I think rhyming helps children develop the ability to recognize and manipulate individual sounds in words. When children identify rhyming words they are recognizing the ending sounds (or phonemes) of words. This is important for reading and spelling.

Rhyme Charades

Everyone sits in a circle. The teacher says, "I am thinking of a word that rhymes with 'Cat.'"

Anyone who thinks they know the word raises their hand. When called on, they do NOT say the word they think is right. Instead, they go into the center of the circle and pantomime their guess. (In other words, to stick with our example, a child might get into the circle and pantomime "bat" by flapping his arms and swooping.)

The others in the circle try to guess what the child in the center is miming.
