Day 272: Rhyme Games

Playing rhyme games with your child will hem them to recognize sounds and develop vocabulary. Think of words that rhyme while you are standing in line at the grocery store or the bank, or riding in the car. Start with things your child knows, such as things that are part of his/her own body.

Say, “I’m thinking of something on your face that rhymes with (or sounds like) spies.” (The answer is eyes.) Once your child gets the hang of it, you can eliminate the clues and just say, “What rhymes with star?” (car, jar, far, bar, etc.) Little kids love tongue twisters too. Start with simple tongue twisters like, “toy boat,” “rubber baby buggy bumpers,” “a pack of pesky pixies,” or “she sells sea shells down by the seashore.”

More tongue twisters…
