Rhyming Memory Match

Rhyming Memory Match
 Objective:
The students will identify pairs of picture cards with rhyming names.
Materials:
•  Pairs of picture cards with rhyming names
Lesson:
This lesson is similar to the game Memory. Review all of the picture cards to ensure that the
students can name each picture. Have the students give examples of two pictures that rhyme.
Then,
1.  Mix the cards and place them face down in rows and columns.
2.  Have the students take turns turning over two
picture cards at a time while saying the names.
3.  If the names rhyme, then a match is made and
the player has another turn. If no match is made,
it is the next player’s turn.
4.  Continue playing until all rhyming words are
matched.
Adaptations:
If the pictures do not rhyme, have the student think of real or nonsense words that rhyme with
the pictures.
In addition to rhyming, this lesson may also focus on initial sounds, ending sounds, blends, or
even common vowel sounds. The same cards can be used for all of these purposes, but state the
goal of the search clearly before the game begins.
For English language learners, clarify the name and meaning of each picture card
