Humpty Dumpty sat on a chair,
While the barber cut his hair.
They cut it long.
They cut it short.
They cut it with a knife and fork.

I wish they had had super glue way back then,
They could have put Humpty together again!
Favorite Humpty
Dumpty Activities and Lessons:
Egg Experts - Talk about
eggs and learn about the different parts: Yolk, White, Air Space, and Shell.
Crack open several eggs and allow the children to examine the different parts.
Compare hard boiled and fresh eggs. Dye hard-boiled eggs with natural dyes such
as cranberries or onion skins. Allow the children to experiment with the
strength of the egg's shell by allowing them to hold a fresh egg in the palm of
their hand, wrap their fingers around the egg and try to squeeze......no matter
how hard they try, they won't break the shell.

Lesson – This is found at http://www.readinga-z.com/newfiles/poetry/humptydumpty.html
Humpty Dumpty
Names – My kindergarteners like it when I replace “Humpty Dumpty” with
their names. (First and Last name
usually fit into the nursery rhyme.) I
put the rhyme in a pocket chart with their names on sentence strips. This helps the practice reading their names
and their friends’ names.
Humpty Dumpty
Tangrams – Read the rhyme aloud to your class. Ask the children to suggest ways the king’s
men could have put Humpty Dumpty together again. Explain to the children that they will be doing
an activity that will show one way to put Humpty Dumpty together. Distribute a copy of the poem, read it again,
and invite children to read along. Tell
the children that they’ll use a picture puzzle to help them figure out how to
put Humpty Dumpty together. I use a copy
of the Humpty Dumpty puzzle page found in “Hickory Dickory Math” by Cecilia
Dinio-Durkin and a tangram template page.
I also give each child a square piece of construction paper. The kids cut out the tangram and the puzzle.
Ask them to glue the tangram template onto one side of the piece of construction
paper and the Humpty Dumpty puzzle onto the other side. Make sure the glue covers the entire surface
so that the individual pieces won’t come off after the tangram is cut
apart. When the glue dries, tell the
children to cut along the dotted lines of the tangram template to make the
separate tangram pieces. Ask the
children to mix up the pieces of the tangram and then put them together
again. Children can start by using the
Humpty Dumpty puzzle as their guide. As
they become more proficient, they can make a square by putting the tangram
shapes together correctly.
Humpty Dumpty
Fractions – Using a reproducible from “Hickory Dickory Math” by Cecilia
Dinio-Durkin, the children identify the fractions halves, fourths, and
eights. Distribute a copy of the page
from the page (page 32) to each child.
Review the fractions that represented by each picture. In the first picture, Humpty Dumpty is shown
as one complete circle, or one whole. In
the second picture, Humpty is cut into two equal pieces: each piece is one half
of the whole. The third picture shows
four equal pieces: each piece is one-fourth of the whole. The last picture shows eight equal pieces:
each piece is one-eight of the whole.
Ask the children to cut apart the fraction pieces for halves, fourths,
and eights. Remind them to keep the
first picture intact to use as a model or guide. Invite children to put the fraction pieces
together by finding combinations of fractions that will give them a complete
(whole) circle again. For example, children
might put together one half and two fourths to make one whole Humpty
Dumpty. After children have had time to
try various combinations, ask them to share their findings, Draw diagrams on the chalkboard to represent
the combinations of halves, fourths, and eights that make one whole.
Humpty Dumpty
Interactive Pocket Chart – Using this chart from Scholastic the children
match the picture clues to the lines of the rhyme. Sometimes we mix up the pictures and the kids
have to rebuild the rhyme using words like first, next, last, etc. We also scramble the picture of Humpty and
put it back together again.
Rhyming Word
Hunt – Can the children scout out the rhyming words in this verse? Look at the poem together on a chart or in a
pocket chart. Guide them to discover the words, wall, fall, and all. What do
the children notice about the spellings of each word? (Their endings are the
same.) Use chart paper to generate a
list of other words that rhyme with wall, fall, and all. For fun, invent some nonsense words that
rhyme with Humpty Dumpty.
Humpty Dumpty
Sequencing - Using a page from Frank Schaffer, we sequence the four pictures
for Humpty Dumpty. The kids have to cut
the pictures and paste them in order on a separate page.
Humpty Dumpty
Art – Cut plastic foam eggs in half lengthwise. Cut rectangles out of construction
paper. Set out the egg halves, the
rectangles, large pieces of construction paper, and various materials for decorating
the plastic foam eggs, such as wallpaper scraps, yarn, beads, felt-tip markers,
etc. Have each of your children glue a rectangle to a piece of construction
paper for a wall and an egg half on top of he wall. Then let them use the decorating materials to
make faces on their eggs. To finish,
give each child two 1-by8-inch strips of construction paper to accordion-fold
and glue on as legs. Display the artwork
on a wall or a bulletin board. If
desired, write the poem on a separate piece of paper to display with the art.
