There’s a Wocket in My Pocket- A Rhyming Scavenger Hunt {Dr. Seuss Virtual Book Club Hop}

I am very excited to join many others bloggers this month for my first ever virtual book club!  The author for February?  Why, Dr. Seuss, of course!   I love Dr. Seuss books…and so do my kids.  ONE of my many favorites has got to be There’s a Wocket in my Pocket.  I love all the silly words and creatures sprinkled on every page.  And this books lends itself naturally to a rhyming scavenger hunt around the house.  What fun!

Before reading the book, we talked about real and silly words and I read a few of the silly words aloud like wocket, zelf, and yeps. After a good laugh, we read the book aloud, looking for the silly words and silly creatures.  We also talked about how much rhyming we could hear in the story.

After reading, I asked NJoy (currently 4 years old) to draw some silly creatures.  He jumped right in, drawing all kinds of crazy looking things.

Once they were cut out, I hid them around the house.  I gave him partial rhyming clues to help him find them.  {He had to fill in the rest of rhyme and find the creature.}

“Oh no!  There’s a ziano on the ______!”  or

“There’s a soven in the _______!”

He had such a blast doing this!  He and his brother played this game for the rest of the day {quite literally} here and there.  It was really fun to observe!
