About this resource

Description

Rhyming words share the same ending sound, like cake and snake. Hearing and seeing rhymes helps young readers notice word patterns, which makes new words easier to read and spell. This Coloring Rhyming Words Worksheet turns rhyme practice into a bright color-by-rhyme activity.

At the top of the page, four key cards show a picture, a key word and a color: cake is red, boat is blue, tree is green and ring is yellow. Below them are twelve word bubbles. Children read each word, find the key word it rhymes with, and color the bubble to match. Use it in a phonics center, for morning work, as homework or as a quick check after a rhyming lesson.

What’s Included

  • A four-card color key with pictures and key words
  • Twelve word bubbles to read and color by rhyme
  • Long vowel and -ing word families: -ake, -oat, -ee and -ing
  • An answer key showing every bubble in its correct color

Why This Worksheet Helps Kids

  • Matching words by their ending sound builds strong phonological awareness.
  • Seeing three words in each word family helps children spot spelling patterns.
  • Coloring keeps the practice fun, so children stay focused from the first bubble to the last.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

Before coloring, read each key word aloud and have children clap when they hear a word that rhymes with it. After the page is done, ask them to say one more rhyming word for each key word, such as make, note, free or bring. You can also cut out the bubbles and sort them into four piles. This 1st grade rhyming worksheet pairs well with a read-aloud rhyming book, and the Coloring Rhyming Words Worksheet makes a quick review before a spelling test on word families.
