,
Just real!

(O. Vysotskaya)

Biting bitter frost

Biting bitter frost,
It is dark outside;
Silver frost
Pushed up the window.

(I. Nikitin)

Winter

Dandelion of snowflakes

will bring winter to lips,

only blow - and fluffs

will fly up ...

Dandelion will fly around,

in the windows,

Winter evening exposes

White stars to the palm.

(T. Shorygina)

Like on a hill

Like on a hill - snow, snow,
And under the hill - snow, snow,
And on the tree - snow, snow,
And under the tree - snow, snow.
A bear is sleeping under the snow.
Hush, hush. Keep quiet!
(I. Tokmakova)

Winter has come

Winter has come

silvery,

White snow has covered the clean field

.

Happy skating with children

everything rolls around,

At night, in the snowy lights

crumbles ...

Writes a pattern in the windows

with ice needles

And knocks on our yard

with a fresh Christmas tree.

(R. Kudasheva)

In the winter in the forest

Namelo,

Navyuzhilo.

All trees

In lace:

Snow on the pines,

On the bushes,

Spruces in white coats.

And tangled in the branches

Stormy snowstorms.

(Alexander Prokofiev)

Winter has come

Winter has come merry

With skates and sleds,

With powdered ski tracks,

With a magical old fairy tale.

Decorated Christmas tree

Swinging lanterns.

May the winter be cheerful

It won't end any longer!

(Valentina Lanzetti)

Bullfinches, titmouse!

Ah, my dears
Bullfinches, titmouse!
I made a feeder for you -
Help yourself, birds.
(I. Ageeva)

Bear, bear!

Bear, bear!
What's wrong with you? Why do you sleep in winter?
Because snow and ice -
Not raspberries and not honey!
(V.Orlov)

Three

On a snowy meadow

Me,

Winter

And sleds.

Only the earth

Snow will cover -

We are going to three.

Having fun in the clearing —

Me,

Winter

And sleds.

(A. Bosev)

Mittens

She sculpted a snow woman
Light in the garden herself,
Only fingers froze,
Winter froze.
Andrey came up to his little sister,
Says seriously to her:
- When you put on mittens,
It will be warmer for your fingers.

Sveta put on mittens,
This helped immediately:
Svetina's hands warmed up
It became warm for her fingers.
(Agniya Barto)

First snow

I open the doors

I can't believe my eyes:

The whitest, cleanest,

The very first snowfall

Making a hill for the kids!

- Come out! - shouts Oleg, -

It snowed, the first snow!

Call Yegorka soon,

Let's run up the hill now!

(Vladimir Lifshits)

Herringbone

Not a leaf, not a blade of grass!

Our garden has become quiet.

And birches and aspens

They are boring.

Only one Christmas tree

Cheerful and green.

Clearly, she is not afraid of frost,

Clearly, she is brave.

(O. Vysotskaya)

Snow everywhere

Snow everywhere, houses in the snow —
Winter brought him.
She hurried to us as soon as possible,
She brought us bullfinches.
From dawn to dawn
Bullfinches praise winter.
Santa Claus, like a little one,
Dancing at the mound.
And I can also
So dance in the snow.

(A. Brodsky)

Magician

Frost is a magician!

You can see it right away:

I haven't opened my album yet

But it's already

No brushes,

No paints

All windows

Painted for us overnight!

(Sergey Kozlov)

In December, in December

All trees are in silver.
Our river, as if in a fairy tale,
Frost paved during the night,
Updated skates, sledges,
Brought a Christmas tree from the forest.
The tree cried at first
From the warmth of the house,
Stopped crying in the morning,
Breathed, came to life.
Her needles tremble a little,
The lights on the branches lit up.
Like a ladder, a Christmas tree
Lights run up.
Flappers shine with gold.
He lit a star with silver
He ran to the top of his head
The most daring light.
A year has passed like yesterday,
Above Moscow at this hour
The clock of the Kremlin tower strikes
Its salute - twelve times!
(Samuil Marshak)

Who meowed at the door?

Who meowed at the door?

— Open soon! —

Very cold in winter.

Murka wants to go home.

(O. Vysotskaya)

Snowman

Come on, my friend, be brave, my friend,

Roll your snowball through the snow.

