It’s a Farmer’s Job to Farm

This Wordplay Challenge worksheet features the whimsical poem “It’s a Farmer’s Job to Farm,” which plays with the idea of whether jobs (and even objects) always match their names. After reading the poem, students are asked to decide what each listed person’s job would be, circling the ones that are real and crossing out the ones that are not. This activity strengthens vocabulary, builds critical thinking, and highlights the fun of language through nonsense wordplay. The clever twist on professions and word endings makes it especially engaging for grades 3-5, encouraging students to explore both logic and imagination.
