• Ask students, “What is special about nursery rhymes?”
  
  
  • Nursery rhymes have rhyming words, silly words, repeated lines, and are
    sometimes make-believe.
  
  
  
  


• Have students recite a nursery rhyme they know by heart to their
  partner.


• Have students think of their favorite nursery rhyme. Ask them to
  draw a representation of their favorite nursery rhyme. You may wish
  to briefly revisit some of the Flip Book images of earlier lessons to
  refresh students’ memories of those nursery rhymes.


• When students are finished with their pictures, have them share what
  they drew in small groups. You may wish to have the small group
  guess what a student’s favorite nursery rhyme is by looking at his/her
  drawing. Ask students what they like about the nursery rhyme they
  have chosen.


• You may wish to have students dictate the scene they drew from their
  favorite nursery rhyme. Be sure to repeat back to them what you have
  written on their paper.
