IT'S ABOUT TIME for HINK PINKS!

 

If you are not familiar with HINK PINKS, you are in for a treat.  They are word riddles that pack a ton of serious learning into a super, fun activity.  The clues to the riddles lead to a 2 word answer.  The solution words must rhyme and each have just one syllable.  Here's an example:


The answer is SWEET TREAT.

The vocabulary skills exercised include definitions, synonyms, parts of speech, rimes, & tenses.  Research skills are involved, too, if you provide dictionaries, thesauri, and their technology versions. At the same time, learners will interpret data, make inferences, draw conclusions, and analyze new information; i.e. work with H.O.T.S. In addition to all these good things, HINK PINKS are so popular among students that you will be amazed.  Mine literally beg to do HINK PINKS every day.

HINK PINKS have been a staple in my teaching for decades.  Hence, my TPT Store offers more than 3 dozen HINK PINK products and their cousins HINKY PINKIES and HINKITY PINKITIES.  I even have HINK PINKS and HINKY PINKIES for Kinders that challenge students to determine the rhyming words based on pictures; no reading required.  Here's the FREE version of those:


You can find HINK PINK units at a 30% savings if you opt for the bundle.

There are also bundles for HINKY PINKIES and HINKITY PINKITIES.




There are combination units for holidays, also bundled for additional savings.

I offer combination units with specific themes, too.






Now is a great time to stock up on HINK PINKS, et al.  There are a few hours left in TPT Site Sale.  But, if you missed it, my store will remain on sale 3/30 & 3/31/23 at 20% savings.  That's 20% off the already reduced bundle prices.
