What’s Inside:

• Colorful Humpty Dumpty Poem Posters: Display the nursery rhyme in your classroom with posters and a black-and-white version that students can color.

• Brick Wall Print: A full-page brick wall image for a fun demonstration—place it over a bin, add a real egg with a drawn face, and recite the poem as Humpty Dumpty “falls” and cracks.

• Rebuild Humpty Craft: Each student will receive an egg outline to draw Humpty Dumpty’s face, a label rectangle, and will cut, tear, and reassemble Humpty as a puzzle. They’ll glue the pieces onto cardstock and add a Band-Aid to complete the activity.

How to Use:

1. Poem Exploration: Begin by teaching the Humpty Dumpty poem using the display posters, encouraging kids to recite along.

2. Story Connection: Read After the Fall by Dan Santat to expand the story’s meaning and connect the lesson to literacy.

3. Interactive Demo: Place the brick wall on a bin, set a real egg on top, and let him “fall” for a memorable learning moment.

4. Hands-On Craft: Students will tear and rebuild Humpty, practicing motor skills and visual sequencing as they “put him back together.”

Educational Benefits:

• Language Development: Reinforces rhyme, rhythm, and storytelling with a familiar nursery rhyme.

• Fine Motor Skills: Strengthens hand coordination through cutting, tearing, and gluing.

• Creativity & Sequencing: Combines literacy with art to encourage problem-solving and story retention.

The Humpty Dumpty Poem & Puzzle Activity is a perfect blend of poetry, art, and interactive play that helps children grasp language, sequencing, and storytelling in a fun, memorable way! Ideal for any early learning setting.
