Count the Limerick Syllables

Count the syllables in the limericks in this poetry worksheet! Children are introduced to the structure of a limerick poem, which follows a specific line and syllabic pattern. Learners will then test this structure for themselves as they read and count the syllables in three limericks. Clapping along is encouraged! Designed for second graders, this playful poetry worksheet is a fun way to introduce learners to a popular poetic form while practicing foundational reading skills.
