“Drink water, remember the source,” short, rhythmic poems not only nourish children’s souls but also bridge generations, helping them love their mother tongue more. I remember days of old, reading poems to the kids in the neighborhood, and they loved it! There were poems about cats, dogs, flowers, and grass… they memorized them all and recited them after me perfectly. Poems for preschoolers are a magical world, aren’t they?
The Magical World of Rhythmic Poetry for Preschoolers
Poems for preschoolers are usually short, easy to remember, and easy to recite, with bright and familiar language. The rhythm of poetry is like a gentle lullaby, helping children develop language skills, musical sense, and nurture love for everything around them. Ms. Nguyen Thi Lan, a renowned preschool expert in Hanoi, wrote in her book “Beloved Poetry Garden”: “Poetry is a priceless gift for children’s souls.” Indeed, it is!
Choosing the Right Poems for Your Child
Choosing poems that are appropriate for your child’s age and interests is very important. For children under 3 years old, poems about animals, toys, or simple natural phenomena will easily capture their attention. For older children, you can choose poems with richer content that help them develop thinking and imagination. For example, my child loves the poem “The Grasshopper.” Every time I read the line “Grasshopper grinds rice for whom?”, he laughs heartily. Instrumental songs for kindergarteners who still remember school are also a great choice for children to learn and play at the same time.
Some Great Short Poems for Children
Below are some short, rhythmic poems suitable for preschoolers:
- The Cat: “Meow meow meow, the lovely cat. White fur, round eyes.”
- The Shadow: “Shadow Shadow Shadow, follows me everywhere. Follows in the morning, follows at night.”
These poems are short and easy to remember, helping children become familiar with language and develop memory skills. According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Van Hung, a linguistics expert, in his book “The Language of Children”: “Poetry plays an important role in the development of children’s language and thinking.” He also emphasized the importance of reading poetry to children regularly.
Tips for Teaching Children to Learn Poetry
When teaching children to learn poetry, you should read poems with a cheerful, expressive tone, combined with lively illustrative actions. This will make children more interested in learning and memorize poems faster. In addition, you can also show your child pictures or preschool folk dances based on the poem’s content to help them easily visualize and feel the poem’s content. Don’t forget to praise and encourage your child when they can recite the poem!
