Reading nursery rhymes to your kiddo is fun. Your child gets to learn something that you probably learned from your parents that they learned from their parents and so on. Now, it’s time to take nursery rhymes to the next level. Add some movements so it’s even more fun to say it over and over again!
Hickory dickory dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one,
The mouse ran down,
Hickory dickory dock.
Additional verses:
Two…and down he flew,
Three…the mouse went “Whee!”
Four…the mouse said, “No more!”
You can take turns with your child being the clock and the mouse. First, the clock stands tall while the mouse runs his or her hands up the clock. Add a favorite stuffed animal to play the part of the mouse and heighten the excitement! Just a word of caution: this may tickle!