Rhymes – Ask your
children to think of other things that Humpty Dumpty might have sat on. Then recite the first line of the poem,
pausing when you get to the end of the line.
Have one of your children name something that Humpty might have sat
on. Then change the next line to rhyme
with the word the child said. An example
follows.
Humpty Dumpty sat
on a horse,
Humpty Dumpty fell
off, of course.
All the king’s
horses and all the king’s men,
Couldn’t put
Humpty together again.
Extension: Have each child draw a picture
of what he or she thinks Humpty Dumpty
sat on. Then write the new version of
the rhyme on the child’s paper.
Egg Fall – Have your
children work together to build a wall of blocks. Place a container at the bottom of the wall.
Put a raw egg on the top of the wall.
Ask the children to guess what will happen when the egg falls off the
wall and into the container. Then push
the egg off the wall. Can the children
tell you why all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again?
Flannelboard
Fun – Cut a rectangle shape out of felt. Also, copy a picture of Humpty Dumpty (cut
into two pieces), the king’s horses, and the king’s men. Place felt pieces on the backs of the
pieces. Place the wall on the
flannelboard. Put Humpty together and
arrange him on the top of the wall.
Recite the rhyme, having Humpty fall off the wall and “break” into two
pieces. Then place the king’s horses and
the king’s men on the flannelboard as they are mentioned.
Counting Rhyme – Make five
Humpty Dumpty patterns and attach felt strips to the back. Cut a long wall shape out of felt. Place the wall shape and the five humpty
Dumpty patterns on a flannelboard. S you
recite the poem below, remove the Humpty Dumpty patterns one at a time.
Five Humpty Dumpties,
And not one more,
One dropped to the
ground
And then there
were four.
Four Humpty
Dumpties,
Cute as could be,
One did a
flip-flop
And then there
were three.
Three Humpty
Dumpties,
Just a lonely few,
Down went another,
And then there
were two.
Two Humpty
Dumpties,
Basked in the sun,
One got baked
And then there was
one.
One Humpty Dumpty,
A real egg-head
hero,
He took a mighty
fall
And then there
were zero.
Poor Humpty Dumpty Song – Sing this
song to the tune of “Three Blind Mice”
Poor Humpty
Dumpty,
Poor Humpty
Dumpty,
It’s sad to tell
That he broke his
shell.
He hurried and
scurried to the top of the wall,
He sat on the edge
and had a great fall,
But he couldn’t
bounce like a rubber ball,
Poor Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty
Shapes – Cut the following shapes out of felt: one large oval (Humpty Dumpty), one large
rectangle (wall), two small circles (eyes), one small triangle (nose), one
medium triangle (hat), and one small oval (mouth). Set out the shapes and let your children take
turns arranging them on a flannelboard to “put Humpty Dumpty together
again.” Encourage the children to name
the shapes as they use them.
Humpty Dumpty
Emergent Reader – I go this one from Reading A to Z. The kids color it and “read” the rhyme
themselves.
Humpty Dumpty
Extension Emergent Reader – I got this one from kindergarten.com and it has
some other things that Humpty sat on. He
also sits on a chair, a fence, a box, the floor, a car, a house, a horse, and a
log. It has a cute ending where there is
a picture of a cactus and the text says, “No, Humpty Dumpty don’t sit on that!”
The kids love this book because of the ending.
They color the pictures and we read and reread this book for a week
until we are all comfortable with it and then we take it home to share with our
families.
Humpty Dumpty
Rebus Rhyme – Found at http://www.enchantedlearning.com/Humptyrhyme.html
Humpty Dumpty Craft - I drew up
a pattern of a large egg and decorated it to look like Humpty Dumpty.
Then I made patterns for two arms. These I photocopy onto white
construction paper for each student. They are provided with a copy of
Humpty, a LARGE sheet of blue construction paper, and a strip of red
construction paper that is cut proportionately to the blue construction paper
to be used as a wall.
The students color and cut out Humpty Dumpty. Then they’re shown how to
glue their red strip onto the blue construction paper to form the wall.
Then I model for them how to draw a brick wall. We talk about how the
bricks aren’t straight up and down, but are off-centered. I draw off the
whole wall so that they can see how it’s done. Then they each get a black
crayon and make the bricks on their wall.
Once the wall is complete, I show them how to glue on their Humpty
Dumpty. Lastly, they glue on the rhyme that I’ve typed up and cut apart
using the paper cutter. Then they’re hung on display in the hallway.
Egg Pattern Match - For
younger students, you can use the “cracked egg” Ellison die-cut and cut out
eggs from different kinds of wallpaper. Laminate. The students can
then match the tops to the bottoms.
