Matching Game
Test your memory with these cards! Have an adult help you photocopy this page, cut
out the images below, then shuffle them. With the picture side down (no peeking!),
arrange them so there are four rows of four cards each. With a friend, take turns
flipping over two at a time. When you find cards that match, remove them and hold
on to them—the player with the most cards at the end wins.

Word Search
Mmm . . . Shel Silverstein lists lots of delicious dishes in “Italian Food.”
Can you find them all before you get too hungry?

Write a Poem
Sometimes, funny words are all you need to get inspired to write a poem!
Read “Lizard” from Every Thing On It to see what we mean.
Lizard
A lizard in a blizzard
Got a snowflake in his gizzard
And nothing else much happened, I’m afraid,
But lizard rhymed with blizzard
And blizzard rhymed with gizzard
And that, my dear, is why most poems are made.
Can you write a poem using three of these four funny, rhyming words?
Fickle Pickle Nickel Tickle
