[Margaretha Palone]

Soit is the first verse of this song that people know, and those are the words that I sing whenever I sing this song, but I recently found out that there are actually 5 verses, so I will give you all 5 verse lyrics here, but as I said I only ever sing the first verse.

So, what is the tune for this nursery rhyme? With all of the songs in this post, as soon as you hear it I am sure it will be familiar and you will remember singing it with your parents or with friends in your school days, but here it is:

This song is thought to have a historical context, and it is widely believed that it is all about the Great Fire of London which took place in 1666. Is this true? Well it is definitely about a fire running through the English capital city, but no one is 100% sure that The Great Fire of London was the inspiration for the nursery rhyme.

There are several theories about the origin of this nursery rhyme. Some theories suggest that the Mary of the song may be the Virgin Mary, the bells being the sanctus bells (small hand-held bells used in Catholic services mainly to make a joyful noise giving thanks to God); other theories suggest that the Mary in question may be either Mary I of England or Mary Queen of Scots.

This is such a fun, silly nonsense song to sing with your little ones, with cows jumping over moons, laughing dogs and household items running off into the sunset. What is not to enjoy about this song?

My next post on this topic will give you 10 Lullabies to Sing With Your Baby, to give you ideas for somewhat calmer songs to help soothe your baby off to sleep. Once I have posted that blog post I will update this to include a link.

Children for generations have enjoyed their parents, or grandparents, saying or singing nursery rhymes to them. The comforting rhythm of the verses means that even at a very early age, babies recognise familiar nursery rhymes.

Some of the most traditional nursery rhymes have meanings which are irrelevant and pretty meaningless in this modern day and age, but still the rhymes live on from generation to generation. Some are clearly educational, teaching little ones to count and increase their vocabulary along the way.

There are a lot of benefits of teaching your child or baby nursery rhymes from a young age; one being their cognitive development. The repetition found in the rhymes are good for your little one's brain and teaches them how language works while also building on their memory capabilities. In addition, nursery rhymes also help to develop inferencing skills - both when encountering new words and in reading comprehension later in life.

Baby nursery rhymes are also really important to your little one's speech development. They can help young children develop auditory skills such as being able to tell the difference between sounds and develop the ear for the music of words. Rhymes like the ones listed below also help children to articulate words, practise pitch and volume, and enunciate early by saying them over and over again.

One, two, three, four, five

Once I caught a fish alive.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten

Then I let it go again.

Why did you let it go?

Because it bit my finger so.

Which finger did it bite?

This little finger on my right.

Sing a song of sixpenceSing a song of sixpence a pocket full of rye,

Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie,

When the pie was opened the birds began to sing,

Oh wasn't that a dainty dish to set before the king?

The king was in his counting house counting out his money,

The queen was in the parlour eating bread and honey,

The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,

When down came a blackbird and pecked off her nose!

Some of your earliest fond memories of childhood are probably listening to a bedtime story or hearing your parents sing you a lullaby before you fell asleep. These short, but sweet songs tend to stay with us forever. When you have a baby, you find yourself churning out all your old favourites and you are surprised you still remember every word.

Singing your child a lullaby as part of their bedtime routine is not only a lovely way to soothe them to sleep but it helps with bonding which is an important process after labour. Lullabies have even been found to reduce pain and calm babies breathing patterns, especially in pre-term and premature infants.

As they get older and begin to sing, singing along to nursery rhymes with your little one brings them an enormous amount of enjoyment, teaches them something new, as well as being the perfect activity for some bonding time. Even at a young age, just by listening and interacting with new words, sounds, and actions will contribute to helping their memory and speech development.

If you've found yourself in a lullaby rut and are struggling to find new songs to sing, then we have rounded up the best traditional and more modern lullabies to send your little one to sleep. Your baby won't care if you have the voice of an angel or not, but if you don't want to sing, we've included YouTube links, and lyrics so you'll never forget the words!

Whether it's Mary Had a Little Lamb, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or This Little Piggy, most nursery rhymes are the same ones our grandparents (and perhaps their grandparents) sang as children, too. The reason these popular rhymes have endured is because of the way they engage some key developmental benefits with young children.

The nursery rhyme: The made up, strange-sounding words make singing this rhyme so much more fun for kids! You can find different variations of the lyrics like this one, featuring a little piggy and a tiger.

The nursery rhyme: This is certainly one that your grandparents remember. As a historical fun fact, this rhyme happened to be the first audio recorded by Thomas Edison, shortly after he invented the phonograph in 1877.

The nursery rhyme: Ranking among the most recognisable English nursery rhymes, Little Miss Muffet is a short, simple classic. Plus, it's a good reason to use the word 'tuffet,' which in this context refers to a small grassy hill.

The nursery rhyme: First published in the 1840s, this one of the most traditional English nursery rhymes is often used as a singing game where kids move around in a circle and use their hands to imitate the activities specified in verses.

The nursery rhyme: This nursery rhyme can be used to teach the little ones about the joy of sharing and helping. Almost two-and-a-half centuries old, the melody is the same as the well-known Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star and it derives from a variant of Ah! Vous diraije maman.

The nursery rhyme: Introduce simple counting with these five naughty monkeys that just can't stop jumping on the bed and falling off it! Gotta love these educational nursery rhyme songs!

Please note: here at Famly we love sharing creative activities for you to try with the children at your setting, but you know them best. Take the time to consider adaptions you might need to make so these activities are accessible and developmentally appropriate for the children you work with. Just as you ordinarily would, conduct risk assessments for your children and your setting before undertaking new activities, and ensure you and your staff are following your own health and safety guidelines.

Nursery rhymes may just seem like a bit of fun, a way to spend time and interact with your children or just a quick and easy way to distract them but the truth is nursery rhymes have so many more benefits for your child, both in the long and the short term and are incredibly powerful influencers in pre-school development.

Nursery rhymes have a lot more to offer than just entertainment value. They introduce babies and children to the idea of storytelling, promote social skills and boost language development. They also lay the foundation for learning to read and spell. Generally, children who will become good readers enjoy listening to speech, storybooks and nursery rhymes.

Key Benefits

Children are excited to learn about individuals who live in shoes or a cow who can jump over a moon. Nursery rhymes help your child learn to have a vivid imagination filled with colourful characters and various languages. There are also a number of key skills / development areas that can be influenced by simple nursery rhymes.

"Monday's Child" is one of many fortune-telling songs, popular as nursery rhymes for children. It is supposed to tell a child's character or future from their day of birth and to help young children remember the seven days of the week. As with many nursery rhymes, there are many versions. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 19526.

Monday's child is fair of face,

Tuesday's child is full of grace.

Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go.

Friday's child is loving and giving,

Saturday's child works hard for a living.

But the child that is born on Sabbath day,

Is bonny and blithe, good and gay.[1]
