Nursery rhyme webiste?

[miss mopple]

Have just had a development meeting with my mindees parents and we have agreed that we will be focusing on developing the LO's language skills through the use of nursery rhymes and action songs. The thing is, she said they don't know any so need me to teach them too

Does anyone know of any websites where they can download the songs and actions so that I don't have to run classes for parents

Am thinking I will introduce a new rhyme every week or two, and do related activities etc. Mindee has some speech delay and has only just started to join in with copying actions so I am hoping to build his confidence through this and hopefully encourage some language.

Any suggestions or will I have to subject the poor gown ups to my singing ?

Hi - I would just get them to buy a cd of nursery rhymes to listen to whilst in the car, getting ready in the morning etc. They will soon pick them up - even cbeebies (tweenies etc) sing nursery rhymes.

what about the DVD with signing on that Dave is on (makaton nursery rhymes) - if language delay the signing will help and its not a bad dvd for parents to watch too. Ask your DO if they do a loan for special needs DVD's like this, there is limited availabilty in my area.

If you go to Youtube and type in the nursery rhyme you want you will get children singing them and doing the actions

I am sure little one will soon start to copy and maybe mom and dad can try it at home
