Journaling with Mother Goose

If you're putting together a Mother Goose/nursery rhyme unit for you kinders, don't forget these fantastic journal prompts from The K-Crew! We created several printable worksheets of our favorite activities to make integration a snap, but we didn't make one for every prompt, so make sure to visit the full post for more ideas!

Humpty Dumpty & His Fall. Invite your students to get into the nursery rhyme with this fun prompt and printable! Your kiddos will get in touch with their artistic side, drawing a picture of Humpty Dumpty's great fall, and use their imagination to write about what happened to all the pieces. As an extension to the journal prompt, consider having your students create these fantastically fun egg shell sculptures!

Humpty Dumpty Sequencing. Invite your students to "dissect" the rhyme, capturing the main events {in the proper sequence!} through illustration and a brief description with this printable. For a more guided approach, provide your kiddos with descriptions to cut and paste in the appropriate spots.

Rhyming Pairs. As a culmination to your study of Mother Goose and nursery rhymes, invite your students to create their own rhyming pairs, drawing a picture of items that rhyme {i.e. leg/egg, vest/nest, etc}. Use this printable or one of your own, inviting your kiddos to get some extra printing practice by scripting the words under the pictures as well.
