Hi kindergarten! Today we are going to do some practicing with rhyming words. Remember, when words rhyme, they have different beginning sounds, but their endings sound the same, or they are in the same word family. Dig and pig rhyme because they both end with the /ig/ sound. Two and chew also rhyme because they end with the /oo/ sound. All the words in the /at/ family…like cat, bat, mat, rat, chat, hat all rhyme with each other. They all have different beginning sounds, but the same ending. But cow and cat do not rhyme because they have different word endings. Check out these songs to help you practice identifying rhyming and non-rhyming words.
Now that you’ve listened to some songs with rhyming, you’re going to practice coming up with some rhymes by listening to a story. In this silly book, Rhyming Dust Bunnies, three dust bunnies help come up with good rhymes, but Bob, the fourth bunny doesn’t seem to be very good at rhyming…. Listen to it now.
Poor Bob! He wasn’t very good at rhyming, but he tried so hard to keep the dust bunnies from being vacuumed up! Were you able to come up with any of the rhymes the dust bunnies created? Were you able to create any rhymes they didn’t think of? Next, I want you to play some of these online rhyming games. Remember, rhyming words have the same ending sounds, so it helps if you say the words aloud to decide if they rhyme or not. Notice, again, that most pairs of rhyming words are from the same word families.
For today’s assignment, I want you to go on a rhyming scavenger hunt in or around your house. I’m attaching a list below. For every item on it, I want you to find and record at least one object that rhymes with it. You could take a picture of the object, draw a picture of it, or write it down with a word. For example, the first item on the list says “find something that rhymes with bee.” So, I might draw a picture of a key because “bee” and “key” both have the same /ee/ sound at the end. Have fun!
