What can be done as a follow up activity after teaching a rhyme?

Composing

The learners can also try to compose their own songs , chants and rhymes. Even young learners can fairly quickly learn to write their own jingles.

Telling stories

Many rhymes and chants and poems are elliptical and too condensed to be appreciated without some introduction. The simplest way of drawing the learners in is to tell the piece as a story first. In his/her introductory story, the teacher can relate the content of the chant,poem or the rhyme using familiar language and familiar experiences. The rhyme becomes a summary of a story that the learners understand and enjoy.

Painting pictures

The children can draw or paint their own pictures to illustrate the story and show what they understood. They can try to tell the class what they have put in their pictures, compare the pictures and notice the differences.
