Alliteration - Literacy Task

Look at this sentence:
Silly Sara slipped on a spicy sausage.

What do you notice?
Look at the words, nearly all the words start with the letter 'S'.
This is called alliteration.

Task One

Here is a list of animals, you must think of a name that starts with the same letter as that of the animal.

For example:

Tommy Turtle

  1. .......... frog
  2. ........... monkey
  3. .......... rabbit
  4. ........... tiger
  5. .......... bird
  6. ........... duck
  7. .......... bear
  8. ........... wasp
  9. .......... lion
  10. ........... hamster

Task Two

Here are some sentences to copy and complete. There is a list of words in the box below. Can you choose a word so the sentence makes sense and continues to show alliteration.

For example:
Tommy Turtle tripped Tony.

  1. Peter Panther ............. poor Paul.
  2. Naughty Nick ............. Nasty Ned.
  3. Groovy Gareth ............... Giddy Graham.
  4. Frisky Fox ......... flat on his ......... .
  5. Cool Carl ............ for .............. Chris.

Look carefully. There are more words here than you need, so make sure you look at the ALLITERATION in the sentences.

Shouted, grabbed, walked, called, helped, pinched, super, nipped, crazy, jumped, fell back, crunched, face, bumped.
