Hinky Pinky
A woman in an orange dress stands in a dimly lit art gallery, facing a teal-colored wall with framed artwork. She wears headphones and appears to be intently observing the artwork, which consists of portraits and abstract figures. Warm light casts shadows across the floor, creating a serene and contemplative atmosphere.
H

inky Pinky is a rhyming game designed to teach children how to create rhymes. For instance, the adult or teacher says, “Give me a Hinky Pinky for a ‘relaxed man.’” The child thinks a bit and comes up with a “mellow fellow.”

For the purposes of Olive, however, the game is reversed as Olive provides the rhyme and the reader provides the clue. All the rhymes are clues for a body part—and the body parts are listed from top to bottom!

Olive: Give me the equivalent body part for the following.
1. Deer Leer =
2. Square Hair =
3. Numb Thumb =
4. Confusion Protrusion =
5. Wonky Donkey =
Reader: …And the answer is:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
