Hi, I'm Luna from DoodleBeez. Today we are playing with rhyming words. Rhyming words sound the same at the end. Listen. Cat, hat. They both end with the same sound. Let's find more!

Here is the at family. Cat, hat, bat and mat. Only the first sound changes. The ending stays the same, so they all rhyme. Say them with me. Cat, hat, bat, mat.

Now the an family. Fan, van, pan and man. Do you hear it? Each word ends with an. Fan rhymes with van, and pan rhymes with man.

Some words do not rhyme. Cat and dog do not rhyme, because cat ends with at and dog ends with og. The ending sounds are different. A rhyme needs the same ending sound.

Rhymes are everywhere. Pig, wig and dig rhyme. Top, hop and mop rhyme. Bug, rug and mug rhyme too. Listen for the ending sound and you will hear the rhyme.

Rhymes make poems fun to say. The cat sat on a mat. The cat wore a hat. Can you hear cat, sat, mat and hat? They all rhyme!

Now it's your turn. Which word rhymes with sun? Bun, cup or dog? Pause and try. The answer is bun! Sun and bun both end with un, so they rhyme.

Great job! Rhyming words have the same ending sound, like cat and hat, or fan and van. Practice rhyming words in the English Lab at doodlebeez.com. See you next time!
