Characters from familiar nursery rhymes and stories can provide a springboard for conversation. Begin by reciting the rhyme or reviewing the story. For example:

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.

Show children a picture of Jack from a storybook or a poster. Ask the children to imagine they are having a conversation with Jack. What would they say? What would Jack answer?
