Friends, welcome.

I always say: English should be taught with interest. Everything should be simple, understandable, comfortable, and most importantly – interesting. And one of the most simple ways to learn a language is to learn poetry for children in English language.

About New Year

How to create a New Year's mood? Start learning poetry early. Get ready together for the arrival of the New Year and Santa Claus. I'm sure your child will love it.

New Year's Day, happy day!

We are happy and want to play.

We all dance, sing and shout:

“Welcome New Year's Day!”

December is the best of all,

Snowflakes dance, snowflakes fall.

People see the New Year in,

When December ends, it will begin.

December is the most best month of all.

Snowflakes are dancing, snowflakes are falling.

people celebrate new year

When December ends, the New Year begins.

Something is about to happen.

When we have a big holiday.

New Year usually comes at midnight

And brings us gifts

So sweet and bright.

About animals

The simplest and most interesting activity for a child is to study animals. Combine these rhymes with some interesting game and your child will memorize the material much faster.

I am a little turtle

I crawl so slowly

And I drag my house

Wherever you go.

When I get tired

I hide my head

My legs and tail

And I go to sleep!

From the window of my house

I saw a little mouse

Did she run? Did she jump?

She was laughing? Above what?

lady bird lady bird

your house is on fire,

And your children all gone.

And that's little Ann,

And she has crept under

The warming pan.

Ladybug, ladybug

Fly home.

Your house is on fire.

All your children have flown away

All but one.

Little Ann

She crawled under the heat.

A wise-old owl sat in an oak,

The more he heard, the less he spoke.

The less he spoke the more he heard,

Why aren't all like that wise old bird?

A wise old owl sat on an oak tree.

The more she heard, the less she spoke.

The less she spoke, the more she listened.

Why are we all so unlike the wise old owl?

Who's that ringing at my doorbell?

A little pussycat that isn't very well.

Rub its little nose with a little mutton fat.

That's the best cure for a little pussy cat.

Who is that ringing at my door?

A kitten that is unwell.

Rub his nose with mutton fat,

This is the best medicine for a kitten.

About winter

Poems about winter are popular before the new year. Especially if your school organizes contests and gives kids prizes for telling a verse.

My T-shirt is blue, my hat is pink.

My pants are yellow, my socks are green.

Tell me what do you think about it?

My jacket is purple, my boots are white.

Tell me what do you think about?

My gloves are brown

My scarf is black.

Tell me what do you think about it?

Is she good or bad, what do you think?

Do you like the clothes I'm wearing?

Or do you think I look stupid?

About autumn

Thematic poems about autumn create a special atmosphere. Most often they are asked at school, so here is a selection of interesting and not difficult poems.

Autumn is coming

I see the birds are flying south

And the days are gray and cool.

Do the birds look down at me and see

That I go to school?

Leaves are floating

Some are red and

The wind goes "swish"

through the air;

When you look back

there are no leaves there.

Leaves swaying

descend slowly;

Some of them are red

and some are brown.

The wind is blowing "shhh"

in the air;

When you look back

There are no more leaves.

Little leaves fall slowly

Red and yellow, orange and brown

Spinning around, spinning around

Falling silently to the ground.

Little leaves fall slowly

And a carpet appears on the ground.

Then "shhh" the wind appears, howling,

And raises the leaves in a dance to the sky.

Are these poems suitable for a reading contest? Certainly. They are clear and moderate in complexity.

By the way, recently published new guide for additional English lessons with children lower grades . It is suitable for both classes with a tutor, and for homework with a child. Having briefly studied it, I can recommend it. Fun, exciting and useful!

But how do you remember all this?

Here are some tips.

  • Poems must be translated. When the child clearly understands what these unfamiliar words are about, it will be easier for him.
  • Look for audio verses where you can immediately put the correct pronunciation.
  • The child should be interested. He will not teach because he “needs” or you feel like it. Try to make a learning process interesting game. I blogged a lot about this.
  • Use modern methods of memory development for yourself and children, for example, using a special service Brainapps . I wrote about his cool opportunities and our successes with Milan.

On this I say goodbye.

In the meantime, I am preparing new useful materials for you, you can subscribe to my newsletter so as not to miss anything.

See you soon!

