The Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe

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;

She kissed them all soundly and sent them to bed.

The old mother rabbit in our book had 26 kids and each of their names started with a letter from the alphabet and rhymed with the place where they slept- Abel slept on the table. Rae slept in the hay...
We tried to rhyme each of our names with a place where we could sleep- it wasn't easy. 

We also used shoe shapes to make our own little shoe houses. Some of us added windows, doors and other decorations to our "houses". We also added  little people shapes for children.

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. 

Jack and Jill Obstacle Course...

Up the hill, pull the rope to fetch a pail of water and then fall (or jump;) and tumble...

Who Let the Dogs Out?

These nursery rhymes are all about dogs!

Where, oh where has my little dog gone?
Where, oh where can he be?
With his tail cut short and his ears cut long,
Oh, where, oh where can he be?

How much is that doggie in the window?

The one with the waggely tail.

How much is that doggie in the window?

I do hope that doggie is for sale.

And last, but not least...

Old Mother Hubbard went to her cupboard,

To get her poor dog a bone.

But when she got there, her cupboard was bare.

And so, her poor dog had none.

We played "Doggie, Doggie, Where's Your Bone?"

We took turns being the doggie with a bone. While the doggie slept, someone came and took his/her bone. The doggie had to try and guess who took it.

Besides being a great game for cooperation and taking turns, it was just plain fun!
