REINDEER LIMERICKS

Say what? REINDEERICKS are  limericks about reindeer. 

Like all limericks, REINDEERICKS have a specific structure:
  • They are 5 lines long.  
  • The first, second, & fifth lines have 8 beats each and rhyme with each other.  
  • The third and fourth lines have five beats each and rhyme with each other.
Here's an example:

REINDEERICKS make a fun writing assignment during these days before Christmas.  If your students need help getting the rhythm, have them recite Humpty Dumpty several times. 

Use their REINDEERICKS to create a fun bulletin board. Ask your poets to read their limericks to another class. Celebrate the season!
