Roll A Rhyme

This nursery rhyme Ed-Venture is a great way to help your child develop their language and communication skills, while you have a fun sing-song together. And, it’s easy to fit this extra bit of exciting learning into your routine - it’s perfect for after dinner, or when you have the family together.

Nursery rhymes are a genius way of teaching your children communication skills at a young age. While enjoying singing along to their favourite tunes, children are able to pick up words that they may not hear at school or in everyday language - words such as ‘fetch’ and ‘pail’ in Jack and Jill.

Nursery rhymes also introduce alliteration, for example ‘Goosie Goosie Gander, onomatopoeia such as ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’, as well as creative imagery and plenty of scenes for them to imagine. For this ed-venture, we’re providing you with a super fun Nursery Rhyme Dice, to put a spin on the classic sing-song session.

It only takes 5 minutes to prepare your Nursery Rhyme Dice. You will need:
