This printable rhyming set could be used in many ways and includes several pairs of matching rhyming picture cards.
To play this Rhyming Match Game, print out the rhyming mats and the picture cards. Cut out the picture cards and put them in a bowl or basket with the corresponding mat. There are three sets of Rhyming Match Games. Children will take a card from the bowl and find the matching rhyming word on the mat. For example, if they draw a carrot from the bowl, they will match the card to the parrot on the mat. Continue playing until all cards are matched.
The Answer Key sheet can also be used as an observational assessment recording sheet during small group lessons. When a child correctly matches a pair of rhyming cards, you can write their name or initials in the square (shown in photo below). I always abbreviate my students’ names with the first 3 letters of their name:
