Masih ingatkah kamu lagu berikut ini?
Satu satu aku sayang ibu
Dua dua juga sayang ayah
Tiga tiga sayang adik kakak
Satu dua tiga sayang semuanya
Atau mungkin lagu berikut ini:
Topi saya bundar, bundar topi saya
Kalau tidak bundar, bukan topi saya
Lagu tersebut sangat populer di kalangan masyarakat Indonesia. Lagu-lagu tersebut diciptakan untuk mengenalkan kata-kata kepada anak yang sedang belajar berbicara. Hal ini sangat efektif agar anak dapat mengenal kata-kata baru dengan cara yang menyenangkan.
Di Inggris lagu anak-anak seperti itu juga ada dengan istilah rhymes atau nursery rhymes. Anak dapat mengenal kata-kata Bahasa Inggris dengan rhymes tersebut.
Berikut beberapa contoh rhymes:
1. DING DONG BELL
Ding, dong bell
Pussy's in the well:
Who put her in?
Little Tommy Thin
Who pulled her out?
Little Tommy Stout.
What a naughty boy was that
To drown poor Pussy cat
(Topik dari rhymes ini adalah tentang anak nakal (naughty boy) dan pesan dari rhyme tersebut adalah jangan nakal (don't be naughty).
2. BAA, BAA BLACK SHEEP
Baa, Baa, black sheep
Have you any wool
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Three bags full:
One for my master,
One for is dame,
And one for the little boy that lives down the lane
(Topik dari rhymes ini adalah tentang kedermawanan dan pesannya adalah jadilah orang yang dermawan (be generousity) dan peduli sesama (care others).
3. HUMPTY DUMPTY
Humpty Dumpty
Sat on the wall
Humpty Dumpty
Had a great fall.
All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put humpty dumpty
Together again
(Humpty Dumpty adalah semacam rhymes teka-teki. Humpty Dumpty yang dimaksud dalam rhymes ini adalah telur (egg) yang melambangkan persatuan (unity). Telur apabila telah pecah tidak dapat disatukan atau diperbaiki lagi seperti semula. Pesan lain dalam rhymes ini adalah berhati-hatilah (be careful).

I am only a baby
As you can see;
I can laugh - Ha! Ha! Ha!
I can cry - Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
I know so did you,
When you were a baby too
(Rhymes ini menceritakan tentang bayi (baby). Bayi hanya dapat menangis dan tertawa.

Intinya kita tidak boleh sombong (don't be arrogant) dan hargai orang lain (respect others).

Morning bells are ringing,
