As we were playing a game, one of my little firsties was just having a HARD time finding who was her rhyming buddy. All of my other kiddos were being so helpful to help but not
be a mother hen and tell her cheat her brain. She finally said "Ms. Price rhyming hurts my head!" One of my other witty little kiddos replied "Yep, I bet Ms. Price is tired too and wants to go to bed!" Ha ha ha.....so true! I do feel like what else can I do to make these little ears be able to hear rhymes??!!!??? I know most will get it but for right now I am pulling out some more games to help. The first I want to share is a hands down favorite! All you need is a copy of the song and rhyming word cards. I wrote mine on sentence strips and then laminated it and added velcro(I love Velcro!)....my kiddos learn to
obsess love Velcro too! Here is a copy of the words of the song (I think it is sung to the tune of Do You Know the Muffin Man but since I cannot sing who knows what I am actually singing it too...hahaha)
Do you know two rhyming words,
Two rhyming words, two rhyming words?
Do you know two rhyming words?
They sound a lot alike.
______ and ______ are two rhyming words,
Two rhyming words, two rhyming words.
______ and ______ are two rhyming words.
They sound a lot alike.
I attach Velcro to the backs of the cards and then to the blanks on the song poster....and they LOVE this!
Here is a picture and the cards. You need to make 2 copies of the cards.
The next 2 activities are simple. The first is just an "I have...Who has?" activity and the other is just a sort. The cards are cut out in pairs so they are either sorting the 2 words as a rhyming pair or a pair of words that don't rhyme. This is very basic for those sweet little ears that are just now figuring out rhymes.
I would love for you to leave me a heart note and tell me what you do to help your little kiddos rhyme.

My kinders loved doing erase a rhyme activities whole group. I usually use the ones from http://www.jmeacham.com/erase.htm and draw them on my whiteboard or Smartboard. Then I read the rhyme and the kids have to figure out what we erase. I like it since they can only guess something that is in the picture, so it kind of gives them a little hint.

I can relate totally Deedee. We are doing a state assessment right now that is one and one and takes about 40 minutes per child! My tank is running low! =)
By the way your song does work for "Do You Know the Muffin Man". I really like it and can't wait to use it!
