Preschool Songs and Nursery Rhymes Lists


Nine categories of preschool songs and rhymes and activities for you to integrate into your children's day.



If necessary, use this search box to refine your search:

Web www.shirleys-preschool-activities.com



Once your children know a few rhymes, you will find them repeating the verses spontaneously and all you will need to do is expand their repertoire.

In our home, we often begin the school day with a song from our Babies Bible Class CD or from our Sing the Word CD, which is part of the Sonlight curriculum we are currently using (2005-2006). Very often we sing while clearing up after breakfast- its fun!

Nursery rhymes that will emphasise the letter of the week are provided in the weekly lesson plans in ABC Fun & 1-2-3 . A rhyme per week is also integrated into the Sonlight K curriculum. Use these or any other rhymes or songs that you or your children choose to memorise for the week, or until they know them well.

Hump[ty Dumpty








Games with Rhyme


1. Ask your child to pick the odd non-rhyming word from a list of rhyming words that you say out loud. For example, cat, sat, mat, pot, rat, hat.

2. Play ‘I spy’ with rhyming words as clues. For example: “I spy with my little eye something that rhymes with mat.” The child must guess that you are looking at the hat.

3. Say a nursery rhyme that your child knows, but leave out the rhyming word and ask him to fill in the word you miss. For example: You say, “Hickory dickory dock, the mouse ran up the …” The child must say “clock”.

4. Pick an object and see how many words you and your children can think of that rhyme with the name of the object. For example: Box – fox, locks, socks, rocks

Rhythm Activities


Ask the children to tap the rhythm of a song, rhyme or poem. They can clap, tap with an object like a spoon, play on a drum, and shake a shaker (or a bottle filled with rice). Help them to identify the accented beats.


Preschool Fingerplays


Children love fingerplay verses and rhymes as they combine words with actions, expressed by using their fingers and hands. These also provide the opportunity to increase the manual dexterity and coordination of children whilst encouraging them to use their imaginations.

Five Little Mice

Round and Round the Garden
Here’s the Church


This Little Pig (use fingers or toes)

All the way home.

This little finger on my right.

Round and Round the Garden

Round and round the garden (circle your finger on the palm of child’s hand)
Goes the teddy bear
One step, two steps (walk your fingers up her arm)
Tickle him under there. (Tickle her armpit)

Here's the Church

Here's the church, and here's the steeple
Open the door and see all the people.
Here's the parson going upstairs,
And here he is saying his prayers.

And she brought him a hat of the very, very best,
And the soldier put it on!

For I have a wife of my own!

And when they come to a hedge – they jump over!
And when they come to a slippery space –
They scramble, scramble, scramble,
Tumble-down Dick!

Girls and Boys, Come Out to Play

Girls and boys come out to play
The moon is shining bright as day.
Leave your supper and leave your sleep,
And come with your playfellows in the street.
Come with a whoop and come with a call,
Come with a good will, or come not at all.
Come let us dance on the open green,
And she who holds longest shall be our queen.

Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush

Here we go round the mulberry bush

They were neither up nor down.

Tea-time Rhymes


Tea for Two
I’m a Little Teapot
Polly Put the Kettle On
Wash the Dishes
One, Two, Three


In our home, we drink tea often throughout the day. I was amazed one day that when I asked my children to sing a song about tea, that each child thought of a different song and now it has become a tea-time ritual! My 3 year old sings ‘Tea for two’, my five year old sings ‘I’m a little tea-pot’ and my 7 year old chooses “Polly put the kettle on.”

Tea for Two

Tea for two and two for tea,
Me for you and you for me.

These are the incomplete lyrics of a song that I cannot remember! Please contact me if you know the full song!

I’m a Little Teapot – do the actions too

I’m a little teapot short and stout
Here’s my handle (place one hand on hip)
Here’s my spout (bend other arm at elbow and wrist to make a spout)
When I see the teacups
Here I shout:
“Pick me up and pour me out!” (bend over sideways towards the spout)

Polly Put the Kettle On

Polly put the kettle on
Polly put the kettle on
Polly put the kettle on
We’ll all have tea.

Sukie take it off again
Sukie take it off again
Sukie take it off again
We’re all gone away.

Wash the Dishes

Wash the dishes, wipe the dishes
Ring the bell for tea.
Three good wishes, three good kisses,
I will give to thee.

One, Two, Three

One, two, three
I love coffee,
And Billy loves tea.
How good you be,
One, two, three,
I love coffee,
And Billy loves tea.

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star


Wee Willie Winkie

Upstairs and downstairs in his night gown
Knocking at the windows
Crying at the lock.
“Are the children in their beds?
It’s past eight-o-clock.”

Hush, Little Baby

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Papa’s going to buy you a mockingbird
If that mockingbird won’t sing
Papa’s going to buy you a diamond ring
If that diamond ring turns to brass
Papa’s going to buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
Papa’s going to buy you a billy goat.
If that billy goat won’t pull
Papa’s going to buy you a cart and bull.
If that cart and bull turn over,
Papa’s going to buy you a dog called Rover.
If that dog named Rover won’t bark,
Papa’s going to buy you a horse and cart.
If that horse and cart fall down,
You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

And the moon sees me.
God bless the moon,
And God bless me.

My Grandfather’s Clock

My grandfather’s clock
Was too large for the shelf
So it stood ninety years on the floor.

Though it weighed not a penny weight more.

Of the day that he was born
And was always his treasure and pride
But it stopped short never to go again
When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering
Tick tock tick tock
Its life seconds numbering
Tick tock tick tock
It stopped short never to go again
When the old man died.
