Steps

  • Step 1

    Read a rhyming story book. Suggestions include "We Go Together!" by Todd Dunn and Miki Sakamoto, "Madeline" by Ludwig Bemelmans, "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin Jr. and John Archambault, or anything by Dr. Seuss. Have students identify the rhyming words. Then have the class brainstorm a list of rhyming words. 

  • Step 2

    Ask students to create a short story using pairs of rhyming words. Then have them illustrate the rhyming sentences. 

  • Step 3

    Have students present their visuals to the class.

Standards

LA: Add drawings or other visual displays to written text to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings. 

LA: Develop real and imagined narratives. 

Adaptations

Have children create a rhyming concentration card game. They can form small groups and create pairs of rhyming pictures, written or illustrated or both. To play the game, shuffle the cards and place them face down in a grid. A player will turn over two cards. If the cards rhyme, they keep them. If not they get turned over and the next player goes.

Students can take a familiar song and change the words to practice rhyming patterns.
