Drawing and learning  rhyme "Jack and Jill"

Nursery rhyme drawing

• Recite and share Jack and Jill nursery rhyme

                                  Jack and Jill went up the hill

                                  To fetch a pail of water.

                                  Jack fell down and broke his crown,

                                  And Jill came tumbling after.

• Ask child to say the nursery rhyme with you while drawing their own picture of the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme
• Make sure child understands all the words - up, fetch, hill, pail, crown, etc.
• When child is done drawing, together chat about what was drawn - Where’s Jack?  Where’s Jill? Is the hill very tall?  What would they carry up the hill to go get the water?  How did they get down the hill?  

*Try to encourage child to be specific with this drawing as you are seeing how they listen for details.  Their artistic skills may not show the details but when they talk about their drawing the details are often part of the picture.
