Madame Bones, you're back!
And just in time, we have much to riddle and even more to rhyme.
What's a riddle rhyme, anyway?
Hello, Lisa. Glad you asked.
An example will be our very first task.
What is she talking about?
I'm not sure. Ahem!
I wag my tail, I sometimes bark, I chase my ball around the park.
What am I? You're Madame Bones.
I already guessed that.
No, Elliot. I think Madame Bones is giving us clues.
Hm. I wag my tail. I sometimes bark.
It has to be something with a tail.
The barks. And plays in the park.
Is it a dog? Yes, yes, a perfect guess!
Woo hoo! So that's a riddle rhyme.
It's like a little word puzzle.
It rhymes. Now, each of you can make your own and try to stump Madame Boonze.
["WHISTLE"] Billy is excited.
He says he's going to make a super hard rhyme.
Me too! Me too! I think I know just what to do.
Wow. You are good at this, Lisa.
But…but…I don't know how to rhyme.
Not to worry, Cowy dear.
That's exactly why I'm here.
Eee -ew -ew -ew -ew -ew -ew -ew -ew -ew -ew -ew Billy says that rhymes are words that end with the same sound, like bug and hug.
Perfect Rhyme! Well done, Billie!
Let's practice more.
It's OK to be silly.
OK Our first word is tickle, which rhymes well with tickle!
Tickle, tickle… they rhyme for sure.
How about we try some more?
Yeah! Yeah! Sock rhymes with...
um... clock? Indeed!
Tik -Tok! Skate rhymes with...
Great. Cowie you should try one.
I don't know. How about the word cat.
I don't know a rhyme for that.
Cowie! You did it! I did?
Yes! That rhymes with cat!
Oh! Lingokids listeners, can you think of any more words that rhyme with cat?
T -T -T -T -T -T! Hat! Bah!
Billy has one. Thermostat.
Ooh, good one, Billy.
Cowie. Cat... Cat Set?
Yeah! You've got it.
Now, make your best Riddle rhyme for our contest. Okay.
Yeah. Here we go! Oh, this Riddle rhyme ball is fancy.
Madame Bones does not mess around.
Who is ready with a Riddle?
Me first, me last. Me middle.
OK, everyone, here's my riddle rhyme.
Lingokids listeners, you can try to guess the riddle rhymes too.
I am small and fuzzy.
I crawl around. When I grow wings, I leave the ground.
What am I? So it's something fuzzy that crawls, but then grows wings.
Hmm. What could it be?
What a thriller. A rhyme about a caterpillar.
Yep. You got it, Madame Bones.
Ooh! Good one. OK. OK.
I'll go next. Ready?
Yeah! I'm wide and soft. I float up high.
And change shapes in the sky.
Where am I? Hm, what's in the sky?
There's white and fluffy.
Let's see. Just thinking aloud.
Could it be a fluffy cloud?
Yes. It's a soft, white, fluffy cloud.
That's a good one, Elliot.
Thanks, Cowie. Billy says he has a really tricky one!
Oooh, okay, let's go!
Billy says my roots go deep, my trunk grows tall, my leaves turn colors in the fall.
What am I? Oh my, what fun!
Let's work together on this one.
Okay, everyone, what has roots?
A flower? Yeah! But Billy says it also has a trunk.
And these? I know, I know!
It's a tree! Billy says you nailed it!
Oh, amazing, Himes.
I can't even begin to decide who should win!
But wait, Cowy still has to go.
Cowy, do you have a rhyme?
Yes, I do. OK. Here it is.
I can write. I can erase.
I can draw. I can trace.
What am I? Oh, Cowy, that rhyme is so good.
Yeah and tricky. Lingokid's Listeners, do you know the answer to Cowy's riddle rhyme?
Billy says he thinks its a pencil.
Oh yeah, a pencil can write and draw.
And trace, and erase.
Ugh! So, Madam Bones, who won the contest?
Yeah, who runs the very best?
Oh, caterpillar, clown, bath Saunty!
This choice is just too hard for me.
