In this article nursery rhymes and chants are described. These are poems which are authentic, and poems which have been composed specifically for the teaching of languages, respectively. They offer many benefits, such as the development of the listening and the speaking skills, insights into Anglophone cultures, and enjoyment for both teacher and children. Nursery rhymes and chants inspire games, handicrafts and acting out, and ideas are given for exploiting them successfully in the Primary classroom.
