An Exceptional Place to Flourish
Today we are looking at poems that contain rhyming couplets.
The dictionary defines rhyming couplets as:
'a rhyming pair of successive lines of verse, typically of the same length'
Below is a picture which contains the features of a rhyming couplet poem.
Lets warm up by listening to the rhyming game song below. You can join in at home if you want.
Remember: If two words rhyme it means that they sound the same. For example
Cat and bat
Yellow and mellow
Tree and bee
I have added some examples of poems containing rhyming couplets at the bottom of the page.
