But the best games require little to no time out of your day for prep and set-up. Games that rhyme for kids can be as simple as putting sticky notes on a wall! To play this game with your class, begin by having students gather to form a large circle. Either you or a student comes up with a word to start, then the students take turns going around the circle saying a word that rhymes with the starting word.

If a student is stumped, classmates can help to brainstorm words that might work. If no one can help come up with a rhyming word, the next student creates a new starting word. This game also works as an ice breaker or a team building exercise! Have your students first practice their rhyming skills with this eSpark game.

Clues can include words, gestures, and acting out. The team has to guess the rhyme within one minute. I recommend Rhyme-n-Tyme. It teaches children to cooperate and play in teams. It also enhances the sense of time making the game more interesting and competitive. Most of the rhymes are really funny and children enjoy guessing them! The reason why I do not give a higher rating is that there is not a lot of replayability for a party game not so many cards , and the scorepad does not make sense you can just count the number of cards you won for the score.

Rhyme and Read includes 15 task card strips and 15 picture task cards in a laminated storage envelope. Every task card strip has a sentence with two rhyming words.

The child should look at the picture, find the picture of the other rhyming word from picture task cards then read the whole sentence.

Note that the rhyming word is already there, helps of course for children who read and makes the game much less challenging this is why I recommend the game for Kindergarten or Grade 1 but not for Grade 2.

Rhyming Word Bingo Take the classic game of Bingo and apply it to the world of rhyming word games!

Create the Bingo game boards and call sheet beforehand, complete with one half of a rhyming set for example, you could add "boat" to the card, and then call out "coat". You can add either images of items or actual words to the boards. Give each player or team a game board. Call out a word from the call sheet. Players look for a word on their respective game boards that rhyme with the called word.

If the call word is "boat," they can match with a word on their board like "coat" or "goat. Just as with regular Bingo, the game can continue with additional patterns for winning. Players sit in a circle on the floor, at a table or at their desks. One player is chosen as "The Poet" and walks around the circle as they think of a word. They can say nothing, or they can say "word, word, word" like "duck, duck, duck" as they pass each other player.

When they choose another person to play, The Poet says, "rhyme" instead of "word," and then they say a word the chosen player must rhyme with for example, "pan". The chosen player must immediately think of a rhyming word. If the chosen player can't think of a rhyme word within 30 seconds, The Poet immediately sits down in their place and the chosen student is the new Poet. If the chosen player thinks of a rhyme word within the 30 seconds, The Poet must repeat the original process to choose a new opponent.

Rhyme Hunt Rhyme Hunt is like a scavenger hunt. Come up with a list of several groups of rhyming words, ensuring that each group has the same number of words. For instance, you might have one set of 10 words that all rhyme with "set," like "met" and "debt. Divide the group into the same number of teams as you have sets of rhyming words.

If you have three sets, then you should divide the players into three teams as well. Give each team their "starter" word, so they'll know which rhyming words they should try to find. The first team to find all their rhyming words wins. Hot Rhyming Potato This game is great for kids and adults alike.
