Rhyming is one of the first phonics skills young children learn, and these free printable match the rhymes worksheets turn it into a matching game. Each of the 10 sheets shows six pictures and six words, and children draw a line from each picture to the word that rhymes with it.
Every page is a black and white PDF with one rhyming set to practise, from cats and hats to boats and coats, 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 Match the Rhymes Worksheets Bundle
The 10 sheets cover the rhyming pairs children meet first: cat and hat, dog and hog, pig and wig, can and pan, cap and map, bee and tree, car and far, cake and lake, moon and spoon, boat and coat, along with trickier pairs like ten and den, run and fun, and night and light. Each sheet gives six pictures and six words, and every picture has exactly one rhyming word to match.
Match the rhymes worksheets like these build early reading skills, the ability to hear that two words share the same ending sound, along with careful looking. It is part of our preschool worksheets, kindergarten worksheets and first grade worksheets collections, where all the rhyming sets live together.