“Egg – periments” -
Set up 4 eggs (not boiled) in a small amount of playdough or whatever you can
use to keep them standing. (Broadest part of the egg on the bottom)
Experiment to see how many books you can place on top of the eggs before they
break. Before conducting the egg-periment, allow each student to
estimate/guess how many books they think the eggs can hold. Record their
estimations so that you can graph or use them as discussion afterwards.
(You’ll also want to devise some plan as how to keep the bottom book clean)
Next, have the students observe the differences in the rolling patterns of a
hard-boiled egg as opposed to a raw egg.
Lastly, place a raw egg (shell intact) into a jar of vinegar. Let
stand for several days then let the students observe the difference in the
egg. The shell of the egg will disintegrate and the egg will turn rubbery
over time.
Humpty Dumpty Positional Words -
Use feltboard pieces of Humpty Dumpty and the wall to practice position
words. Direct students to place Humpty “on” the wall, “in front of the
wall”, “off” the wall, “above” the wall, “below” the wall, “behind” the wall,
etc.
Math Counting Activity - Cut out
55 eggs (for 1 - 10). Cut 5 index cards in half and program each with a
number 1 - 10. Laminate. Put the eggs into the pocket chart with a
different number of eggs on each row. The students count the eggs and
match the correct number card by placing it in the row with the eggs.
Cracked Egg
Games - You can use the "cracked egg"
Ellison die-cut to make matching activities. Program one half of the egg
with a number and the other half with dots. The students count the dots
and match to the correct number. (A new pencil eraser and an inkpad will
make perfectly shaped dots.) You can also program the eggs with
capital/lowercase letters, pictures/sounds, rhyming words, or rhyming pictures,
compound words or compound pictures, etc.
Humpty Dumpty Sequencing Cards –
Find these at the following website:
http://www.enchantedlearning.com/rhymes/seq/humpty.shtml
DLTK’s Humpty
Dumpty Nursery Rhyme Page – Has great activities and printables to
use in your classroom. Can be found at
the following web address: http://www.dltk-teach.com/rhymes/humpty/
Humpty Dumpty Puzzle
Race - Each team stands behind its cone. One team member gallops like a
horse to the awaiting mixed up puzzle. He/she fixes the puzzle, has it checked,
mixes it back up, and then gallops back to gently tag the next team member. The
first team to have all the members complete a puzzle wins! Depending on your
class (size and/or ability), you may want to let two students gallop
down at a time and work together on the puzzle.
High Stepping
Humpty Dumpty -Use a sheet of light blue construction paper. Pre-draw a
horizontal line across the middle of the paper. Cut two holes below the
lines just big enough for fingers. (Do this ahead) Without covering the holes,
glue torn bits of red construction paper below the line for the brick wall. Next, trace an oval shape onto white paper
(to become Humpty's body) and decorate it to look like Humpty Dumpty. Cut it
out and glue just above the pre-cut holes in the blue paper. Draw arms on the
blue paper to complete Humpty...... or you can make folded, accordion arms and
glue them on. As the children poke their
fingers into the holes, Humpty will be able to kick about as they recite the
rhyme.
Humpty Dumpty
Eggshell Art - Cut a tagboard oval shape. Cover it with thinned glue. Cover the
glue with crushed eggshells or bits of white tissue paper. Once the glue has
dried, attach wiggle eyes and create additional features if desired.
Humpty Dumpty's
Wall - Materials: supply of tiles, all the same color
Before beginning this activity check to see if the children know the rhyme. If
they do not know it teach them the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. Using
one-to-one correspondence, one tile for each word said, for several phrases
model several examples. (Student full names could be modeled as examples.) Make
sure that each child knows how to name the tiles. Set up a pool of tiles in the
middle of the table. Then have the children name each tile as she/he lines them
up. Be sure to use a left-to-right orientation. The children will be building
Humpty Dumpty's wall. When Humpty Dumpty's wall has been built, give each child
a picture of a "Humpty Dumpty" to place on top of her/his wall.
Humpty Dumpty's
Wall (Version 2) - Materials: supply of tiles, all the same
color. If the children are able to
easily do the activity above move on to this activity. Again using the same
technique have children name each syllable as they line up tiles to build a
wall for Humpty Dumpty.
Humpty Dumpty
and Friends Materials: set of sound cards with pictures of words beginning
with vowels Explain to the children that Humpty Dumpty wasn't the only one who
"had a great fall". Hold up a picture of an a sound such as a card
with a picture of an apple. Tell the students to listen for this sound in the
poem. Then recite poem changing the short /u/ sound to an /a/ sound.
Hampty Dampty sat on the
wall,
Hampty Dampty had
a great fall,
All the king's
horses and all the king's men,
Couldn't put
Hampty Dampty together again.
