Ultimate List of Nursery Rhymes with Links to Lyrics

Written by Samantha in Nursery Rhyme Lists

What would Nursery Rhyme Central be without a directory listing in alphabetical order of every Nursery Rhyme we know!

We are constantly adding to our library of nursery rhymes and would love to hear from you if we are missing a rhyme, or if you have some historical facts we can add to the educational pages on our site about each nursery rhyme!

Click the link to read the lyrics and where possible listen to a recording or watch a video of the rhyme being said or sung.

We have even researched the history behind some of the most popular rhymes and added links to things lesson plans or videos on how to play the song on an instrument.

We hope you enjoy this comprehensive list as much as we enjoyed putting it together for you!
