Playing with Words: Terse Verse

What kind of chore must you do to get a costume ready?  
A mask task.
 
About month ago, I shared a free sample of Terse Verse Volume 1.  A Terse Verse, like the example above, is a riddle that is answered with two rhyming words.

One way I use Terse Verse in my classroom is like a modified game of hangman.  I create a set of dashes on the white board that match the number of letters in the answer.  Then I ask the question and have students guess letters until they guess the answer.

Developing Vocabulary with Terse Verse

Several years ago I started a collection of Terse Verse to use in my classroom.  I went a little crazy and created three volumes with 105 Terse Verse each.

A Terse Verse is two rhyming words that answer a riddle.  For example, "What can I see without my glasses?" "A blurred word." My students loved sharing jokes and riddles after cleaning up at the end of the day and these were popular.
