Acrid rhymes with epacrid (in some pronunciations), a name for any plant of the genus Epacris, most of which are found in Australia.Ģ. In fact, despite often finding their way onto lists of notoriously unrhymable words, all of the words listed here do have rhymes in English-just so long as bizarre dialect words and obscure scientific jargon are allowed.ġ. So although it might all depend on your accent, on how obscure a word you’re willing to accept, and on precisely where the stress falls in the word (because sporange can either rhyme with orange or be pronounced “spuh- ranj”), it seems there actually is a rhyme for orange. But even if proper nouns like surnames and place names are excluded, that still leaves sporange, an obscure name for the sporangium, which is the part of a plant that produces its spores. And so does Blorenge, the name of a hill in south Wales. But in fact, the English surname Gorringe-as in Henry Honeychurch Gorringe, captain of the USS Gettysburg-rhymes with orange. We did one more set of three mats before he was ready to be done.You’ll no doubt have heard the old fact that nothing rhymes with orange. They’re packed with rhymes and really help kids develop an ear for them! I was pleased with how well he did with these! Maybe it’s because he’s been listening to me read a lot of my Little Letter Books to his 2-year-old sister. Yup – bell, shell.” Then he attached the picture to the correct mat. I mixed them up.įor each card he named the picture and the key images. He took off all the pictures (love that Velcro rriiip!) and placed them in a row. (To make this easy for you, I included a picture key with each set of pictures in the download.)Īfter sorting between two mats, we decided to go for three. He often needed help identifying the name of each picture before he could determine where it fit.
I helped him identify the main images on each mat. I started with just two mats to keep it simple. Attach clear Velcro dots to the mats and backs of the cards.Įven though his grandparents were visting, I was able to persuade my Four to step away from Grandma time and do a little rhyming.Ironically, the big expensive school machines may not have as tight of a seal, causing the cards to peel if you don’t cut them apart before laminating.) I like to cut apart the pieces after laminating so I don’t have to cut twice, but it depends on your machine. You’ll find rhyming mats for the following words: snail, clap, bell, king, toe, pot, pie, knight, key, glue, plug, snake, tag, and lock. Children need to find the four picture cards that rhyme with the main image. On each mat, a child is holding a sign with a picture.
WORDS THAT RHYME WITH YOU DOWNLOAD
The download includes fourteen separate mats. But I’ve received lots of positive feedback on them. Originally I hesitated to share those consonant sound sorting mats because they aren’t exactly low-prep. And one reader in particular asked for a rhyming activity in the same format as my consonant sound sorting mats. When I asked my readers what they wanted to see next, a number of them asked for rhyming activities. These sorting mats are wonderful for practice with rhyming words!
