Rhymes enjoy an undisputed importance in the life of a child. Teaching of rhymes not only develops speaking skills but also helps express their feelings through facial expression and gestures. Understanding poems makes a child sensitive and reciting the same makes them creative. A strong performance is one in which the meaning of the poem is powerfully and clearly conveyed to the audience. This was displayed beautifully by the students of kindergarten section when they participated in English Rhyme Competition. The students made all the characters of each rhyme come alive.It was an excellent opportunity for them to gain confidence through stage exposure.
