Nursery Rhymes are NOT just for the young ones anymore! This twist on those old rhymes that most students haven't heard anymore is a sure winner as an addition to your language arts program.
This packet will provide an engaging way for your students (struggling to advanced) to practice finding synonyms using a thesaurus. (These are both COMMON CORE ELA SKILLS!)
With 12 different rhymes to work with, it is sure to be a hit with your class, and a unit you will find yourself using again and again to help teach those essential word choice skills.
I hope you enjoy using this engaging ELA packet as much as I enjoyed creating it!
Happy Creating,
MrHughes, from Created by MrHughes

CAN. NOT. WAIT to try this with my class! It's a great way to practice synonyms, and (I'm guessing) the nuances of meaning that make word choice so important. Thank you!

Please enjoy it. I know that I have enjoyed it for years. Please stop by again soon! :)

I plan to use this as a do-now activity in my high school special education classroom. It could definitely be used in a variety of settings and grade levels. I like that the activities are short and focus on vocabulary in a real world application.
