Flannel Friday: Counting Nursery Rhymes

I am doing my Family Early Literacy Time (a family storytime, craft and extension activities with the focus on an early literacy skill) on Saturday. My theme is counting for learning numbers and sequencing, which also builds narrative skills, vocabulary, print awareness, comprehension skills, background knowledge, etc.

I love nursery rhymes and especially counting nursery rhymes. I used clipart for this one.

 

Early in the morning at 8 o'clock

You can hear the postman's knock, knock, knock;

(I add extra knocks because they are a fun sound to make)

Up jumps (insert child's name) to answer the door,

1 letter, 2 letters, 3 letters, 4!

I found this nursery rhyme in Clare Beaton's Playtime Rhymes for Little People. I also used her illustration as inspiration for my felt cherries

One, two, three four,

(Insert child's name) at the cottage door.

Five, six, seven, eight,

Counting cherries on her plate.
