5 Minute Game: The Rhyme Game

Here is a quick no-prep game for any elementary classroom: The Rhyme Game!

It helps teach vocabulary, syllables, rhyme, and prefixes.

This product includes a one-page instruction sheet including the skills taught, different player configurations, rules, a sample round, and extension ideas.

This game requires NO PREP and NO MATERIALS other than writing implements. I suggest whiteboards to save paper.

Grades to Use With:

This game can be used in any elementary classroom (grades K-8) or in a high school special education class. It is great for the following uses:

·       - Morning/home-room warm-up

·       - TOC back-up activity

·       - To fill the 5 minutes before lunch or the end of the day

·       - As a reward for small-group or one-to-one tutoring

The Rhyme Game Rules: Start with a word that has many rhymes. (For example: tent, rant, king, see, you.) Do NOT choose duck for obvious reasons. Each student (or each team) has two minutes to make a list of as many rhyming words as they can. Points are counted based on syllables. The longer the word, the more points. After two minutes, tally the scores to find the winner.

Sample Round:

T: Think of as many words that rhyme with TENT as you can in two minutes.

Team 1: bent (1), invent (2), went (1), content (2), meant (1)  TOTAL: 7

Team 2: sent (1), bent (1), content (2), discontent (3), spent (1), unspent (2) TOTAL: 10
