Create cards that display pictures and words of different objects. Each object should have another card that rhymes with the card. For example, the card with a cat on it should have a corresponding card of a bat or a hat. Have each child select a card. Call the child up and ask him to tell the other children what is on his card. The children must then look at their own cards to see if they have the one that rhymes with it. Continue until all rhymes have been found for all the children. Place the rhyming cards in learning centers for students to access and practice with later.
Create bingo cards that have pictures of objects with the word written underneath. Instead of calling a letter and a number, say a word. The children will mark their bingo cards on words that rhyme with the word you said. At the end of the game, children will share other words they had on their cards that rhymed with the bingo words during the game.
Children love nursery rhymes, and most will know some of the common rhymes. Recite a nursery rhyme to the children, such as "Humpty Dumpty." When finished, tell the children that the poem is to be repeated, but some of the words will be changed. The children should make a noise or touch their noses when they hear words that are out of place. For example, when you say, "Humpty Dumpty sat on a ball," the students will react. Complete the nursery rhyme. Then repeat it again but have students supply silly rhyming words as the poem is repeated.
In a basket, place a number of items that can be found around the classroom, such as markers, glue, pencils, scissors and tissues. Make a list of the items that are in the basket to remember everything. Give the basket to a child and tell her to find an item that rhymes with a provided word. For example, if the word is "blue," then the child will pull the glue out of the basket. Once she finds a rhyming item, she passes the basket to the next child. Make up words for items that are difficult to rhyme. This will keep the class interested. For example, "lizzers" rhymes with "scissors." Have students come up with alternative rhyming words.
