    ‭What‬ ‭Will‬ ‭Your‬ ‭Child‬ ‭Learn‬ ‭from‬ ‭The‬ ‭Farmer‬ ‭In‬ ‭The‬
    ‭Dell?‬

    ‭Poems‬‭like‬‭the‬‭Farmer‬‭In‬‭The‬‭Dell‬‭teaches‬‭kids‬‭that‬‭we‬‭all‬‭are‬‭connected‬‭to‬‭each‬‭other‬

    ‭in‬ ‭a‬ ‭chain-like‬ ‭manner‬ ‭through‬ ‭an‬ ‭interlinked‬ ‭relationship.‬ ‭Children‬ ‭will‬ ‭learn‬ ‭about‬

    ‭these relations and connections in this poem.‬

    ‭Learning‬‭this‬‭poem‬‭will‬‭require‬‭children‬‭to‬‭memorise‬‭these‬‭facts.‬‭Thus,‬‭every‬‭time‬‭they‬

    ‭recite this rhyme, they will jog their memory power and enhance it with practice.‬
    ‭Theme of The Farmer In The Dell‬

    ‭The‬‭farmer‬‭in‬‭the‬‭dell‬‭is‬‭a‬‭play-time‬‭poem‬‭for‬‭kids‬‭that‬‭encourages‬‭them‬‭to‬‭get‬‭active‬

    ‭in a synchronised manner.‬

    ‭The‬‭poem‬‭talk‬‭about‬‭a‬‭farmer‬‭in‬‭a‬‭dell,‬‭which‬‭means‬‭a‬‭small‬‭wooded‬‭valley.‬‭The‬‭farmer‬

    ‭gets‬‭married‬‭and‬‭has‬‭a‬‭wife.‬‭That‬‭wife‬‭gives‬‭birth‬‭to‬‭a‬‭child.‬‭The‬‭child‬‭is‬‭under‬‭the‬‭care‬

    ‭of‬‭its‬‭nurse.‬‭The‬‭nurse‬‭rears‬‭a‬‭cow.‬‭The‬‭cow‬‭then‬‭befriends‬‭a‬‭dog.‬‭The‬‭dog‬‭challenges‬‭a‬

    ‭cat.‬‭The‬‭cat‬‭chases‬‭a‬‭mouse.‬‭The‬‭mouse‬‭tries‬‭to‬‭go‬‭after‬‭some‬‭cheese.‬‭However,‬‭we‬‭all‬

    ‭know‬‭that‬‭cheese‬‭is‬‭usually‬‭kept‬‭as‬‭a‬‭trap‬‭for‬‭mice.‬‭This‬‭leads‬‭to‬‭everything‬‭falling‬‭back‬

    ‭while the cheese is all that’s left.‬

    ‭●‬ ‭One child gets chosen as the “farmer” and has to stand in the centre of the circle.‬
    ‭●‬ ‭Now, hop and keep moving in a clock-wise direction while singing the first verse‬
    ‭of the rhyme. At the end of the verse, the “farmer” will close his eyes and catch‬
    ‭one child, who will join the farmer in the centre of the circle.‬
    ‭●‬ ‭Now the two will be in the centre, while rest of the children continue singing the‬
    ‭second verse while hopping and moving around similarly.‬
    ‭●‬ ‭This can continue till the end of the verse, after which one child remains, who will‬
    ‭have to become the farmer in the next round.‬

    ‭2. Map Out The Way‬

    ‭●‬ P
    ‭ rint a few pictures of all the characters in the rhyme and paste them on a paper‬
    ‭in any random order.‬
    ‭●‬ N
    ‭ ow, ask your child to join each character to the one that it ‘takes’ in the poem‬
    ‭using various coloured pens. For instance, the child will connect the farmer and‬
    ‭the wife using one colour. And then, the wife and the child with another colour.‬
