  • Using rhymes and repetition strengthens memory skills. Children remember phrases and patterns; this helps with their cognitive development.

 

Baby Rhyme Play

 

  • Listening and hearing rhymes, repeating them to new words and phrases in a memorable way.
  • Hearing the smaller sounds and words helps build phonemic awareness – a key skill to help them to learn to read.

 

Play Time Rhymes

 

  • As we invite them to follow along and join in, they develop active listening and attention.
  • Rhymes help children imitate as we model the correct pronunciation, intonation and rhythm in speech.

 

Play Rhymes

 

  • As we share songs and rhymes together, we recite with each other, strengthening our connection.
  • Using the characters and visuals sparks imagination and encourages playful interactions.

 

Rhymes

 

  • Visuals help children understand the meaning of the rhymes more fully by giving context to the words.
  • Associating a character with a rhyme helps children remember the words and storyline more easily. It supports memory.
  • Characters can evoke feelings- funny, silly or comforting – this strengthens the bond with the rhyme.
