Rhymes from a box

Children pull objects out of a box and look for words that rhyme with them.

Steps

1. Hide small objects in a box: a toy cat, a block, a spoon, a ball.
2. A child pulls out an object and says its name.
3. The group looks for rhymes (cat – hat, spoon – moon).
4. Make a shared poem from the funniest rhymes.

Tip: Start with words that have lots of rhymes so children get the idea.
