Big Welsh Rhyme Time 2025
Big Welsh Rhyme Time is our annual celebration of sharing rhymes, poems and songs. It's rhyming fun for everyone!
Big Welsh Rhyme Time is back from 10-14 February 2025 and we'd love for you to join in.
There will be lots of fantastic new English and Welsh language content including songs, rhymes and videos which can be shared with families and children across Wales, and we would encourage everyone who works with children aged 0–5 to get involved.
FREE certificates and stickers can be claimed during registration, with a digital certificate option if printed resources are no longer available.
In February 2024 more than 25,000 children had fun taking part at home or whilst at school, nursery or another early years setting.
You can find all the amazing rhymes and activities, created especially for Big Welsh Rhyme Time 2024 by Welsh children's musicians, poets, writers and illustrators below.
