A long time ago, in the old days, adults used counting rhymes to fairly distribute responsibilities among each other. However, then this genre of folklore migrated to yard games, becoming an indispensable part of them. “Aty-bats...”, “They sat on the golden porch...”, “Eniki-beniki...”, “The month came out of the fog...” - familiar, isn’t it? These funny rhymes help children choose who to lead or leave the circle. However, many mothers and fathers do not even realize how many varieties of nursery rhymes there are:
- Numbers - as the name suggests, with numerals and counting words. Very often they begin with incomprehensible lines that you need to puzzle over - first-born/friends, ene/bene, etc.
- Abstruse - written in a fictitious language and resembling funny gibberish.
- With a choice - the child who stopped at needs to choose a word to complete the rhyme next time.
- For elimination - with an indication at the end not of the driver, but of the eliminated player.
- Cumulative (aka narrative) - without counting and abstruse expressions, but with a coherent plot.
Now look what poems we have prepared for your children so that they can throw their gadgets aside and happily run outside for active games!
