Hello my beloved readers.
Do you know what was the first thing my daughter learned in English? It was poem for the night Every night before going to bed, she says goodbye to all her toys, and then, already climbing into bed, reads a poem where she says in rhyme "good night" to her parents and those toys with which she sleeps. Unbelievable, but it gives her great pleasure!
So I decided to help you with today by showing you the most interesting and useful way that I know. I have interesting rhymes for children in English for you.
Ready to learn how to teach them with maximum efficiency?
- Look for poems with translation . These are those who study the language for several years in a row, do not need translation. They are already accustomed to thinking in foreign vocabulary. But your kids at the initial stage need to understand what they are learning. Therefore, look for poems with translations to make the learning process much easier.
- Learn and teach correct pronunciation. Even if your baby does not have obvious problems with pronunciation, you still need to listen to how to pronounce words correctly. Pay close attention to what he says. There is no need for something wrong to be driven into his head, which then will have to be long and hard to get rid of. But he tried so hard and taught just like that!
- Interest is above all. Like a prayer I repeat this every day: the child should be interested! Learn everything in a playful way. For example, if you are studying animal rhymes, then find pictures of the animals mentioned and have your child show them as they read. Or depicts an animal. Anything - if only it aroused his interest and sparkle in his eyes!
- Never force. This paragraph is a continuation of the previous one, but still ... never force or torture your children. If the child does not like something - look for another method. He's naughty for a reason. I can tell you from my own experience of working with children: if you find the right approach and teaching method (and to them) - everyone will like English.
And now let's move closer to the topic - our poems! By the way, I give a literal translation, not a literary one, so that the correspondence of the translated words in Russian and English is clearer. The voice acting of each rhyme under it.
So, with the help of such a great method, it is very easy for children to memorize numbers. See for yourself:
One two,
I love you.
Three four,
Touch the floor.
Five six,
We mix and mix.
Seven eight,
This is great.
Nine ten,
Let's play again!
To make it much more interesting to learn this verse, come up with a movement for each word: let the baby show numbers on his fingers, on the phrase "I love you"- shows a heart, etc.
Poems about the family will help you quickly master the vocabulary of relatives:
Good night mom
Good night dad
Kiss your little son.
Good night sister
Good night brother
Good night everybody!
It is very easy to learn the names of the seasons in this way. And if you combine vocabulary about autumn and words on the topic of color, then you can kill 2 birds with one stone!
Autumn is yellow
Winter is white
Spring is green
Summer is bright! 
Autumn leaves fall down
I'm falling down, falling down
Autumn leaves fall down
Yellow, red, orange and brown!
No sunshine, lots of rain
No warm days, snow again!
No bugs, no bees
No leaves on the trees.
you must remember
It's November!
Time the training to the appropriate ones. For example, learn something about the New Year just before the holiday. Say that in order to receive a gift from Santa Claus on New Year's Eve, you will need to tell a rhyme. Believe me, you will not even notice how quickly your "child" will run to learn a rhyme.
On the topic of holidays, I have prepared for you poems about Christmas and New Year: 
One two Three,
It's a Christmas tree!
Three two one,
Christmas is fun!
Christmas,
Time for fun
Let's go outside and play right now!
If your child loves to listen (and tell!) not only poems, but also much more, then this sound english course exactly for you! Based on the positive reviews of many caring mothers, I can safely recommend it to you too (the rhyme turned out :)). With it, your kids can easily memorize new words and at the same time will do it with pleasure.
Well, let's still digress from thematic verses and try something else.
I see green, I see yellow!.
I see this funny boy.
I see white, I see black.
I see this and this and that!
I see pink. I see brown.
I get up and sit down.
I see red, I see blue.
I see you, you and you.
To learn body parts, play a game using the following verse. Let the kid name the word and show what this word means on himself.
Touch your eyes
Touch your nose
Touch your mouth
Touch your socks
Touch your ears
Touch your hair
Touch your teeth
Sit on a chair...
Well, are you already burning with the desire to start working with your kids?
I really hope that this tutorial will help you speed up the learning process. And also I will be glad if you share the results and your experience in the comments.
And so that you don’t miss anything interesting, I created a subscription to English sweets. Thus, you will be able to keep abreast of the latest news from the world of learning this beautiful language.

And a horse and cart together,
Five churches and bell towers -
And still dissatisfied!

13. Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.
Like a diamond in the sky
When the blazing sun is gone
When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks for your tiny spark
He couldn't see which way to go
If you didn't twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep
And often through my curtains peep,
for you never shut your eyes,
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveler in the dark.
Though I don't know what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
How I wonder what you are.
How I wonder what you are.
Translation into Russian "Twinkle, twinkle, little star".
You blink, night star!
Where are you, who are you - I do not know.
You are high above me
Like a diamond in the darkness of the night.
Only the sun will set
Darkness falls on the ground
You will appear shining.
So blink, night star!
The one who spends the night on the road.
I know I can't take my eyes off you.
He would get lost and disappear
If your light did not shine.
In the dark sky you do not sleep
You look out the window at me
You don't close your eyes,
It looks like you're waiting for the sun.
These clear rays
Shine a traveler in the night.
Who are you, where are you - I don't know
But blink, night star!
Lyrics from the song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" with translation

Mother may I go and bathe?
Yes, my darling daughter
Hung your clothes on yonder tree,
But don't go near the water.

Yes, baby, run...
Hang clothes on the bush
But do not go into the pond, no, no ...

15. If you are a gentleman
If you are a gentleman,
As I suppose you to be,
You'll neither laugh nor smile
At the tickling your knee.
If you are a true gentleman,
Of which we have no doubt
Then you will not giggle,
If they tickle you.

On a farm three little friends
Don't want to go to bed.
Why not come and play with me? -
The moon calls overhead.
The little cow jumps over the moon,
Laughing as she leaps.
The night is full of magic games
To play before she sleeps.
The little lamb leaps lightly through
The quiet evening air.
He swings upon a star and sprinkles
Stardust everywhere.
A cotton-candy cloud makes
Piglet giggle with delight,
Bouncing gently up and down.
He wants to play all night!
“We’ve had such fun” – the babies said.
“But now our mommies miss us.
The three friends tumble to the beds
For goodnight hugs and kisses.
Three little friends on the farm
They don't want to go to bed.
Why don't you come and play with me?
The moon is calling them.
The cow jumps over the moon -
Laugh how she rides!
The night is full of magical games
For her to play before bed.
The lamb easily jumps through
Quiet night air.
It spins around the star and splashes
Stardust everywhere.
Because of the cotton candy cloud
Piglet giggles with delight
Bouncing gently up and down.
He wants to play all night.
We had so much fun - say the kids -
But now our mothers miss us.
Three friends fall into their beds
For kisses and hugs at night.
