Rhyming Worksheets for Similar Sounding Words

Anyone who is learning to speak, read and listen in English knows how important vocabulary and pronunciation can be. So let’s practice with these 5 rhyming worksheets. And all are ready to print and free to use.

1. Pass the Ball

In “Rhyme Ball”, the teacher starts the music, and a student begins with the ball. They say a word, then quickly pass the ball to another student who must say a rhyming word. This continues, with no repeats allowed.

Students keep passing and rhyming until the music stops. It’s a fast-paced way to practice vocabulary and phonics while having fun. How many rhymes can your class create before the music ends?

2. Rhyme Time

In this rhyming activity, divide the class into groups. Give each team a “Rhyme Time” worksheet.

Set a timer and challenge teams to brainstorm as many rhymes as possible for each word. The group with the most rhymes wins.

Afterwards, review the rhymes together. This activity boosts vocabulary, phonetic awareness, and introduces students to poetry.

3. Picture Rhymes

Get ready for a picture-perfect rhyming worksheet! In this fun ESL worksheet, each image represents a rhyme waiting to be discovered. 

Students use their vocabulary and pronunciation skills to figure out what rhyme each picture represents. 

This activity helps reinforce syllable segmentation and mouth anatomy concepts through visuals. Can your students guess each picture rhymes?

4. Roses are Red

Let’s have some rhyming fun with the classic “Roses are red, violets are blue…” poem.

It’s a lighthearted way to engage with poetry and celebrate the holiday in your ESL classroom.

5. Rhyming Word Search

In this word search puzzle, students must find words that rhyme with given clues. We’ve underlined the rhyming syllable to help guide the search.

For example, if “tomorrow” is the clue, students need to find “sorrow” in the puzzle. Find them all in the puzzle.

This activity sharpens phonetic awareness and vocabulary skills while adding a fun twist to the classic word search format.
