Rhyming activity

I teach kids to rhyme in a two step sequence. First, I get them to identify words that rhyme. So for example, I lay out a picture of a cat, tree and bat and ask which two pictures rhyme or sound the same. Then once the kids can identify pictures that rhyme, I move on to the next step which is getting them to think of words that rhyme on their own.

Print the Rhyming Robots puzzles on cardstock or us a laminator for added durability and then cut them out. I’ve made the rhyming robots in different colors so that kids beginning to rhyme can work on one set at a time, such as the blue robots before moving on to another set such as the green robots.

Rhyme puzzle game

Explain to the kids that words that rhyme sound the same. I usually give an example such as “cat, mat – they rhyme”.

For these robot puzzles, kids need to choose a puzzle piece and say what the picture is and then find a picture that rhymes with it.

If they choose a picture of a bee and then log as the answer, I say something like “bee, log- do they rhyme?”. If a child replies yes, then I know they’ll need some extra support to complete the puzzles. For these kids, narrow down the puzzle piece options by completing one robot color set at a time. Then help the kids by saying what the picture is and the possible answers, for example “cat, bat, van – what rhymes with cat… bat or van?” If they say van, I encourage them to try again. Then when they say “bat” I praise them and say something like “great job, cat and bat do rhyme, let’s try another one”. I find this helps to build their confidence and eventually they get the hang of it.
