Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder what you are.

When he nothing shines upon
Then you show your little light
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Then the traveler in the dark,
Thanks for your tiny spark
He couldn't see which way to go
If you didn't twinkle so.
In the dark blue sky you keep
And often through my curtains peep,
for you never shut your eyes,
Till the sun is in the sky.
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveler in the dark.
Though I don't know what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.

You blink, night star!
Where are you, who are you - I do not know.
You are high above me
Like a diamond in the darkness of the night.
Only the sun will set
Darkness falls on the ground
You will appear shining.
So blink, night star!
The one who spends the night on the road.
I know I can't take my eyes off you.
He would get lost and disappear
If your light did not shine.
In the dark sky you do not sleep
You look out the window at me
You don't close your eyes,
It looks like you're waiting for the sun.
These clear rays
Shine a traveler in the night.
Who are you, where are you - I don't know
But blink, night star!

Mother may I go and bathe?
Yes, my darling daughter
Hung your clothes on yonder tree,
But don't go near the water.

Hang clothes on the bush
But do not go into the pond, no, no ...

If you are a gentleman,
As I suppose you to be,
You'll neither laugh nor smile

Of which we have no doubt
Then you will not giggle,
If they tickle you.
Translation by V. Lunin
Poems and songs in English for children are a great way for adults to learn and improve English. Choose a short song and listen to it 5-6 times in a row, 8 is better). And in a minute you will sing it at ease, reinforcing new phrases, and the day will become happier and more pleasant.
As you know, foreign languages are easiest to learn in childhood. The rhymes we have collected in English for children will be a good helper in this process.
And do not worry if you yourself are not friends with foreign words. You can read these verses with your baby without any problems.
Each verse in English is written with a translation. However, the translation is not exact, as they say word for word, but approximate. This is done to keep the rhyme.
In brackets it is written in Russian letters how to pronounce certain words correctly. Thanks to this, any adult, even if he himself does not know a foreign language, will be able to pronounce all the words more or less correctly without any problems.
By the way, my six-year-old nephew is delighted with teaching English on the computer. You can also try to work with children, this is a very good investment in the future of the child. Now without this it is difficult to get a good job in life) To register for the classes I am talking about, follow this link.
Poems can be found a little lower on this page. We also recommend looking at this topic:
Nowadays, children are taught foreign languages from an early age. And many linguists consider such training to be effective, subject to the right approach to classes. Lessons for children must necessarily take place in the format of the game, which is facilitated by bright educational materials, funny songs, funny quizzes. One of the methods of early "study" is considered poetry in English for children, which helps to quickly memorize words and phrases.
The effectiveness of learning foreign poetry
Before engaging in any activity, you need to understand what benefits it brings. If we talk about the impact of poems with English words for children, then we can highlight several important functions. Among them:
- Formation of interest in the language;
- Memory development;
- Easy and interesting vocabulary learning;
- Practicing the correct pronunciation of words.
In addition, through reading poetry, an initial acquaintance with the grammatical construction of phrases occurs. It is clear that the rhyme will not replace the study of grammar rules, but due to a good example, the child will be able to independently begin to build similar phrases and expressions.
And of course, poems in English introduce children to poetry, instill a sense of the rhythm of the language and teach them to compose rhymes on their own. In a word, the usefulness of this method in teaching a foreign language is undeniable.
Let's get acquainted with the work of English poets and start learning rhymes in English with children.

Working on poems and rhymes allows you to solve a number of practical problems: work out pronunciation, learn and consolidate vocabulary, develop expressive reading skills, form grammatical skills, as well as elementary speaking / listening skills. Poems in English significantly enliven the course of the lesson, increase the activity of students, contribute to the development of their language and creative abilities, relieve fatigue and stress.
For the little ones
Poems in English for kids are a great way to instill a love of the language from early childhood. Learning English poems and rhymes, the child will unconsciously memorize foreign words and grammatical constructions. Tell poems, agreements and nursery rhymes when dressing a child, during games, while swimming, on a walk, on the way to kindergarten, etc.

There are only a few words or expressions in English in such verses. Such material is necessary in order to motivate ordinary children and educate special children, that is, children with special needs.

Putting a blanket under the ponytail.

Enough space for everyone.

And he said, “Thank you! Thank You!"

Rhymes + drawings
In order for the teacher to control the students' understanding of English speech by ear, the degree of possession of their lexical and grammatical material, rhymes are supplemented with drawings. For example, a teacher or one of the students reads a rhyme, while the rest draw its content. Here are examples of such verses:
Draw the sun, a car, a house,
Draw a sea, a boat, a mouse,
Draw a tree, a girl, a boy.
In their hands they've got a toy.
A circle, dots, a mouth, a nose,
Two big ears, a neck, a rose.
Arms, two legs, a body, feet,
What's his name?
His name is Pete.
Draw a table, chairs, lamps,
On the table draw some stamps.
Draw two pictures on the wall
A vase with flowers and a ball.
Draw a stool and a TV set,
A carpet, an armchair and a bed.

