English Home Language - Term 4 - Week 6

Rhymes are words that have the same ending sound. For example, 'cat' and 'hat' rhyme because they both end with the 'at' sound. Today, we will learn how to find and create rhymes. Rhyming helps us with our reading and makes our language fun!

Let's look at some examples together. If I say 'dog', can anyone think of a word that rhymes with it? Yes! 'Frog' rhymes with 'dog'. Now, let's try another one. What rhymes with 'sun'? That's right, 'fun'! We can make a list of rhyming pairs on the board.

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 'tall' or 'call'. 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 write down two words that rhyme with it. You can draw a picture to go with your words. Once you finish, we will share our rhymes with the class. Remember, rhyming can be silly and fun!
