ALLITERATION


READ THESE EXAMPLES OF ALLITERATION
 
Skunk
A skunk sat on a stump.
The stump thought the skunk stunk.
The skunk thought the stump stunk .
What stunk the skunk or the stump?
 

Eat Wisely

Franks and fries, and French fondue
Beans and burgers and biscuits too
Chicken, chili, and cheddar cheese
When I munch too much, I always sneeze!

The Football Game

Blitz and blocking, bump –and-run
Drive and drop kick, the other team’s done
End zone, end line, ebb and flow
Snap, sack, scrambling, I love it so
Football is fun and fabulous too
Let’s go to the stadium, just me and you

Onomatopoeia Poems

 

Camping

Crack! Crack!
The fire crackles under the stars.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The water sizzles above the fire.
Crunch! Crunch!
The campers crunching on potato chips.

 Click! Clack! Click! Clack!
The tent poles clicking and clacking together.
Rustle 
! Rustle!
As we prepare our sleeping bags to go to sleep.

Chirp! Chirp!
The crickets say, “good-night”.

 Chirp! Chirp!
The crickets say, “good-night”.
 
 

Mum & Dad Are Home

Slam! Slam!
Go the car doors.
Jangle! Jangle!
Go the house keys.

Jiggle! Jiggle!
Go the keys in the door.
Squeak!
Goes the front door!
Thump! Thump!
That is me running down the stairs.
Guess what?
Mum and Dad are home!!

Kwanzaa is a seven festival when African Americans celebrate their cultural heritage.
Dr. Maulana Karenga, professor and chairman of Black Studies at California State University, Long Beach, created Kwanzaa in 1966. After the Watts riots in Los Angeles, Dr. Karenga searched for ways to bring African-Americans together as a community.
