8. After hearing today’s poems and questions and answers, do you have
   any remaining questions? [If time permits, you may wish to allow for
   individual, group, or class research of the text and/or other resources
   to answer these remaining questions.]

On Stage

• Tell students that they are going to dramatize—or act out—“One, Two,
  Buckle My Shoe.”


• Remind students that nursery rhymes are short poems enjoyed by
  young children. Playful repetition of the nursery rhymes can help them
  remember the words.


• Remind students that sometimes nursery rhymes talk about things
  that can really happen; other times, nursery rhymes talk about make-
  believe things.


• Ask students, “Does this poem talk about real things or make-believe
  things? How do you know?”
  
  
  • This poem talks about real things because someone can really buckle
    their shoes, close the door, pick up sticks, etc.
  
  
  
  


• Split the class in half, or you may have partner pairs work together.
  One half will say the numbers and hold up the numbers with their
  fingers, and the other half will say the next line and do the motions for
  that part. Then they will switch roles.


• You can repeat this activity and ask students to put stress on the
  rhyming words.
