Education Activities

It is surprising how few nursery rhymes today's children know. We offer a selection of nursery rhymes that were popular in the 19th century. Children can sing along and do the actions. We give a brief background to the history of the rhymes and then play hand-clapping games such as Mulberry Bush, Oranges and Lemons and perhaps even a march to the Grand Old Duke of York. This activity is more suitable for Years 0 to 3 or 4 but can be adapted to older classes.
