and the kids come up with the hink pinks. For example, if
the clue is "a large feline," the hink pink is "fat
cat."

is a "lotion potion."

a race" = "armada regatta"), and Hitinkety

activity is fun to use as a vocabulary builder, especially
with many syllables, or as content review. Kids will also
