Rhyming Fun: Developing Phonemic Awareness at Minster Yard! 🎶

Engaging Rhyming Games

To make rhyming practice lively and engaging, we’ve introduced three exciting games:

1. Memory Game:
   • Rhyming pairs were hidden, and the children guessed which rhyme was missing when one was removed.
   • This activity sharpened their memory and rhyming recognition skills.
2. Matching Pairs:
   • The preschoolers matched two objects or pictures that rhymed, such as “cat” and “hat.”
   • This game encouraged sound comparison and reinforced word connections.
3. Master, Master, Can We Cross Your Silver River?
   • A fast-paced game where children crossed the “river” if their object rhymed with a given word.
   • This active play combined listening, movement, and quick thinking for a dynamic learning experience.
