Thirteen Nursery Rhyme Questions
How well do you know your nursery Rhymes? Below are some questions to test your knowledge. How many are you familiar with? I played this type of game at a baby shower I went to, and it was a blast. I thought I would try it out here.
- Who kissed the girls and made them cry?
- Where did the old lady with too many children live?
- Who broke his crown?
- What time was it when the mouse ran down the clock?
- Who kept his wife in a pumpkin shell?
- Who was in the tub with the baker and candlestick maker?
- Who was afraid of spiders?
- What animal jumped over the moon?
- All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put him back together again. Who was he?
- Who called for his pipe and bowl?
- What couldn't Jack Sprat's wife eat?
- What is Wee Willie Winkie wearing when he runs through the town?
- If Monday's child is fair of face, what's Tuesday's child like then?

What a great list! I'd answer, but they've already been answered - had to think about 13 for a minute, though. Not one of the more often heard nursery rhymes.
Happy TT! Mine are up.
