The 30 most beautiful nursery rhymes for children
Repeating songs and nursery rhymes to the puppies at home is one of the most loved activities by mothers and babysitters all over the world: children like to listen to rhyming words, perhaps at specific times during the daily activities of the day such as when taking a bath or you go to bed.

The importance of nursery rhymes to raise intelligent and curious children
Not only math and reading are important to stimulate the child and increase his skills. Nursery rhymes and songs have an equally important value because thanks to their rhythm they teach children the structure of language: thanks to them it will be easier for the little ones to distinguish the sounds, words and musicality of the language.
While reading by the grown-ups, we often change the voice to get into character, for example a funny voice to give voice to the animals of a story or a more serious voice to impersonate the villains of the fable. This identifying and repeating it aloud causes children to memorize the variations in the tone of voice and then be able to replicate it in turn when they are ready to read independently.
Children's songs are also essential for making the child understand the correlations between words, in fact they get used to imagining, even before hearing it, the word that naturally follows another. If you think about it it is truly a formidable skill to learn at an early age, which will be important in order to be able to apply it at school in understanding texts.
The curiosity and intelligence of children is developed because through the songs it is possible to fly with the imagination!
Finally, a nursery rhyme for a child means much more: it means an intimate moment with the mother before falling asleep, a happy memory with the babysitter / educator and therefore the song is a great way to create an emotional bond with the child. adult.

10 Nursery Rhymes by Gianni Rodari
Let's start with nursery rhymes for children conceived by a great writer. For Gianni Rodari, children were spokespersons of great truths and deserved to be listened to.
1) The cicada and the ant
I apologize to the ancient fable
if I don't like the stingy ant
I'm on the side of the cicada
that the most beautiful song does not sell ...
give!
2) Children, learn to do difficult things
It's hard to do hard things:
speak deaf,
show the rose to the blind.
Children, learn to do difficult things:
shake hands with the blind,
sing for the deaf,
free the slaves who think they are free.
3) Como in the dresser
Once an accent
out of distraction he fell
on the city of Como
turning it into a dresser.
Imagine the citizens
comaschi, poor people:
said and done they found each other
locked up in drawers.
Fortunately a schoolboy
he reread the poem
and freed the prisoners
deleting the accent.
Now to the public gardens
they dedicated a bust
"To him who knows how to put
accents in the right place ".
4) All animals
I would like it someday
to be able to speak
with all animals.
What do you think?
Who knows what brilliant speeches
they know how to do horses,
what funny stories
they know parrots,
the crocodiles, the snakes.
A simple hen
who lays the egg every morning
who knows what it means to us
with his cock.
And the elephant, so big and fat,
he must know a lot
more than his trunk:
but who understands it
when does it tick?
Not even the cat
can tell us anything.
Ask him how he is
does not answer you at all.
Or - at most - say "meow",
which perhaps means "hello".
5) The first day of school
The bell rings;
sweeps, sweeps the janitor;
the janitor comes to open the door;
the teacher comes from the station;
Mom comes, oh schoolboy,
to get you out of bed ...
The sun comes into the room:
come on, the vacation is over.
Put the pen in the case,
the sanitary napkin in the notebook,
points the pencil
and run to write your life.
Write well, without haste
a page every day.
Write words straight and clear:
Love, fight, work.
6) The country of holidays
The Country of Holidays
is not far away at all:
if you look on the calendar
you can find it easily.
Occupies, between June and September,
the most beautiful season.
You get there after exams.
Passport, the report card.
Every day here is Sunday,
but we work a lot:
between games, dives and walks
he never rests.
7) For mom
Nursery rhyme of words
whoever wants to come forward.
My head is full of words
with "the moon" and "the whale" inside.
But the most beautiful in my heart
I hear them beat: "mom", "love".
8) Spring nursery rhyme
Spring nursery rhyme
the longer the day,
sweeter in the evening.
tomorrow perhaps in the grass
the first violet will emerge.
Oh first fresh and new viola
blessed is the first who finds you,
your perfume will tell him,
spring has come, it's here.
