"I played that game as a child," she said. "It was one of my favorites!"
Since I'm all about creative writing and creative thinking I decided we should play this word game together. Let me explain.
The object of the game is to come up with rhyming words that are answers to clues given for riddles.
For example: a clever prank = a slick trick.
an evil preacher = a sinister minister
a loyal color = true blue
One syllable answers are hink pinks. Two syllable answers are hinky pinkies. Three syllable answers are hinkety pinketies.
I hope I'm explaining this okay. Below is a list of clues. Chose as many as you want to answer. Ready? Here you go:
1. nervous burglar
2. noisy mob
3. blender repair person
4. one who lives in the basement
5. clever detective
6. clever prank
7. shining sun
8. noisy mod of people
9. master of a sailing ship
10. cook who cannot hear
11. short male sibling
12. sound slumber
13. chubby cat
14. angry father
15. crying father
16. rabbit that tells jokes
17. huge hog
18. lovely cat
19. improved written communication
20. believable food
21. turbulent sauce
Please put the number and the clue beside your answer. Just curious...have you played this game before?

I totally learned that these are ink pinks but the premise is exactly the same. I use them a lot for studying vocab words and reviewing their meanings. It gets really dynamic when students can make their own! http://eslcarissa.blogspot.mx/2012/07/rhyming-word-game.html Glad to see other people love them too!
