Skidamarink | Nursery Rhymes

Skidamarink is an evergreen song popular with preschoolers and elementary school children alike.

The origin of this popular sing-along song dates back to 1910, when it was written for a Broadway production called “The Echo,” written by Felix F. Feist and Charles Newman, and composed by Al Piantadosi. The song was initially titled “Skid-dy-mer-rink-adink-aboomp,” but has since become popularly known as “Skidamarink”.

One of the reasons for Skidamarink’s popularity lies in its simplicity. The melody is catchy and easy to learn, and the lyrics are repetitive, making it perfect for young children developing their language and memory skills. Additionally, the song often incorporates simple hand gestures and movements, such as touching the nose and heart or making circles with the arms, which adds a fun, interactive element that kids love.
