Ring-a-ring o'roses,
A pocket full of posies,
Hush-ha! Bush-ha!
We all fall down.
*****************************************
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little star
How I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.

The wheels on the bus go round and round,
Round and round, round and round.
The wheels on the bus go round and round,
All day long.
The people on the bus go up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
The people on the bus go up and down,
All day long.
The horn on the bus goes toot toot toot,
Toot toot toot, toot toot toot.
The horn on the bus goes toot toot toot,
All day long.
The bell on the bus goes ding ding ding,
Ding ding ding, ding ding ding.
The bell on the bus goes ding ding ding,
All day long.
Importance of nursery rhymes
Nursery rhymes are being sung, recited, mimicked, enacted, and learnt for ages. Singing nursery rhymes enhances a child's reading and learning ability. It makes the child more confident. Learning and reciting nursery rhymes improve the memory and the language skills from early age. Sing the lullaby, 'hush-a-bye, baby' to your toddler and read out the poem, 'Mary had a little lamb', to your child.
After singing the rhymes, it is time to make your own rhymes. Challenge your child's intelligence and see if he can come up with a great poem. Let your child challenge the famous Mark Twain quote which says, "Anybody can write the first line of a poem, but is a very difficult task to make the second line rhyme with the first.
Learning nursery rhymes is an important pre-school activity. A child will never forget how many days are there in each month after learning the poem, 'thirty days of September'. Learning seven days of the week would not be difficult after learning the poem, 'Solomon Grundy born on a Monday'. Counting from one to ten would be the easiest task for your child if he knows the poem, 'one two three four five', by heart.
