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!
