English Home Language - Term 4 - Week 5

Today, we will learn about rhymes! Rhymes are words that sound the same at the end, like 'cat' and 'hat'. We will listen to some fun rhymes and try to find words that rhyme with them. Rhyming helps us with reading and speaking, making our language skills stronger!

Let's look at some examples together. If I say 'dog', can anyone think of a word that rhymes with it? Yes, 'log'! Now, let's try another one. How about 'sun'? Great! 'Fun' is a perfect rhyme. We can make a list of rhyming pairs on the board to help us remember.

Now, let's play a rhyming game! I will say a word, and you will clap your hands when you think of a word that rhymes with it. For example, if I say 'ball', you might clap for 'call' or 'mall'. Let's see how many rhymes we can come up with together!

It's your turn to be creative! I want you to think of a word and draw a picture of it. Then, write down as many rhyming words as you can think of next to your picture. You can share your drawings and rhymes with the class when you're done!
