Description
How to Teach Rhyming
Rhyming words end with the same sound, like cat and hat. Hearing and making rhymes helps children notice the sounds inside words, which is a big step toward reading. This Ribbit Rhymes activity turns rhyming into a frog board game for kindergarten and first grade students.
Using the Ribbit Rhymes Game
Each player cuts out a frog game piece and starts on the first lily pad. Players spin the spinner and hop their frog one, two or three lily pads. They read the word on the pad, say a word that rhymes with it, and write the rhyme on their My Rhyme Sheet. If the group agrees that it rhymes, the frog stays; if not, it hops back. The first frog to reach the finish wins. Every word on the board has a different ending, so children practice many word families as they play. It is a fun kindergarten rhyming activity for a literacy center.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use teacher page
- Lily pad game board with 18 words
- Number spinner and four frog game pieces
- My Rhyme Sheet
- Kindergarten practice worksheet
- Answer keys with rhyme ideas and the practice answers
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, thinking of a rhyme for each word builds phonological awareness, the sound skills that early readers need. Second, writing each rhyme connects the sounds children hear to the letters they spell. Third, the board game keeps every child listening and checking rhymes on each turn.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Play the ribbit rhymes activity in a small group or a literacy center, or use the board for a quick whole-class rhyme warm-up. Ask children to name two rhymes for each pad, or to make up a silly rhyming sentence. At home, families can play together and keep a list of every rhyme they find.
