This is little funny family song, an original nursery rhyme song lyrics, in simple English language, for XXI century children, babies and toddlers. It was written by a loving father of two, with kids participation, on a melody of children's song that we published earlier [1]. This song included into free printable children's mini book download [2] and is a basis for Nursery Rhymes Children's cartoon video collection [3], see publication references below.
The majority of classical nursery rhymes were written in eighteen and nineteen centuries. A number of these rhymes have lyrics associated with values of a mankind of long long time ago [4]. This is why lyrics of vast majority of traditional poems and songs for young children are not easily understandable by twenty first century kids and have little appeal for modern kids in Contemporary Society.
We can hardly name a single classical nursery poem or classical nursery song addressing the major feelings of major value for every child being, an essence of love to mother, father, brother, sister, grandparents, and family values. This is where our simple words of love (all of basic baby English vocabularly) are rhymed as an original "Mommy and Daddy Love their Baby!" or "Babby, Daddy and Mommy!" poem. This lyrics is easy to understand by a baby or toddler, and is a direct appeal to self of babies and toddlers. As a result this simple nursery rhyme is an attraction for every child that parents and educators can use and reuse as a foundation for unlimited family word games.
Once the lyrics of this nursery rhyme is memorized, we welcome one of the parents to encourage a child to make a variation of a poem by finding words of love addressed to other parent, grandparents, other family members and family pets. Important thing to remember is that teaching parent should encourage child expression of love to other parent and be a continuos primer of it. One can not enforce natural flow of feelings based magical words of love, but should not miss recording these words once his or her child voiced these feelings! Similarly, this can be a creative teacher assisted in-class engaging learning activity for children at a day care center, nursery school or an elementary school home work assignment. When your kid loves what he or she has written, we welcome you to publish your edition of this poem (or our other poems) as a Rhymes for the Nursery journal poetry masterpiece, see information for authors for details. Such interactive engagement will certainly rocket every child imaginative expression of feelings and self-confidence.
To assist parents and educators further, we developed a simple crossword puzzle of words in this original nursery rhyme, and report here cute letters and word games for children, easy for beginners and those who learns English as a Second Language (ESL). Interestingly, no alphabet knowledge or reading skills are required to play our nursery rhymes games, as these games are rather English letters and ABC's comparison challenge. Playing such mind games will help developing every child ability to focus, and will be a funny workout to improve concentration, attention, creative thinking and problem solving skills.
