Notes for adults

Age 5 · 15 min · Medium

Children listen to picture names and circle the word that rhymes with the first picture in each row.

Learning objectives

  • Identify a word that rhymes with the first picture in each row.
  • Say pairs of rhyming words aloud.
  • Circle one picture in each row.

What you need

  • Printed activity sheet
  • Pencil or crayon

Safety notes

Use age-appropriate drawing materials and supervise the activity.

How to do it

  1. Print the sheet and place it on a comfortable surface.
  2. Explain that rhyming words have the same ending sound.
  3. Read the first row aloud: “hat, dog, cat, ball.” Show how “hat” and “cat” rhyme.
  4. Invite the child to circle the cat, not the first picture.
  5. Read the picture names in the other rows and give the child time to choose one answer in each row.
  6. Say the rhyming pairs together and celebrate the child’s effort.

Teaching suggestions

  • Read the labels under the pictures so everyone uses the same words.
  • Draw attention to the ending sounds: “h-at, c-at.”
  • If choosing is tricky, cover two options and compare the first picture with one option at a time.
  • In a group, give each child time to think before sharing an answer.
  • Play with rhymes when you see a hat, a sock or another everyday object.

Variations

  • Make it easier: Offer two choices per row and say the words slowly, emphasizing their ending sounds.
  • Make it harder: Before looking at the choices, ask the child to think of another word that rhymes with the first picture.
  • Take it further: Look for objects at home or in the classroom and make up rhymes for their names, even if the rhymes are silly words.

Talk about it

  • How could you tell those words rhyme?
  • What sound do you hear at the end of “hat” and “cat”?
  • Which rhyming pair did you like best? Why?
  • What other word rhymes with “sock”?

What to look for

  • Notice whether the child chooses a picture that rhymes with the first picture in each row.
  • Listen for the child to say at least one pair of rhyming words.
  • Check whether the child circles one choice in each row.
