Jack and Jill — Lyrics

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after.

Sing it together

Nursery rhymes are one of the earliest and best ways to build language. Their rhythm and rhyme help babies and toddlers hear the sounds inside words — the very skill (phonological awareness) that later powers reading. Sing Jack and Jill at bath time, in the car, or before bed, and let your child fill in the last word of each line.
