Hi all! It's no secret that young children learn a foreign language faster, easier and more productively. However, sometimes they have a hard time: their parents force them to learn the language, and the kids still don’t quite understand why they need to be able to speak English. But it’s up to you to turn your children’s learning into a fun game. A variety of teasers, nursery rhymes and counting rhymes English language will help you easily learn numbers, colors, days of the week, names of animals in English. Counting rhymes for children in English
At 4-5 years old, little ones, with the help of teachers, parents and other family members, begin to learn small rhymes in Russian (Eniki-benniki, We sat on the golden porch, Interest, etc.). Why not teach your child English nursery rhymes. Then he will be able to use them not only at home or in class, but also in real games with other children:
Eeny, weeny, winey, wo,
Where do all the Frenchmen go?
To the east and to the west,
And into the old crow's nest.
Translation:
Yeni, Veni, Vini, Vut,
Where are the French all running?
They run to the west and east,
To the old crow's nest!
Most of these humorous rhymes are devoid of deep meaning, however, using them in games with peers, the baby is simultaneously immersed in the English language. Children's counting rhymes can also be used by adults to resolve disputes between children, in classes, in collective games or when you need to fairly determine who should be in charge. Trust chance!
Very often, inventive children come up with little rhymes themselves, and they are very pretty. But most often the professionals who write rhyming rhymes and teases are children's poets. The ancient rhymes lost their authorship and became popular.
Counting tables have been known since ancient times. In those days, counting rhymes were used by adults to distribute household responsibilities; with their help, they found out who would stay to defend their homes, who would go to war, and what their role would be in the hunt. This was the fate of fate, whose decision was never disputed.
According to another version, our ancestors used these poems for veiled counting, hence the name. In order not to offend the gods or arouse their envy, the ancients counted their booty in an allegorical form. Our ancestors believed that words have great strength, therefore, great attention was paid to pronounced rhymes using non-existent lexemes:
Azi, dvazi, zizi, prize,
Noise, room, oak, cross.
Over time, counting rhymes have lost such significance for adults, and today they are used only by children or only in relation to children.
Why are English counting rhymes needed today?
Children's counting rhymes today are used to establish turns, to indicate to the participants, whoever gets the chance is the one who leads, or vice versa, whoever is the last to remain is the one in charge. By learning rhymes in English, children train their memory and develop a sense of rhythm. English teasers play a significant role in general development children, teaching them foreign language and account:
1, and 2, and 3, and 4
I am sitting on the floor
I am playing with a ball (ball)
And a pretty little doll
Saying rhymes out loud and performing appropriate actions develops children's diction and correct English pronunciation, coordination of movements and fine motor skills fingers. The images that emerge as the story progresses stimulate creative thinking, drawing vivid images in children’s imaginations:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star. (Shine, shine little star)
How I wonder what you are! (It's great that you exist!)
Up above the world so high, (Above the ground so high,)
Like a diamond in the sky. (Like a diamond in the sky)
Nursery rhymes teach a child to interact with peers in the language of society: accept certain rules, act according to them, find compromises. A child who knows a lot of rhymes in English enjoys authority among his peers and often acts as an organizer and leader among children.
Child psychologists also claim that when saying nursery rhymes, kids often touch each other. And this contributes to the production trust relationships within the group and creating a friendly disposition. And having received, as a result of the counting rhyme, a not very pleasant role in the game, the child learns to use volitional efforts.

You need to use all forms: fairy tales, games, poems, songs and, of course, nursery rhymes in English. Counting books are used to learn a language, expand vocabulary, and improve a child’s diction. Counting rhymes can and should be introduced to a child from a very early age.
This genre of oral folk art arose in ancient times. Then, with the help of short rhymes, responsibilities around the house were determined: who should hunt, who would guard the hearth, who would clean, who would cook, who would guard the home. Such rhymes had a sacred meaning, were considered a choice of fate, and no one could challenge the verdict of the rhyme.
Nowadays, children often use counting rhymes in games: when dividing into teams or to determine the leader. We know a lot of Russian-language counting rhymes, but from an early age a child should be introduced to counting rhymes in English.
Advantages of counters:
- Make the language learning process more fun and exciting for the child
- Train your memory
- Develop diction and fine motor skills (when accompanied by gestures)
- I increase my vocabulary
How and when to use counting rhymes:
- At home. Make counting rhymes in English a good tradition. Count with your child when choosing clothes, fruits, candies, and distributing simple household chores.
- Playing with toys. Show your child that you can count, which doll can be given tea first, which car can be taken out of the garage, which bunny can be given a carrot. Then the child will learn to have fun, even if you are not always there
- Playing with other children. Tell your child that often all conflicts can be resolved with an ordinary counting rhyme: decide who will play first and who will play second. Help your child explain this to other children.
