I have collected some English children's rhymes. You can teach them to your children and at the same time you can learn English through them.

1.

Hush-a-bye, baby,

Daddy is near,

Mammy's lady,

And that's very clear.

When the wind blows the cradle will rock;

Daddy's gone a-hunting,

Gone to get a rabbit skin

To wrap the baby bunting in.
