What You’ll Need:
What You’ll Need:
Toolkit: Writing Edition 1
Tools: Pencil, raised line paper, any rhyming poem of your choice (not included in toolkit but can be found online ir in poem book)
Why is this activity important?
This activity will help with identifying rhyming words creating sentences using rhyming words, and practice with writing the sentences you create.
How to play:
Using the poem that you chose, look for the words that rhyme and write down the rhyming pairs that you find in the poem at the top of your paper, separating each pair with a comma.
Choose one pair of rhyming words that you would like to work with and circle the words on the paper.
If you are working alone, try to think of different sentences that you can make using those words. They can be used in the same patterns as the poem or you can use them in a different way. If you are working with another student or an adult, you can brainstorm ideas for the sentence that you want to write.
Once you have created the sentence that you are happy with, write the word pair you are going to use on the next blank line. On the next line down, write the sentence you created.
Repeat steps 1-4 until you have created a sentence for each rhyming pair you found in the poem.
Challenge:
Write a four-line poem using some of the rhyming pairs you found. Make it your own, and have some fun with it.
*If looking at examples of poems helps to get the thoughts flowing, please either read some online or ask an adult of sibling to read some poems to you to help you think of ideas.
