For example:What is a hinky pinky for a hilarious

rabbit?

Hink pink = 1 syllable wordsHinky pinky = 2 syllable wordsHinkity pinkity = 3 syllable words

Got It???

A one syllable word only has one beat or clap. are all one syllable words.

syllable name?

Okay so tell me…How did you solve these word

problems?

What did you do first?Then what?

Hint: Sometimes it is easier to come up with the two rhyming words first. Then think of a question that matches the two words!

Do you think we can try to make a hinkity pinkity?

Think about it throughout the day. When you come up with one, write it and your name on a piece of paper and put them on my desk. Good luck!
