Three-Word Rhymes

Title: Three-Word Rhymes

Source: School Zone Publishing Company

Behavior Objective: Given rhyming cards the student will correctly match the three cards for each rhyme 4 out of 5 times.

Targeted age/grade: 1st grade thru 3rd grade

Content Area: English-Language Arts

Procedure:
The colored sides of the cards are spread out on the table, students then match the cards to form a picture made of three cards. Students then read the words on the bottom of the cards. Students should then explain the meaning of the rhyme (or point out the words on the pictures). When all colored pictures are matched students flip the cards over and try to match the words on the backside. This is harder seeing as the pictures are a gray tone and must be matched based off of the student’s rhyming ability.

If the student has reading deficits this game can also be reduced to a two word rhyming game. Orally give the student one word and they must come up with another word that rhymes the word given. Then discuss what the rhyme means or would look like.
