Limericks - Year 5 / Year 6
This KS2 lesson teaches children about limericks in a fun and engaging way. First, it provides examples of limericks and explains what the ‘rules’ of limericks are. It then provides a task that requires children to explore the examples and discuss the poems regarding layout, structure and language. The second half of the lesson explains how to write a limerick. Pupils are given a scaffolded approach and an example to help them construct a class and then individual limerick.
The resource contains a 23-slide PowerPoint and 3 worksheets. It is differentiated using ‘Gold’, ‘Silver’ and ‘Bronze’ activities to help all children achieve.