There is very little time left before the New Year, and many Russians have already begun to prepare for it. First of all, we are talking about parents and kindergarten teachers who, in addition to the usual concerns, must also organize New Year's parties and concerts for their children. It is extremely important that such events are fun, as only in this case they will remain in the memory of the child. Short rhymes are a great addition to any matinee and concert, because they can bring a lot of positive emotions to both adults and children.

Only good memories. Leave grief in the past.

(translation)
Hooray! Finally, the New Year has arrived!
So let's celebrate it without worries.
May good luck come to every home
Let us forget all about the bad!

Waiting for the New Year holidays gives parents and teachers great occasion teach children new rhymes. And if you are ready to try hard, then right now is the time when the very process of memorizing lines can turn from a tedious science into a fun game and bring only positive emotions to everyone. So how can this be done?

First of all, I can not name. The child has a new toy, preferably home-made - and with it, the rhyme easily and joyfully learns:

father frost
It is winter, it is cold.
Father Frost is very old.
But he is always full of joy,
And glad to give me a nice toy.

Can you tell your child about new year traditions: For example, New Year's resolutions. Ask the child what good habits he wants to acquire in the new year and what he wants to achieve. After that, the rhyme will be learned like clockwork - all the more, its rhythm just implies lightness:

Hooray! Hooray! It's New Year's Day
by Kenn Nesbitt

Hooray! Hooray! It's New Year's Day!
The day we start new.
So this year I've decided
to become a kangaroo.

Or maybe I will learn to fly,
or how to walk through walls,
or how to turn invisible,
or surf on waterfalls.

I'll make myself elastic
and I"ll teach myself to shrink.
I'll turn into a liquid
and I"ll pour me down the sink.

I'll visit other planets
and meet aliens galore.
I "ll travel to the distant past
and ride a dinosaur.

I "ve got so many wondrous plans.
I"m starting right away.
Yes, this will be the best year yet.
Hooray! It's New Year's Day!

Another great reason to learn a rhyme is to receive it in a letter from your favorite fairy tale character or as an assignment from Santa. Here I would not abuse the length, so I choose short rhymes:

Winter
This is the season
When mornings are dark
And birds don't sing
In the forest and park.

This is the season
When children ski
And Father Frost
Brings the New Year tree.

At the New Year's Day party
New Year's Day, a happy day,
We are all glad and very gay!
We all dance and sing and say
"Welcome! Welcome, New Year's Day!"

Around the New Year Tree
Singing, dancing merrily
Round the New Year Tree,
Merrily, merrily, merrily
Round the New Year Tree.

happy new year my friends
Happy New Year today!
Let us dance hands in hands
I will show you the way.

New Year
New things to learn
New friends to meet
New songs to sing
New books to read.

New things to see
New things to hear
New things to do
In this glad New Year!

Another way to learn poems is to write wishes on postcards. For example, these:

Happy New Year To You
by Joanna Fuchs ()

Happy New Year to you!
May every great new day
Bring you sweet surprises
A happy buffet.

happy new year to you,
And when the new year's done,
May the next year be even better
Full of pleasure, joy and fun.

A few more poems on winter themes: oh and oh.

Good luck preparing for the New Year!

Two pigs


There were two girlfriends
Two funny pigs.
Lived-were-living
And often laughed.

Both songs were composed
Celebrating the New Year together
Dancing, having fun
They circled around the Christmas tree.

Once upon a time there lived
two piglets. Oink-oink, funny pigs.
They liked to laugh
They liked to play
They played funny games
All day, all day.

They wrote merry songs
They saw the New Year in
They danced and had fun.

bunny, bunny,
Runaway.
This boy is interesting.
He carries a carrot
And distributes to the animals
Santa Claus treat,
New Year's luck.

Bunny is generous, good-natured,
The bunny was obedient all year,
He deserved a gift.
I treated my mother to cabbage,
brothers and sisters,
Dad. Here is the child
What does the Snow Maiden set as an example,
Happy New Year!

Hare, hare, little hare
You are so nice.
Little hare brings some carrots
To share them with mice.

Little hare's generous
And deserves a gift.
Father Frost and Snow Maiden
Give him cabbage. If
You are kind, polite and good,
You'll get the most delicious food
On Christmas dinner, sure.
We wish you a Happy New Year!