They belong to boy called Ted.
What is on the table, Kate?
Some salt, a glass, a fork, a plate.
And what can you see there, Jack?
Spoons, a cup, and a toast rack.
I see knives, a coffee pot,
Napkins, saucers and a teapot.
Work with poems in the lesson
However, poetry can be used in the classroom for more than just a fun way to learn a language. Taking a small poem as a basis, you can do serious work, affecting not only phonetics, but also such aspects of the language as vocabulary and grammar.
Often, work with poetry is limited to only the most common methods: familiarization with new vocabulary, reading a poem by a teacher / students, memorizing.
In the meantime, there are exercises that could revitalize the work with a poetic text and allow students to develop and deepen their knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, as well as activate their thinking and creative skills in an English lesson.
We present you several such examples with translation into Russian and with options for tasks for them.
- Change the Present Simple forms to the Past Simple ones;
- Change the underlined words to the synonyms from the list.
Are ringing loud and gay.
To the hills and forests they are bringing
Sweet melody today.
The bells of spring are ringing,
Are ringing far and wide.
Nice days they are bringing
To the people and the country side. (clamorous, jolly, pleasant, afar, everywhere, beautiful, village)
The bells of spring are ringing
They call loudly and cheerfully.
To the hills and forests they bring
Today sweet melody.
The bells of spring are ringing
They call everywhere.
Good days they bring
People and countryside.
The above verses are designed to work with students in grades 5-6. For high school students, more serious poetry can be used with exercises that include analysis and discussion of the poem.

Hello my beloved readers.
Do you know what was the first thing my daughter learned in English? It was poem for the night Every night before going to bed, she says goodbye to all her toys, and then, already climbing into bed, reads a poem where she says in rhyme "good night" to her parents and those toys with which she sleeps. Unbelievable, but it gives her great pleasure!
So I decided to help you with today by showing you the most interesting and useful way that I know. I have interesting rhymes for children in English for you.
Ready to learn how to teach them with maximum efficiency?
- Look for poems with translation . These are those who study the language for several years in a row, do not need translation. They are already accustomed to thinking in foreign vocabulary. But your kids at the initial stage need to understand what they are learning. Therefore, look for poems with translations to make the learning process much easier.
- Learn and teach correct pronunciation. Even if your baby does not have obvious problems with pronunciation, you still need to listen to how to pronounce words correctly. Pay close attention to what he says. There is no need for something wrong to be driven into his head, which then will have to be long and hard to get rid of. But he tried so hard and taught just like that!
- Interest is above all. Like a prayer I repeat this every day: the child should be interested! Learn everything in a playful way. For example, if you are studying animal rhymes, then find pictures of the animals mentioned and have your child show them as they read. Or depicts an animal. Anything - if only it aroused his interest and sparkle in his eyes!
- Never force. This paragraph is a continuation of the previous one, but still ... never force or torture your children. If the child does not like something - look for another method. He's naughty for a reason. I can tell you from my own experience of working with children: if you find the right approach and teaching method (and to them) - everyone will like English.
And now let's move closer to the topic - our poems! By the way, I give a literal translation, not a literary one, so that the correspondence of the translated words in Russian and English is clearer. The voice acting of each rhyme under it.
So, with the help of such a great method, it is very easy for children to memorize numbers. See for yourself:
One two,
I love you.
Three four,
Touch the floor.
Five six,
We mix and mix.
Seven eight,
This is cool.
Nine ten,
Let's play again!
To make it much more interesting to learn this verse, come up with a movement for each word: let the baby show numbers on his fingers, on the phrase "I love you"- shows a heart, etc.
Poems about the family will help you quickly master the vocabulary of relatives:
Good night mom
Good night dad
Kiss your little son.
Good night sister
Good night brother
Good night everybody!
It is very easy to learn the names of the seasons in this way. And if you combine vocabulary about autumn and words on the topic of color, then you can kill 2 birds with one stone!
Autumn is yellow
Winter is white
Spring is green
Summer is bright! 
Autumn leaves fall down
I'm falling down, falling down
Autumn leaves fall down
Yellow, red, orange and brown!
No sunshine, lots of rain
No warm days, snow again!
No bugs, no bees
No leaves on the trees.
you must remember
It's November!
Time the training to the appropriate ones. For example, learn something about the New Year just before the holiday. Say that in order to receive a gift from Santa Claus on New Year's Eve, you will need to tell a rhyme. Believe me, you will not even notice how quickly your "child" will run to learn a rhyme.
On the topic of holidays, I have prepared for you poems about Christmas and New Year: 
One two Three,
It's a Christmas tree!
Three two one,
Christmas is fun!
Christmas,
Time for fun
Let's go outside and play right now!
If your child loves to listen (and tell!) not only poems, but also much more, then this sound english course exactly for you! Based on the positive reviews of many caring mothers, I can safely recommend it to you too (the rhyme turned out :)). With it, your kids can easily memorize new words and at the same time will do it with pleasure.
Well, let's still digress from thematic verses and try something else.
I see green, I see yellow!.
I see this funny boy.
I see white, I see black.
I see this and this and that!
I see pink. I see brown.
I get up and sit down.
I see red, I see blue.
I see you, you and you.
To learn body parts, play a game using the following verse. Let the kid name the word and show what this word means on himself.
Touch your eyes
Touch your nose
Touch your mouth
Touch your socks
Touch your ears
Touch your hair
Touch your teeth
Sit on a chair...
Well, are you already burning with the desire to start working with your kids?
