The ability to hear rhymes is an essential skill for learning to read. Knowing that rat rhymes with bat, not with bag means that your child can discern the differences among individual sounds (or phonemes). Playing with rhymes trains child’s ear to hear the differences and similarities in how words sound.
You can make picture rhyme cards with your child. Then you say the word and the child finds a rhyme word.
Another variation would be a set with pictures and written words.
For a little bit more advance play you need a deck of cards that contains word recognition words learned so far and a small sack. The goal of the activity is to practs reading and finding rhyming words.
In addition you can play with your child my daughter's favorite rhyme games. See links below.
