Rhyming is one of the first phonics skills young children learn, and these free printable color by rhyme worksheets turn it into a colouring game. Each of the 10 sheets shows a target picture and a garden of words, and children colour the words that rhyme with the target word red and the other words blue.
Every page is a black and white PDF with one rhyming family to practise, covering the -at, -an, -ap, -en, -ig, -in, -og, -op and -ug families plus -oat, so one page is a complete short activity for preschool and kindergarten children, at home or in the classroom. Print the pages in any order and work through the rhymes one sheet at a time.
What Is Inside the Color by Rhyme Worksheets Bundle
The 10 sheets cover the word families children meet first: -at with cat, sat and hat, -an with can, pan and van, -ap with cap, map and tap, -en with hen, pen and ten, -ig with pig, dig and wig, -in with pin, win and fin, -og with dog, log and frog, -op with mop, top and hop, and -ug with bug, mug and jug, plus -oat with boat, goat and coat.
Color by rhyme worksheets like these build early reading skills, the ability to hear that two words share the same ending sound, along with careful looking and colouring inside the lines. Because the pages are black and white until the child colours them, every page is both a phonics activity and a colouring page. It is part of our preschool worksheets, kindergarten worksheets and first grade worksheets collections, where all the rhyming sets live together.
