Jokes and Hink Pinks

On another day of our wordplay study, we learned how to write jokes.  We actually came up with 6 different strategies for joke writing!  We simply studied a variety of jokes, and then we hypothesized how the writer would have gone about writing the joke.  We did some shared writing, and then I sent the kids off to write their own.  On yet another day of wordplay, we learned to write hink pinks.  Hink Pinks are riddles in which the answer contains 2 rhyming words (hink pinks have one syllable and hinky pinkies have two syllables).  I had a minute to capture some of their jokes and hink pinks at the end of the day.  Hope you enjoy!