He will turn into a snowball,

And he will become a snowman.

His smile is so bright!

Two eyes, hat, nose, broom.

But the sun will bake a little -

Alas! - and no snowman.

(Ivan Bursov)

Snegurochka

At the entrance, on site

I collected the snow with a shovel.

Although there was not much snow,

I made a snow maiden.

I put it in the corridor,

But it… melted!

(Yu. Shigaev)

Skis

I don't get bored on a winter day:

I quickly put on my skis,

I take two sticks in my hands,

I play tag with the breeze!

Grandfather Frost

Walking in the street
Grandfather Frost,
Frost scatters
Along birch branches;

Shakes his white beard,
Stomps his foot,
There is only crackling.
Ile breathes on the windows
Smoky huts
Yes, he writes patterns,
Looking at the guys.

(S. Drozhzhin)

Snow

Snow, snow is spinning,
The whole street is white!
We gathered in a circle,
We spun like a snowball.
(A. Barto)

The sled rolled down!

The sled rolled down!
Hold on tight, doll,
You sit, don't fall,
There's a groove ahead.

Sledge on its side - and into the snowdrift.
Oh, the doll's forehead was broken!
Where is cotton wool, where is iodine?
Why isn't the doctor coming?

The doll is no longer sick,
She doesn't need a bandage,
We can do the doll again
Ride the sled down the hill!

(O. Vysotskaya)

Winter before the holiday…

Winter before the holiday
For the green Christmas tree
White dress itself
Sewn without a needle.

Herringbone with a bow
And stands the most beautiful of all
In a green dress.

Green suits her,
Elka knows it.
How she is on New Year's Eve
Well dressed!

(T. Volgina)

Glorious, wonderful New Year!

Father Frost

Father Frost, though old,

But he is naughty like a little one:

Pinches his cheeks, tickles his nose,

Wants to grab his ears.

Santa Claus, don't blow in your face,

Enough, you hear,

Don't spoil!

The New Year is coming

The horn is shining for a month,
Thick snow is falling,
Christmas trees are dressed up
In shiny needles,
Someone is pinching our nose,
This is Santa Claus,
And the clock is running forward,
The New Year is coming.

(E. Erato)

Golden rain is pouring

Golden rain is pouring,
Flowing from the Christmas tree.
Admire her:
Here she is!
Everything sparkles and blooms
Bright lights.
Invites you to dance
Have fun with us.
New Year is on the way,
will come to us soon.
Brighter, Christmas tree, shine
You are a joy to children!

(N. Radchenko)

Santa Claus is carrying gifts

Beautiful snowflakes
Descending from heaven.
And the forest, as in the picture,
Full of wonders.
Through the New Year's forest,
Hiding his nose behind the collar,
Lucky gifts are sweet
Grandfather Frost is for me!

Magic tree

Magic Christmas tree in the hall,
It took us a long time to decorate it:
Beautiful beads, balls,
And a lot of colored tinsel!

Hello New Year

New Year is coming soon!
Santa Claus will come to visit.
There will be joy, laughter, gifts,
The tree will sparkle brightly.
Let's become a friendly round dance -
Hello, hello New Year!

I'm so tired today!

I'm so tired today!
I decorated the Christmas tree with my mother!
Dad walked side by side,
He led us.
How many balls on the Christmas tree
And painted toys!
Needles smell of holiday
Coniferous forest twigs.
The lights on it flicker,
Like a round dance,
All the children in the world know:
The best holiday is the New Year!

Grandfather Frost is coming!

One, two, three, four, five,
We will all dance.
After all, today is the New Year,
Grandfather Frost will come!

Snowflakes

Whirling and laughing

New Year's snowstorm.

The snow wants to fall,

But the wind does not.

And the trees have fun,

And every bush,

Snowflakes, like laughter,

Dancing on the fly.

Santa Claus is good

Santa Claus is good
Claps his hands,
Walks in felt boots,
Lights the Christmas tree!

Santa Claus from a winter fairy tale

Santa Claus from a winter fairy tale
Carried a sleigh to us for a holiday,
Toys on those sleighs:
Dolls, balls, crackers.
