Highlights of the World Nursery Rhyme Festival
Childhood is not only occupied by cartoons and popular music but also nursery rhymes with beautiful stories and simple emotions. A lot of well known nursery rhymes across the world come from the Mother Goose series. The Mother Goose education system is based on the spiritual core of its nursery rhymes and was adapted to China in 2016.
Multi-faceted online festival allows for greater participation
Since the grand opening of the World Nursery Rhyme Festival on March 21, the event gained a large number of followers through its familiar melodies, innovative presentation and various interactive methods. With "321, let's rhyme" as its tagline, the Festival utilized an online presence to reach a wider audience through three popular social media platforms: Douyin, Weibo and WeChat.
The first activity was the Nursery Rhyme Popularity Contest on Douyin, which started with big-eyed cuddly babies, lovely fairies, creative finger paintings and Nursery Rhyme Card Theater. Fans came up with creative ideas to embody their favorite rhymes in other media and displayed their nursery rhymes. The Contest was well-received online and garnered comments such as:"It is interesting to see classic nursery rhymes with different creative presentations" and "Seeing my children singing my childhood nursery rhymes brings back good memories." In addition, the festival awarded three children with the title "Nursery Rhyme Baby".
