Guest Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Have tried to think of some but at the moment my mind has gone blank. Can any one suggest any rhymes or songs about, long, short etc?
Guest Posted January 12, 2005 Posted January 12, 2005 Mr Lynn is very thin, Mr Pratt is very fat, Mr Cort is very short, Mr Hall is very tall, Mr Dent is very Bent, Mr Wait is very straight.
Susan Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Cant think of any others off hand, but I have a different last line--Mr Wait stands up straight. and you can use your hands to illustrate all adjectives!
Guest Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 How about When Goldilocks went to the house of the bears Oh what did her blue eyes see? A chair (bowl/bed/bear) that was big, a chair (bowl/bed/bear) that was small and a chair (bowl/bed/bear) that was tiny And that was all And she counted them 1....2.....3. (last verse And they growled at her - roar, roar, roar) There are so many counting rhymes, but hardly any about length! We could do with a few more. Carolyn
Beau Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 This is the best I can do pepsi. "If I were bigger than anyone and other poems" - found it on this site http://www.wordpool.co.uk/nz/books/nzmathstog.htm
Guest Posted January 13, 2005 Posted January 13, 2005 Thanks to all who replied. There seems to be a shortage of them. I think I may have to get creative! I can hear my teaching assistant groaning from here as she says 'Did you make this one up yourself?'
