LKG Rhymes for Kids

1. Introduction

My Twin babies Prathiksha & Priyanka are studying in the Lower Kinder Garden (LKG) at Velammal Matriculation School, Muggappair, Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

The School has given them a Rhymes CD , I thought if I create a Podcast with the lyrics ,it would be easy for us to teach them. This is how this idea sprang up.
As things went on fine and the Podcast has also come good, I thought it will be useful for all parents like me to their kids. Hope this small podcast is of some use to you all.

I hear thunder, I hear thunder

Up on high, up on high,
See the sun is shining, See the sun is shining
I'm quite dry, I'm quite dry.

8. One little cloud

One little cloud in the sky so blue,sky so blue,sky so blue,
One little cloud in the sky so blue,
One more came along and then there were two.
little clouds dancing in glee,
called to another cloud and then there was three.
little clouds all ready to pour,
The next one joined them,and then there were four.
litte clouds spread out in the sky,
The last one raced along and then there were five.
little clouds threw down the rain,
Pitter-patter fell the rain.(repeat the line)

(Tune Row, row , row your boat) Grow, grow, grow your plants,
Grow, with lots of care,
Carefully, carefully, place your plants,
where they get plenty of air.
Grow, grow, grow your plants,
Growing can be fun,
Carefully, carefully, place your plants,
where there is the sun.
Grow, grow, grow your plants,
Do not let them spoil,
Carefully, carefully, place your plants,
In a healthy soil.
Grow, grow, grow your plants,
One more thing to do,
Carefully, carefully, give your plants,
Lots of water too.

10. Bananas are my favourite fruit

Bananas are my favourite fruit,
I eat one every day.
I always take one with me,
When I go out to play.
It gives me lot of energy,
To jump around and run.
Bananas are my favourite fruit,
To me they are much fun.
