Module 12 National Humour Module 8 Limericks & Nursery Rhymes “Nursery rhymes” is really a generic term. It covers a variety of poems for kids—the lullabyes, counting games, clapping songs, finger & toe games, riddles and rhymed fables that introduce us to the rhythmic, mnemonic, allegorical uses of language in songs sung to us by our mothers and other elders. The usage of such poems only dates from the late 18th/early 19th century and in North America the term "Mother Goose Rhymes", introduced in the mid1700s, is still often used. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nursery_rhyme http://poetry.about.com/od/nurseryrhymes/tp/nurseryrhymevarieties.htm 1.

In the English language, the bulk of commonly used nursery rhymes date from the 16th-18th centuries, with some originating in Europe and others, such as Humpty Dumpty. Typically, a nursery rhyme has simple vocabulary and a catchy rhyme. Children can quickly learn to sing along with a nursery rhyme, and nursery rhymes are often used to help young children build their vocabulary. Counting is often integrated into nursery rhymes as well, so children also can learn to count using
