HIckory Dickory Dock

One of the best loves nursery rhymes I use in my session is Hickory Dickory Dock.  In the session we make a prop to go along with the rhyme to add to our home made song boxes.  The actual prop we make varies depending on the ages of the children on the programme. 

I also sing four verses instead of just one which the children love.  This is the version I use. 

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck one, the mouse ran down,
Hickory Dickory Dock.

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck two, the mouse said BOO!
Hickory Dickory Dock.

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck three, the mouse said weeeeee,
Hickory Dickory Dock.

Hickory Dickory Dock,
The mouse ran up the clock.
The clock struck four, the mouse said No More!
Hickory Dickory Dock.

An example of one of the resources I make in the sessions is this paper plate clock.  This image is taken from http://momstown.ca/2013/02/06/hickory-dickory-dock-clock/

You will find step by step instruction on how to make it, what you will need as well as a mouse template to print out.

This version found at the link above will also tell you what you need and has a printable clock face.

Or if you would like a printable version of the rhyme to make into a book and use time and time again with your child, pop over to http://www.sparklebox.co.uk/blue/literacy/nursery-rhymes/animal-rhymes.html#.VpaPkjbFbUM

If you have a toy mouse add this too for more fun or make one out of paper or card.

You can find the You Tube link  in the previous post to make one out of scraps.
