Click on the link to listen and join in with our Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. After you have finished can you try singing it by yourself without the video? You could even have lots of fun by acting it out when you sing it. Sitting on some pillows or cushions (on a soft floor)and pretending to fall is lots of fun too!
