Hink Pinks: pg. 235

Focus: This activity focuses on figuring out two syllable rhyming words and learning about its structure.

Materials: One Sun (book)

Blank cards (for students to create their own hink pinks)

Writing utensil

 

Directions:

1.       Share examples of hink pinks and discuss the structure of the language or read One Sun with your students and talk about the riddles and photographs. An example could be: “What do you call a chubby kitty or an obese feline?  (fat cat). What do you call an angry father? (mad dad).

2.       Brainstorm objects and possible adjectives that rhyme- for example, pink/sink, bear/lair, sled/bed. When students understand the concept, have them work in small groups or individually to think of their own hink pinks.

3.       Challenge students to draw a picture to illustrate their hink pink or to write a riddle. These can be exchanged with a friend.
