Tuesday 12th May – Rhyming strings

Date: 12th May 2020 @ 6:20am

I hoped you enjoyed yesterday’s rhyming book ‘Oi Frog’. Did you find lots of rhyming pairs in the story?

Now today we are going to use some of these words to make a rhyming string.

At nursery we have baskets of rhyming objects. Hopefully you will remember these items from the baskets.

Challenge: Can you name each object below to make a rhyming string? What end sound do the words have? Can you think of some more words to continue the rhyming string further? (You can make some words up too!)

'at' words

'og' words

We play a game at nursery called ‘beat it’ – We pass the objects around the circle and take turns to say the name of the item being held.

Can you teach this game to your family? Don’t worry if you haven’t got all of the objects - you could help your grown up draw pictures of the rhyming words, then place them in a circle and name each item as you point to each picture. Try to keep in time with the beat of the music and have a little dance too!

Rhyming strings: ‘og’ words: dog, frog, log / ‘at’ words: cat, hat, bat, rat, mat

I hope you enjoy playing our ‘beat it’ game with your family.

Have fun!
