Singing a nursery rhyme is a great way to bond with your little one, at the same time as teaching them new words.

Singing songs and rhymes are a fun way to introduce your child to new words and sounds and to get them active too! Watch a mum and her child sing Row, Row, Row Your Boat.

Watch the videos below to help you learn the words to this rhyme.

• Sit opposite your child and hold their hands, or put your baby on your lap facing you.
• “Row” back and forwards in time with the music
• Don’t forget to scream when you see the crocodile!
• Watch the video to learn more verses, or make up your own.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat lyrics

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream.

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream.

If you see a crocodile

Don’t forget to scream!

Aaaah!
