Here are 3 links to great Nursery Rhymes and benefits of singing for kids.

Singing with kids increases happiness, emotional well-being and have lots of other benefits including: 

Language skills development - nursery rhymes are important for language acquisition and help with speech development. Repetition of rhymes makes it easy for the children to learn the vocabulary. It is also good for the brain, teaching how language works and building memory capabilities. Nursery rhymes also help with learning to read and spell. 

Maths - Nursery rhymes use patterns and by recognising patterns in language, children are also able to recognise patterns in numbers, which helps with mathematical problem solving. Rhythm in songs can help with learning by memorising number facts. 

Physical development – actions can help with development of movement. Dancing to music helps children build motor skills while allowing them to practice self-expression.

Social skills - they are entertaining and singing in a group encourages social bonding, and singing groups form friendships more quickly than in other group activities.

Here are links to two great websites and we hope you have fun singing with the kids:
