This is harder than I thought!
Very easy for the slightly older generation although I didn’t know a few of the alternatives offered
19 / 20 – 95% Missing out on Round the garden, I can`t remember that one.
20/20 couldn’t believe I remember them all
You got 17 out of 20!
From Humpty Dumpty to Jack & Jill, you sure know your nursery rhymes! We had so many amazing nursery rhymes to choose from it was nearly impossible to pick, and this quiz probably took us longer to create as we were reminising our childhood memories half the time!
