Read the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme to students.
As you read the nursery rhyme, act out the rhyme using a hard boiled egg. (This will help students make the concrete association with Humpty Dumpty being an egg in case they are not familiar and when the egg drops at the end of the rhyme it will build excitement)
