Poetry seems one of the easiest ways to teach kids various concepts such as those about the alphabets, counting, opposites, animals, etc. The reason is because the rhyming words and short sentences make it easy for the children to grasp what is being taught.
Apart from that using various actions excite young children, as they recite kids poems.
The following are some cute kids poems that can be taught to the young ones… Old Mother Goose
When she wanted to wander,
Would ride through the air
On a very fine gander.
Mother Goose had a house,
It was built in a wood,
Where an owl at the door
For a sentinel stood.
Two Little Sisters
Two little sisters went walking one day,
Partly for exercise, partly for play.
They took with them kites which they wanted to fly,
One a big centipede, one a great butterfly.
Then up in a moment the kites floated high,
Like dragons that seemed to be touching the sky!
Chinese poem for kids
Who Has Seen the Wind?
Who has seen the wind?
Neither I nor you,
But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through.
Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I,
But when the trees
Bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by.
Dreaming
In my dreams
The cars are stars
That drive across the sky.
In my balloon
I reach the moon
That lights me from on high.
Then up I float
In my magic boat
Across the cloudy sea.
And fly my kite
In the velvet night,
Gently flying free.
The Wind
I saw you toss the kites on high
And blow the birds about the sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies’ skirts across the grass -
O wind, a-blowing all day long,
O wind, that sings so loud a song!
