Description
How to Teach Rhyming
This rhyming words Christmas activity helps young children hear when two words sound the same at the end, like star and car or bell and shell. Rhyming is one of the first sound skills children learn, and it helps them notice the parts inside words. Preschool, kindergarten and first grade students say each picture name out loud and listen for its rhyming partner.
How to Use the Activity
Print the 24 picture cards, cut them apart and play a holiday Memory game. Each picture sits inside a bright Christmas ornament with its word printed below. Children lay the cards face down, flip two, say both names and keep the pair when the words rhyme. The cards also work for a quick matching race or a small group rhyme hunt. A kindergarten practice worksheet asks students to look at a picture and circle the one that rhymes, so teachers can check the skill. This Christmas rhyming game fits literacy centers, small groups and festive December review.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with simple game steps
- 24 Christmas ornament picture cards that make 12 rhyming pairs
- A kindergarten practice worksheet: circle the picture that rhymes
- An answer key of the rhyming pairs with card numbers and a practice answer key
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Saying and hearing rhymes builds phonological awareness for reading.
- Pictures let even pre-readers play, while printed words support early readers.
- A playful holiday game keeps children practicing longer.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
After the game, ask children to say one more word that rhymes with each pair. Hang the matched ornament cards on a paper Christmas tree, or use the rhyming words Christmas activity as a quick warm-up before a holiday read-aloud.
