- Have a limerick guessing contest. After kids write their own limericks, put them in a box. A child can draw one out, read it, and then the group can guess who wrote it.
- Kids can also read some limericks other kids have written. Go to brownielocks.com for some samples of perfectly clean, safe limericks.
