Once you have a partner class, try these tips for learning together:

	Write original riddles and exchange them with your partner class. To make it even more interesting, think of some clues or hints that would help someone guess the answer to your riddle, without giving it away too easily. Send a new clue every day until someone answers your riddle.
	Record a rhyming poem or story into your computer, leaving out the last word of each line. Send the recording to your partner class, and see if they can guess the missing words of each line.
	Make a chart showing your class's favorite riddles from Annie's Rhyme Time. Send the chart to your partner class and ask them to do the same. Compare the charts, seeing which riddles are the most and least popular.
	Collaborate with your partner to write a rhyming poem. Take turns writing each line, alternating, until you have a completed poem. Or, send a list of words to your partner class and ask them to write a rhyming poem that uses each word you send.
	With your partner, experiment with different rules for your own riddles. For example, make it so the words in the answer must begin with the same letter.
