Here is a riddle - ‘Is it possible to use these bones to open my front door?’ 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 will discover how to create their own noun phrase riddles. 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 friendly alien creature Yce who lives on the far away planet of SPaG. He talks the children through what a noun phrase is and then shows them how they can create some teasing riddles. The answer to each riddle is always a noun phrase. 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 Riddle-Poems’ where you will again meet Yce and his equally charming alien friend called Melo. The answer to the riddle at the top of this page is – ‘skeleton key’ All the money raised from the sale of this resources is donated to a local charity for children called MedEquip4Kids.

This Father’s Day poetry idea is developed from playing a simple word association game. In this PowerPoint presentation, the well known children’s poet, David Horner, will talk the children through a clever way to write a poem for their dad for Father’s Day. The new words they come up with in the word association game will be used to create four line verses, each ending with the same refrain. The presentation takes the children through the process step by step. At the end all the children will have written a four verse poem that will warm the hearts of the dads who receive them.
