I've enjoyed going into both third grade classes this month to work with students on some fun rhyming riddles called "Hink Pinks." Given a specific clue, students had to decide on two one-syllable rhyming words to fit the clue. For example, an "overweight feline" would be a "fat cat." A Hinky Pinky or a Hinkety Pinkety works the same way with more syllables. For example, a "silly rabbit" is a "funny bunny." Students worked in pairs and trios to solve these riddles, and they really stretched their thinking in a fun way!
