Spun around in a circle,
Around in a circle,
Around and around." |
Rhymes that invite a child's active participation have been popular since ancient times. They help young children to develop coordination and emergent literacy skills. In this book, parents and teachers will find rhymes about Shabbat, the Jewish holidays, and Jewish traditions. Some of them are based on traditional fingerplays such as Whoops, Johnny and Where's Thumbkin. Others are completely original. All of the rhymes were created to promote and enhance Jewish identity in preschool children.