Now hold up a picture of
an /o/ sound word. Work with the children to
help them change the rhyme to the following:
Hompty Dompty sat on the
wall,
Hompty Dompty had
a great fall,
All the king's
horses and all the king's men,
Couldn't put
Hompty Dompty together again.
Continue in this manner next using the
/i/ sound and finally the /e/ sound
Humpty Dumpty and Friends (Version 2) - If the children have difficulty with the
vowel game, initial sounds may be used changing the name of Humpty Dumpty to a
targeted sound such as Bumpty Dumpty. Children's name sounds can be used to
personalize it, increase interest and draw attention to matching sounds. For
example:
Bumpty
Dumpty sat on the wall,
Bumpty Dumpty had
a great fall,
All the king's
horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put
Bumpty Dumpty together again.
Where is Humpty
Dumpty Sitting? - To further emphasize the
rhyming nature of these activities children can brainstorm words that rhyme
with wall/fall, men/again These new words can then be substituted in the rhyme.
For example:
Humpty Dumpty sat in the
mall,
Humpty Dumpty had
a great ball,
All the king's
horses and all the king's men,
Couldn't put
Humpty Dumpty together again.
Humpty
Dumpty sat on the wall,
Humpty Dumpty had
a great fall,
All the king's
horses and all the king's ten,
Couldn't put
Humpty Dumpty into the pen.
Make a nursery rhyme keepsake
book. I introduce one rhyme a week and make the character's page as the
final activity so the book takes awhile to assemble but is well worthwhile.
Remember to include the rhyme at the top of the page. Humpty Dumpty is a yellow
oval traced on a little square that the kids cut out and glue to the center of
a piece of paper. They glue wiggly eyes and draw a face and arms on him. Then
they draw a brick wall under him.
Counting With Humpty - Draw a large grid of
bricks on one piece of paper that the kids will be cutting out. On a separate
piece of paper draw two or three versions of Humpty (remember -he's just an egg
and easy to draw). On top of each Humpty program with a number. The students
then have to create a brick wall under Humpty with that number of bricks!
Objective: Students will be able to count a set up to ten numbers.
Nursery Rhyme Prop Box - Humpty Dumpty ~ plastic egg; one
of those large cardboard bricks that come in a set for young children, or
blocks to build a wall, or a small rectangular box (like checks come in)
covered to look like a wall; and maybe some soldiers for the “king’s men”. (I
found this idea at The Virtual Vine - http://www.thevirtualvine.com/nurseryrhymes.html)
Humpty Dumpty
Station: On a Mother Goose Filed Day plastic eggs placed on a 2 x 4
were shot off with squirt guns. (I found this idea at The Virtual Vine - http://www.thevirtualvine.com/nurseryrhymes.html)

Why: To match pictures that rhyme; to practice hearing sounds that are
alike at the end of words
How:
1) Choose one of the three sets of eggs to work with first.
2) Put the egg puzzles together by orally saying the name of each picture and
matching the two pictures/words that rhyme. (Exp. Cat and Hat)
3) Once a match is made, see if your child can orally generate more words
that rhyme with the two pictures.
4) Return all egg pieces to the correct bag when finished.

Favorite Humpty
Dumpty Egg Snacks and Recipes:
Hard Boiled
Humpty Dumpty - Hard boil an egg for each child and let it cool. Then let each
child draw Humpty Dumpty's face on his/her egg. The children can either take
the egg home to eat or eat them for snack time. The children will really be
able to see that when Humpty Dumpty cracks, no one will be able to put him back
together again.
Humpty Dumpty
Eggs – Give your children large baby food jars. Help each child crack an egg into his or her
jar, then add 1 teaspoon milk and 1 teaspoon cottage cheese. Have the children shake their jars. Lightly grease muffin tins and put each
child’s mixture into a muffin tin cup.
Bake at 350° F until the eggs start to cook. Take out the muffin tin, stir each egg once,
and return the tins to the oven until the eggs are set. Serve on toast.
Humpty
Re-enactment – Give each of your students his own Humpty Dumpty so he can act out
the great fall. Then use the cracked
eggs to make a yummy snack! For each
child, hard-boil an egg: then put all the eggs in the refrigerator to
cool. At snacktime, give each child an
egg and invite him to use crayons to draw a face on it to resemble Humpty
Dumpty. Then have him hold the egg atop
a brick wall (a cardboard brick block).
Recite the rhyme together, letting all the Humpty Dumpty’s fall to the
table at the appropriate point. Then
demonstrate how to peel off the cracked eggshell. Have each child put his peeled egg in a
disposable bowl and mash it with a plastic fork. Give each child a small spoonful of
mayonnaise to mix with his egg. With a
little shake of salt and pepper, your students will have made egg salad! Pass out crackers and invite youngsters to
enjoy the healthy snack they’ve created.
