Great Polish rhymes for kids
Posted on 31. Oct, 2012 by Kasia in Education, Grammar, Kids, Poetry, Rhymes
Today I wanted to share some information with you about this great book with Polish rhymes.
Since my kids are bilingual (my older daughter is almost 3 and she speaks both Polish and English, my younger daughter is …1 month old – obviously she can not speak yet, but she listens to us speaking Polish, reading Polish books, listening to Polish songs and watching Polish movies!), I always look for books that will be interesting for them. I try to find something that will teach them about Polish culture and improve their language skills.
This book is really amazing. It has all the best Polish rhymes for kids that I remember from my childhood. It is very colorful and kid friendly. Next to each rhyme, depending what is it about, there are some useful information about particular subject. For example page next to the rhyme about chimney-sweep (kominiarz) tells you about different superstitions and what to do when you see one somewhere (for example you are supposed to hold on to any button on your clothes in order to avoid bad luck when you see chimney-sweep). Rhyme about dogs tells you more about dogs in Poland and types of dogs, rhyme about the children’s room will explain more about different furniture on the opposite page, etc.
It teaches counting, colors, improves memory and speech! You can get it on Amazon website. Definitely worth it!
Do następnego razu… (Till next time…)
About Kasia
My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew up in Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business at the University of Warsaw. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our 3.5 year old daughter is a pro in it! I wanted to make sure that she can communicate with her Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching her Polish since she was born was the best thing I could give her! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.
