Circle the Picture: Rhyming Words Worksheet
About this worksheet
Eight numbered rows, each with a word in a rounded box on the left and three labeled line drawings on the right: jar against ant, car and cup; mop against top, hand and key; net against box, lamp and jet; cake against lake, door and fox; mug against bread, table and jug; pin against hat, fin and coin; nut against sheep, tooth and hut; and rope against worm, soap and ship.
Every picture carries its name underneath, which is what makes this one workable before a child reads fluently. You read the row aloud, they choose by sound. Watch for row six: children often reach for “hat” because it starts like the sound they are holding in their head, and the fix is simply to say “pin … hat” and “pin … fin” back to back and let them hear the difference.
What students will practice
- Say a short word out loud and hold the ending sound
- Choose the picture whose name rhymes with it
- Rule out pictures that share a first sound instead
