So we have fairytales in Fairyland which I love, probably my favourite category.
I'd love to see more of them, possibly some of the Brothers Grimm Fairytales like Rumpelstiltskin.

  I think Nursery Rhymes or Aesop's Fables could work well in FL too.

There's endless options but I'd like to see Humpty Dumpty, Baa baa black sheep and maybe Old McDonald had a farm for a start 😊

I'd love a new round of Fairytales or similar - Nursery Rhymes or something like that would work really nicely too :)

Oranges and lemons would be nice , it doesn't have to include the chip chop bit

Please explain oranges and lemons and the chip chop bit. Never heard of it. Thanks.

It's a song/nursery rhyme about the chimes of London church bells.  Children would sing it dancing beneath the raised, linked,  arns of two others  The last verse is the chip-chop bit, and the people with the raised arms would drop them over the head of whoever was under them at that point.

Oranges and lemons
Say the bells of St Clement's.
You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of St Martin's.

When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.
When I grow rich,
Say the bells of Shoreditch.

When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney.
I do not know,
Say the great bells of Bow.

Here comes the candle
To light you to bed.
Here comes the chopper
To chop off your head.

Oh my....I can see why the chopper would definitely not be a good idea. Kind of reminds me of ring-around-a-rosey...where we all fell down. This rhyme never made it across the pond to where I lived in Canada...but many others did. Thanks for educating me.

I can see some nursery rhymes working well in FL and others not.

Mary had a little Lamb it's fleece was white as snow. I can totally see that working in FL. Same with Little bo peep has lost her sheep or the one where a cat plays the fiddle and a cow is jumping over the moon. Hickory Dickory Dock is a nursery rhyme about a mouse that ran up the clock. I can see ones like that working, ones with characters in them that could be FL wildlife.
