What is a Kenning?

Year Two have been learning about Kennings this week. Can you explain to someone at home what a Kenning is? Here are a few examples of Kenning poems to help you.

See if anyone in your family can think of what would be a good title for these poems?

Tail wagger
Loud barker
Stick fetcher
Meat eater 


Chimney climber
Present giver
Sleigh rider
Mince pie eater


Egg sitter
Water diver
Snow lover
Fast swimmer

We have had a go at writing our own today ~ look out for some examples on the blog soon!
