Materials: Picture cards of compound words cut into puzzle pieces(snowman, doorbell, mailbox, sandbox, bathtub) 

Time: 10 minutes 

To change this activity to a focus on segmentation, repeated this process by pulling apart each section of the cards.

Topic: Matching words that rhyme

Materials: File Folder with one word attached. Word cards to match

Time: 5 mins 

Topic:  Rhyming

Time: 5-10 minutes

Materials:  Bean Bag (or ball)

Procedure :

1. The teacher (holding the beanbag) says a word (e.g., mat). The words can be related to a topic. 

2. The teacher then passes the beanbag to a child. That child is to think of a word that rhymes with mat, say the new word aloud, and then pass the beanbag to another student. 

3. The game continues until the children can think of no more rhyming words. ** students can say nonsense words too!

4. The student who is holding the beanbag at that point begins the game with a new word.

Title: Rhyming Dominos

Age Group: Kindergarten- 2^nd 

Time: 10 to 20 minutes (depending on age group)

Materials: Sentence strips, marker, scissors

Before the Lesson: Write two words on each side of the cut sentence strips (see picture below). The activity could also be taught by using pictures instead of words for younger students.  

1. Students will be separated into a group of 2 . The oldest student will go first and lay a card down. 

2. Next, the youngest students need to put down a card that rhymes with one of the words on the first card. 
3.The students will continue until all cards have been played or until there are no longer any matches. 

Note: This could be used as a center game or as whole group instruction.

Pictures Cards

 

1.   Give each child a bingo card with pictures on it

2.   Tell children we are going to playing rhyming bingo

3.   Remind children what it means to rhyme

4.   Ask children to take some time to look over their cards and raise their hands if there is any picture they can’t identify

5.   When all children can identify the items on their cards, start calling out a word from the picture cards. Show the picture. Remind students they are looking for words that rhyme with your word. 

6.   Play until someone yells Bingo 

Which word doesn’t belong?

Bus, bun, rug 
Mop, moon, rat 
Coat, hose, horse 
Pants, pink, four 
Tent, table, horse, 
Sun, sub, ruler, 
Queen, quarter, taco

2.  You might, then, advance in difficulty by comparing 4 words per row.  
Sink, seem, thud, sing 
Dive, dove, vest, dad
Chin, chocolate, chair, sheet 
Zig, zag, zeal, sing
Joke, cheer, choice, chest 
Van, that, vine, vow 
Chin, chunk, chill, jump 

Another lesson which gives children repetition is to clap, snap, slap the syllables. You say and repeat the word three times while you clap your hands, snap your fingers, slap your knees. The repetition helps children learn.

For example, for the name “Patrick”, you would say:
“Pat-rick” (clap, clap hands)
“Pat-rick” (snap, snap fingers)
“Pat-rick” (slap, slap knees)
(You clap or snap or slap at the same time you are saying each syllable.)

For the name “Madison”, you would say:
“Mad-i-son” (clap, clap, clap hands)
“Mad-i-son” (snap, snap, snap fingers)
“Mad-i-son” (slap, slap, slap knees)

Materials: Picture cards; tape; markers; whiteboard or chart paper

Time: 10 to 15 minutes (extend or shorten based on students level of engagement)

1. Teacher will share with students that they will engage in a rhyming activity by performing an action from the white board and then selecting a rhyming word from three picture cards. 

2. Teacher will review the action words already pre-written on the whiteboard: Jump; clap; slam; Sway, Chew (before introducing rhyming words--teacher will review each of these words in action to ensure students know how to perform the action).

3. Teacher will demonstrate game for first word: He/she will point to the board and say jump; he/she will jump, she will then flip over two to three provided cards each time saying: Jump, book, Jump, slide, Jump Dump--Jump and Dump have the same ending; they rhyme! He/she will place the picture card "Dump" beside the word Jump on the whiteboard before inviting up the first friend to play.

4. Student will select an action word to perform; after performing the action, the student will flip over two to three picture cards to determine which word has the same ending (or rhymes with the action). 

4. Student will say the rhyming pair together before taping the rhyming word to the matching pair on the board.

5. Teacher will repeat until all children have had an opportunity to create a rhyming pair--activity can be modified for students to include their own action words and rhyming pairs.
