WEE WILLIE WINKIE
A rhyme to enjoy together.
Wee Willie Winkie
Runs through the town,
Upstairs and down stairs
In his night-gown.
Tapping at the windows,
Crying through the locks,
Are all the children in their beds?
For it’s past eight o’clock?
I remember this nursery rhyme very well both from when I was a child and when my own children were little.
You can also say the rhyme with different “o’clock’s.”
With a group of children, We would take turns rolling a giant foam die and using that number for the “o’clock.”
Enjoy!
