What is a kenning? Kennings are a compound expression in Old English and Old Norse poetry with metaphorical meaning. So basically it's two words to create an adjective in place of a noun. Some examples? Police= Law Enforcer Books= Parallel worlds Poptarts= frosted cardboard Rainbows: rain paint How do you create a kenning? Take the word "police" for example. Think of all the words that are related to "police" So: law, Justice, donuts, and protectors Then think of words associated with the list you made and the word given and you've created a kenning! So: law enforcer, Justice defender, donut muncher, and people protector. What are the rules of the game? 1) Make a kenning out of the word the person before you posts. 2) You must create a kenning in order to give a kenning. 3) One person must post after you in order to post again Let's start things off with: School.