The other gentlemen don't know
and still in winter they will believe:
maybe important people,
but their calendar is running late.
9) After the rain
After the rain comes the clear sky
the rainbow shines in the sky.
It is like a flagged bridge
and the sun passes us celebrated.
It's nice to look up
its red and blue flags.
But you can see it, this is bad
only after the storm.
It wouldn't be cheaper
the storm don't do it at all?
A stormless rainbow,
this would be a party.
It would be a celebration for the whole earth
make peace before the war.
10) The reverse fairy tales
Once upon a time
a poor wolf,
which he carried to his grandmother
dinner in a bundle.
And in the middle of the woods
where "is darker
ran into the terrible
Little Red Riding Hood,
armed with a trombone
like the brigand Gasparone,
What happened then,
you guess it.
Sometimes the fairy tales
they happen on the contrary
and then it's a disaster:
Snow White sticks on the head
the dwarves of the forest,
Sleeping Beauty does not fall asleep,
the Prince marries
an ugly stepsister,
the happy stepmother,
and poor Cinderella
remains a spinster and does
guarding the pot.
The 5 most beautiful Christmas nursery rhymes
Christmas is one of the most magical moments of the year, so here are some ideas for learning beautiful Christmas songs with your children.
1) Santa Claus in red suit
Santa Claus in red suit
leaves every child always amazed
with his gifts and presents
always fantastic, always special!
Santa Claus with a white beard
works at night and does not get tired;
fly up there with the reindeer
bring for all the gifts and presents!
2) Christmas is coming
Snow falls, falls from the sky
and lightly, lightly covers with a veil
houses and buildings, streets and paths,
sharp roofs and black chimneys.
There is no noise, everything is silent
I listen to my heart: feel what peace!
Christmas is coming, set the mood
feel true peace in your heart!
3) Santa Claus by Patrizia Nencini
I am a very special dad
my name is Santa Claus!
The dress I'm wearing
is of a vibrant red color.
Hat, boots and belt
complete my figure.
When I look in the mirror
I see the face of a handsome old man.
I live at the Polo between snows and bears
along with many plump gnomes.
By the dim light of a light bulb
I read my mail until morning.
In the room of surprises
I wrap gifts from the first of the month.
I have a nine reindeer sleigh
and I ski on the snow laden with gifts.
Not to hear the north wind
I cover everything with the wool scarf.
I arrive in the city in the dark night
I leave the reindeer for a new adventure.
I climb quickly onto the roof
then I slide slowly into the fireplace:
in the house all is silent
and with the lights out, peace reigns.
The Christmas tree is bright:
I put the toys on and walk away silently.
After a treat and a nap
I leave every child's home.
In the morning, all alone,
wake up the reindeer and ... off to the Pole!
During the trip I greet everyone:
the small, the large, the beautiful and the ugly!
I arrive home with a bit of trouble,
I lie on the bed and sleep for a year.
I dream of a magical and special night ...
time has passed: it is already Christmas!
4) Santa Claus by Monique Hion
In a stork's nest
Santa Claus dreams
a lighted tree
an enchanted child
a happier day
a quieter world.
Dream under the stars
all the most beautiful things.
In the heart of his dream,
do you know who there is?
A gift all to yourself.
5) Merry Christmas
But what if he really came?
If the prayer, the letter, the desire
expressed like this, mostly for fun
was taken seriously?
If the kingdom of fairy tale and mystery
would come true? If by the fire
the gifts were found in the morning
the doll the revolver the train
the cat the teddy bear the lion
that none of you bought?
If your beautiful security
in science and in the goddess of reason
went to cards forty-eight?
With unforgivable lightness
perhaps we trusted too much.
What if he comes seriously?
Silence! O Baby Jesus
please walk slowly
in crossing the living room.
Woe to you if you wake up the boys
what a disaster it would be for us
so educated so smart
patented disbelievers
we who believe in who knows what
with our atoms with our rockets.
Take it easy, Child, if you can.
