When it comes to small children who study in the kgs school, the best way to make them learn anything is by making them listen to rhyming words. The rhyming element makes it easy for them to retain what is being taught and understand it too. That is the reason why nursery rhymes are so much in vogue when it comes to teaching small children. 

The teachers that teach children that small have to have the skills to get their students to take to the  nursery rhymes they are made to listen to by being creative in their approach. Singing the rhymes or combining them with role-play is a great way of doing that.

That is the reason why if one ever goes by a nursery class you can hear children reading out rhyming text. That makes them learn as nothing else does. The rhyming text is in fact the mainstay of nursery education.

What Are Rhyming Words?

Words that sound similar are rhyming words. For instance, cheese rhymes with peas and tall rhymes with ball. Rhyming words can be used to form poems or nursery rhymes that very small children can relate to. 

“Baba black sheep, have you any wool; Yes Sir, yes Sir, three bags full,”  and “Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall” are examples of rhyming words being used to good effect to entertain children. All Dubai Indian schools are known to use rhyming words to good effect to teach toddlers.

Conclusion

When it comes to teaching kids in kindergarten as indeed other classes, the fact that certain words and terms tend to rhyme can be used to make a matter of study interesting and easy to remember. There is, therefore, every reason to leverage rhyming words as a very useful tool of education. 

As a matter of fact, students in even senior classes often abbreviate or convert into rhyming syllables things they need to remember. Humans have an inborn ability to appreciate rhymes and that can be put to good use in schools and other educational institutions.

This is particularly true for very small children studying in kindergartens and preschools as children that young take to rhyming instinctively. The fact that rhyming is a fun activity motivates the small ones to try and learn about the world they live in through the stories that rhymes convey to them.
