About this resource
Description
This rhyme it picture cards rhyming activity helps young children hear the sounds at the end of words. Rhyming is one of the first steps in phonological awareness: when a child can tell that pan, fan and can sound the same at the end, they are ready to play with sounds and, later, to read word families. The rhyme it picture cards rhyming activity turns that listening practice into a simple sorting game for preschool, kindergarten and first grade.
How to Use This Activity
Print and cut apart the twelve picture cards. Each card shows one clear picture with its word underneath. Children lay the cards face up, pick a card, say its name, and hunt for the two other cards that rhyme with it. When all the cards are sorted, they have four rhyme families: pan, fan and can; bell, shell and well; sock, lock and rock; and train, rain and chain. On the Rhyme Families sheet, children look at a picture and draw two things that rhyme with it, and a kindergarten practice page asks them to circle the picture that rhymes in each row.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 12 picture cards in 4 rhyme families
- Rhyme Families drawing sheet
- Circle-the-rhyme practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the families and the practice page
Why This Preschool Rhyming Activity Helps Kids
First, sorting picture cards lets children practice rhyming before they can read, using only their ears. Second, building families of three, not just pairs, shows children that many words share the same ending sound. Third, drawing their own rhyming pictures moves children from hearing rhymes to making them. This preschool rhyming activity is quick to prep and easy to repeat all year.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the cards at circle time by holding up one card and asking children to call out a rhyme. Place the set in a literacy center, play a memory game with the cards face down, or send the cards home in a bag for family practice. Children who are ready can add a fourth word to each family, like man, tell, clock or brain.
