Here is a riddle - ‘While I can catch these with a worm I wouldn’t put one in a Victoria sponge.’
The answer to this riddle (which you can find near the bottom of this page) is a noun phrase. Children both love solving riddles and also creating their own. In this activity they work in pairs to create their own riddle-poems.
This material can be used across KS1 – KS3 to both introduce the concept of noun phrases to younger children and for re-visiting it in subsequent years to consolidate the children’s knowledge.
In the PowerPoint presentation the children are introduced to the alien creatures Yce and Melo who both live on the far away planet of SPaG. Between them they talk the children through what a noun phrase is and then show them how they can work in pairs to create teasing riddle-poems. The answer to each riddle-poem is always a noun phrase.
The basis of the activity is an exciting word game which is played in pairs. To play the game you are provided with a photocopiable grid of 32 squares featuring 16 different noun phrases.
This resource is intended to foster youngster’s confidence and skill in navigating the quirks of English spelling, by making it a game to engage with, rather than a problem to worry about.
Look out for another Goodeyedeers resource called ‘Noun Phrase Riddles’ where you will again meet the friendly alien Yce.
The answer to the riddle at the top of this page is – ‘fish cake’
