Nowadays, children are taught foreign languages ​​from a very young age. Linguists note the high effectiveness of early learning, provided the correct approach to classes is used. Lessons for children must be held in a game format, which is facilitated by bright educational materials, funny songs, and funny quizzes. One of the methods of early “study” is considered to be poetry in English for children, which helps them quickly memorize words and phrases. We’ll talk about them in today’s material. We will present simple English rhymes for kids, teach colors in poetic form with preschoolers, and learn the basics of present simple with primary school students. Let's start exploring!

Before you engage in any activity, you need to understand the benefits it brings. If we talk about the impact of poems with English words for children, we can highlight several important functions. Among them:

• Formation of interest in 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 structure of phrases occurs. It is clear that a poem will not replace learning the rules of grammar, but thanks to a clear example, the child will be able to independently begin to construct 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 short, the usefulness of this method in teaching a foreign language is undeniable. But how to instill in a child a thirst for knowledge?

To maintain interest in classes, show children that English is a lot of fun. Act out scenes, read poems based on roles, explain words with gestures, dance and sing, but in no case force you to practice. The parent should interest the child in English, and not force him to cram words that the child does not understand by heart.

Don’t forget about your own positive example, because children imitate their parents in many ways. Show sincere interest, use English words more often in conversations, watch films with original dubbing, and your child will be drawn to learning a foreign language.

Taking into account the tips given above, let's turn theory into practice: let's get acquainted with the work of English poets and start learning rhymes in English with our children.

English rhymes for kids 4-5 years old

This section contains short rhymes on various topics: poems about spring and colors; greeting, description of the family, humoresques, etc. These funny quatrains are easy to learn, so any child will quickly remember them.

All English poems are presented with translation, and to help mothers who do not know the language, the works are provided with a transcription of the pronunciation in Russian letters. Note that poems in English for children are better remembered when the child understands what is being said and can retell the content in his own language. Therefore, in many works the translation is not literal, but adapted to the structure of the Russian language.

For example, first-graders master the alphabet, colors, numbers, and animal names. Poems about spring or winter in English are also suitable for elementary school. And at the age of 9-11, children are already actively studying grammar, so works on the conjugation to be, present simple, interrogative sentences, irregular verbs, etc. are relevant for them.

Doing each your best.	They weave diligently.
Spring is coming, spring is coming,	Spring is coming, spring is coming,
Flowers are coming, too;	And the flowers bloom
Pansies, lilies, daffodils	Pansies, lilies, daffodils
Now are coming through.	Almost everything is already here.

All around is fair;	And beauty all around
Shimmer, quiver on the river,	The fast river flickers;
Joy is everywhere.	Life is beautiful everywhere, friend!

Granny's Cat and Rat

I know a little Penny,

Little Penny Brown.

She lives with her granny

In a little town.

She lives with her granny

And with a black cat.

The cat loves Penny,

Granny loves a rat!?

Oh! That's my fault! I'm sorry!

Let me tell you a new story.

Little Penny Brown.

She lives with her granny

In a little town.

She lives with her granny

And with a black cat.

Granny loves Penny,

The cat loves a rat!

That cannot fly:
Penguin is its name.
It cannot fly
But it can swim
With speed that wins it fame!

And waddles by the sea.
It looks so cute
In its black-and-white suit,
As handsome as can be!

My Best Friend Is My Dog.

My best friend is white and brown,

He barks to get up, he barks to get down.
His tongue is long and very pink,
It hangs out when he wants a drink.

My best friend sleeps on my bed.
He pants and growls and licks my head.
Mum gets angry when he leaves hairs,
On my pillow and on the stairs.

My best friend cannot talk,
But he loves his daily walk,
He sniffs at trees and grass and slugs,
He chases butterflies and bugs

My best friend has a wet nose,
He hates being washed with the hose,
Daddy chases him around the place,
Me and Mum laugh at his face.
My best friend is not a cat,
He is not a horse, and he’s not a rat,
He is not a bird and not a frog,
My best friend is my dog!

My little puppy
Can jump up high
He can also
Chase his tail
He loves to fetch
The ball I throw

And he plays

Three bags full;

And one for the lady,
And one for the little boy

Pussy cat

One day pussycat sees a little mouse. She says,

"Come, little Mouse, come and stay with me,

I’ll give you bread and cheese for tea.”

But the mouse is very clever. She says,

"No, little cat,

I can't come and stay.

My dear mother does not let me play.”

And the mouse runs away.

I think mice
Are rather nice.
Their tails are long,
Their faces are small,
They haven't any
Chins at all.
Their ears are pink,
Their teeth are white,
They run about
The house at night.
They nibble things
They shouldn't touch
And no one seems
To like them much.
But I think mice
Are nice.
