A hinky pinky is a riddle that has two rhyming words for an answer.

For example:What is a hinky pinky for a hilarious

rabbit?

A funny bunny!!!

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.

Who is a student in our class with a one

syllable name?

So a two syllable word would have 2 claps or beats.

Who in our class has a two syllable name?

So then a three syllable word would have how many claps or beats???

What words have three syllables?

One more review…

Okay so tell me…How did you solve these word

problems?

What did you do first?Then what?

Work together to come up with a hink pink!!!

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!
