IT'S ABOUT TIME, TEACHERS, for HINK PINKS, et al.

 

If you are not familiar with Hink Pinks, et al., you are in for a treat. Hink Pinks are brain teasing, critical thinking, word riddles that help students learn to interpret data, make inferences, draw conclusions, and analyze new information. All the while, they are working with vocabulary, synonyms, definitions, parts of speech, syllables, and honing rhymes. What could be better than a fun way to work with Bloom's Taxonomy?

Hinky Pinkies are different from Hink Pinks in one way: the rhyming answer words must be 2 syllables each. Hinkity Pinkities require answers with 3 syllables.

There are lots of ways to use Hink Pinks, et al.

The best thing about Hink Pinks, et al., is that students love them! Mine literally beg to do them.

My love of Hink Pinks, et al., is so great that I have made dozens of units. When you buy by the bundle, you save 30%. Naturally, you can purchase the individual products.

Check out these thematic units:

I even created Hink Pinks and Hinky Pinkies for non-readers:

Try them. You'll love them!
