What I Learned from “London Bridge is Falling Down” in My Childhood — and What You Can Teach Your Kids Too?
When I was a child, joining hands with my friends to form a “bridge” and catching each other between our arms was more than just a game. It taught me that to keep anything standing, hard work and choosing the right materials are essential.
You can teach your children the same lesson—that in life, “bridges” (our dreams and paths) might break sometimes, but every time they do, we must rebuild them even stronger. This rhyme helps children understand different materials—like wood, clay, and iron—and teaches them that every problem has a solution if we keep looking for it.
Questions to Ask your Kids:
1. What is the meaning of “London Bridge is Falling Down”?
Answer: This is a historical rhyme that teaches us how to rebuild something old or broken in a new and stronger way. It is a story of continuous effort and improvement.
