Unlock The Rhyme – Rhyming Activity

unlock the rhyme literacy center ideasQuick and relatively easy educational activities are my favorite thing to have ready for my kids when they get home. Nothing too overwhelming but something small to supplement what they are doing in class. This simple rhyming activity for my daughter is the first we have done without pictures. We have often used stickers as visual prompts, but her reading ability has developed and I decided to go with only text. I kept the activity shorter than I would normally ( it took her 2 minutes tops) because I honestly wasn’t sure how much she’d struggle with a few of the words. She didn’t so I am already making a new list of rhyming words in my head to do this again in the coming weeks with more locks. This is a great literacy center idea too.

How To Make This Rhyming Activity For Literacy Centers

Gather your materials. You will need some locks ( dollar store!) with keys, a sharpie, some labels, and painter’s tape. If you don’t have labels just use the tape on the locks too. lock and key rhyming activity for kindergarten

Start by writing a word on the lock, wrap the matching key in tape and write a rhyming word on it. Triple check to make sure you have he right matches for keys and locks. Close all the locks. rhyming activity for kids

Invite your child to come and unlock them for you. Kids LOVE these activities, keys and locks are “adult” things and being able to play with them is fun for every child I have ever worked with. Use that novelty to your advantage. rhyming locks literacy activity for kindergarten

    I like this. I work with three and four year old maybe using the word and the picture of the rhyme on the key would work?

    Thanks

      Two pictures would be great for kids that can rhyme but aren’t recognizing words in print yet.
