About Big Welsh Rhyme Time
Big Welsh Rhyme Time is a week-long national celebration of sharing rhymes, poems and songs in the early years. It aims to promote and encourage fun and enjoyable rhyme sharing activity for young children in Wales aged 0-5, in Welsh and English. It supports early communication and literacy skills and inspires creativity.
Big Welsh Rhyme Time 2026 will take place 2nd – 6th February.
This year’s key message will be ‘Rhyming Fun for Everyone’.
