English Home Language - Term 2 - Week 10

Today, we will learn about rhymes! Rhymes are words that sound the same at the end. For example, 'cat' and 'hat' rhyme because they both end with the 'at' sound. Rhyming helps us play with sounds and makes our language fun! Let's listen to some examples together.

Let's look at some pictures and words. I will say a word, and you will help me find a word that rhymes with it. For instance, if I say 'dog', can anyone think of a word that rhymes with 'dog'? Yes! 'Log' rhymes with 'dog'. Great job! Now, let's try with 'sun'. What rhymes with 'sun'?

Now, let's play a rhyming game! I will say a word, and you will clap your hands if you can think of a word that rhymes with it. For example, if I say 'ball', you might clap for 'mall' or 'call'. Let's start with the word 'tree'. Who can think of a rhyme?

It's your turn to be creative! I want you to think of a word and draw a picture of it. Then, write down a word that rhymes with it. For example, if you draw a 'bat', you could write 'hat' next to it. Share your drawings and rhymes with a partner when you are done!
