INTRODUCTION
As you know, Humpty Dumpty has fallen off that wall. Since all of the King's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again, you need to find someone that can!
THE TASK
You will read or listen to a variety of nursery rhymes to find just the right character to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. You will circle each rhyme on your paper as you listen to the rhyme. Next, you will take a quiz on Mother Goose rhymes. You will then print out or draw the nursery rhyme character you have chosen to put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Last, you will dictate or write a sentence telling why you chose this nursery rhyme character to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
THE PROCESS
Now it is time to explore many different nursery rhymes so you can choose just the right character to put Humpty Dumpty together again.
1. Listen to the nursery rhymes to help you decide on your character.
You will need to click on Rhymes and Songs, then Nursery Rhymes when you are there.
2. Use your print out of nursery rhymes to circle each as you are finished.
3. Take a quiz on Mother Goose rhymes.
You may need a reading buddy or teacher to help you read the quiz.
4. Print out or draw a picture of the character you have chosen to put Humpty Dumpty back together again.
5. Color your picture.
6. Write or dictate a sentence about why you think this nursery rhyme character can put Humpty Dumpty together again.

CONCLUSION
I hope you had fun learning about nursery rhymes. When words sound alike we say that they rhyme. Try making up some rhyming words of your own. For extra credit you can memorize
one of our nursery rhymes and recite it to the class.
NOTE TO TEACHER:
Students will need assistance on how to navigate the Rhymes and Songs website. It might be a good idea to pair your kindergartner with a 3rd or 4th grader for this part of the WebQuest. Also, be sure your students have heard all of the nursery rhymes on the quiz before they do number three.
Some of these rhymes may not be on the Rhymes and Song website. Students will need print out of nursery rhyme list below.
