Best Engaging Activities to Practice Rhyming (rimas) and a Freebie!

How do you teach rhyming words (rimas) to children?

We all know that one of the first ways a child demonstrates phonological awareness is through rhyme recognition (an important part of literacy development).

It can be a lot of fun to teach students to recognize and produce rhyme- rimas. Using rhyme books is an excellent way to introduce this concept. Children are exposed to the rhythm of language when rhyming books are read aloud to them. It's important to remember that repetition is crucial in developing rhyming skills. As a result, we can read books to students over and over again. Using books in this way also helps with oral language development. Here are a few of my favorite activities for developing rhyming skills in my classroom:

Books:

Songs:

La Foca Loca

RIMA LIMA LIMÓN. Juego de Rimas

La vaca Lola

Debajo de un Botón
 

Literacy Centers:

 Rhyming mats

To use this activity, print and laminate the mats and sorting cards. Have your students sort the cards and match them with the correct rhyming words.

Bingo de rimas

Easy Setup: Print the colorful game boards, laminate if you like, and use counting chips or erasers to cover rhymes.
