Hearing, matching and making rhymes
Rhymes are words that end with the same sound, and this worksheet moves children from hearing rhymes to making their own. The matching task prints the word under every picture, so children who are still learning to read can say each one aloud. The word families in the first two tasks never repeat, so a child can't rely on one ending. The last two questions are open: any word that rhymes with pig or bell counts, and the answer key lists the common ones.

Teaching tips
1
Play the thumbs-up warm-up from the key before handing out the sheet. Pairs like sock and sack, or bee and bed, start the same but don't rhyme, which catches children who listen to the beginning instead of the end.
2
In Make a Rhyme, accept made-up rhymes said aloud (like zig for pig) as proof a child hears the pattern, but ask for real words on paper; the key lists big, dig, wig, fig, jig and twig.

Ways to adjust the rhyming pages for different learners.
Support
Say it, then match
- Do Rhyme Match orally first: you say hen, they find the picture that sounds like it.
- Read the four silly rhymes aloud and let them point to the word bank picture.
- For Make a Rhyme, accept one rhyme per word, said or written.
On level
Teach as written
- Both student pages, after the eight-pair warm-up from the key.
- Students read each finished silly rhyme aloud to check that it sounds right.
Extension
Write silly rhymes
- Write a fifth two-line silly rhyme using one of the Rhyme Match pairs.
- Find a third and fourth rhyme for pig and bell.
