There's no limit on what projects you do for any given badge.  Just as long as all activities are met to earn it! I can't wait to see your creations!

I don’t know who mother goose is. I don’t know she’s popular here. 
Can someone link me to something to do with her? Like where I can read or listen to her nursery rhymes?

These are not all Mother Goose, but it's a good idea of what we're talking about.

Here's a classic story

 

Here's some more songs.

The idea is rhyming kids songs that teach a lesson. They were primarily found in England (UK) and France then became popular in America.  They don't translate very well into other languages and not all cultures use rhymes as part of their language development.  In English, we use rhyme to teach reading and language skills to young children. In other languages,  rhyming isn't taught because of how sentences are structured.

You are very welcome! Nursery rhymes, folk tales and fairy tales actually teach our little ones about who we are as a culture,  as a people. Sadly, today in America,  way too many people don't take time to teach these to their kids. Oral tradition (story telling), singing and movement (dancing) are so vital to healthy growth and development. It builds connection and attachment between people. It's how families blend and pass down their history.  I love this stuff! Hmmmm.... maybe my next career could be an anthropologist....study cultures of people...🤔🤭🤷‍♀️
