Making a fun day of celebrating nursery rhymes for kindergarten is amazing if you plan a dress up day. Something as simple as a dress up day can make an engaging fun celebration for kindergarten. So check out a few of the activities we did in kindergarten for our amazing nursery rhyme dress up day.
WOW! Check out the cool props for Nursery Rhyme Dress up Day! Yep! These were a few of the things the kiddos made to use to recite their favorite Nursery Rhyme. Can you guess a few of their favorites from the picture? We had so much fun for such a simple day!
The students worked on remembering and practicing their favorite Nursery Rhyme! They had to create a simple costume and perform in front of the class!
How we celebrated Nursery Rhyme Dress Up Day
Yep, we celebrated with new crayons donated by a friend. Here they are with their crayons to take home…you can see a few of the costumes!
I was so surprised to watch them do their rhymes from memory…ALONE!
One student refused to come into the room and hid under the table! He was so nervous. Once he watched his friends, he joined the group. Then we said his rhyme all together and what do you know?…he performed for the class! Check out the cat and the fiddle from Hey, Diddle Diddle!
Check out the performances we recorded on @Seesaw to send home with to the parents! It was as if they were at the performance! I love to use seesaw.me as a free resource to show parents the cool things that happen in our room. You can also post the videos on a Seesaw blog to share with connected classes or other parents.
We also graphed our favorite nursery rhyme and talked about graphs! This is a perfect way to discuss more and less for math. Check out some other fun phonological awareness skills that go with a special nursery rhyme.

What a terrific idea for a day! In my classroom, my English learners could really benefit from some additional practice in speaking and listening. Nursery rhymes are just the trick!
