We started talking about Onomatopoeia’s at the dinner table. The kids thought the word was hysterical, and Scott started talking about the old Batman & Robin television shows that would always blast a big word on the screen for when a bad guy got Thwacked, or Popped or Kazoomed. That’s exactly what I was going to show them!
Then we read some Poetry from the What Your Third Grader Needs to Know book, and picked out any onomatopoeia’s as we saw them.

The meow-meows and cluck-clucks of Old Mac Donald’s Farm (a 1706 folk song by Thomas D’Urfey of Devon, England) are onomatopoeic.
