Mother Goose and Nursery Rhymes Activity Pack

Many of us can remember a favorite Nursery Rhyme from our childhood. As preschoolers our caregivers read them to us, we sang them on the playground, and later learned to read them ourselves! Nursery Rhymes are a wonderful way to support pre-readers as they develop essential skills such as rhyming, retelling stories, and learning speech patterns.

This pack includes the following activities:

This 49-page Mother Goose & Nursery Rhyme activity pack includes activities from many childhood favorites. From Humpty Dumpty to Hey Diddle Diddle, the activities in this pack will provide you with plenty of activities for Tot Trays, Learning Centers or file folder games.
As with my other activity packs, these activities focus on strengthening Pre-k skills such as Colors, Shapes, Counting, Uppercase & Lowercase Letter Matching etc.
