Rhyming Words Match Game for Kids

Rhyming is one of those early reading skills kids can pick up almost anywhere—during story time, in a song, or while playing with words. This game gives children ages 4–6 a simple way to listen for ending sounds and notice words that belong to the same word family. When a child hears that CAT and HAT sound alike at the end, it becomes easier to pay attention to how words are built and read new ones. It is a handy choice for a quick homeschool activity, classroom literacy center, or practice at home. This kindergarten rhyming words game works well alongside free phonics games online and other rhyming activities for preschoolers.
