Three little ideas

  • A naming word tells the name of a person, animal or thing: mummy, dog, ball, hand.
  • Body words are naming words too: hand, head, nose, ear, toe. Point to each one as you say it.
  • Try it — look around your room and name three things you can see.

Find the naming word: “I wave my two little hands.”

“Hands” is the naming word — it names a part of the body. “Wave” tells what we do.

  • An action word tells what we do: clap, wave, jump, hop, turn.
  • Do it as you say it — clap when you say “clap”, jump when you say “jump”. Moving helps you remember.
  • Hands are busy — they can clap, wave, hold, pat and wash.
  • Rhyming words end with the same sound: cat – hat, hand – sand, clap – nap.
  • The beat — a rhyme has a bounce, like a little drum. We can clap on each strong word.
  • Make a rhyme — what rhymes with “ball”? Try tall, wall, fall.
Remember: words rhyme when they end the same way. “Dog” and “log” rhyme; “dog” and “cat” do not.

Where you'll meet it

Rhymes are everywhere

Singing at home

You can clap and sing little rhymes with your family. Doing the actions — clap, wave, jump — makes it more fun and helps you learn new words.

Learning new words

Each rhyme gives you naming words and action words to keep. Soon you can use them in your own little sentences.

Making your own rhyme

Pick two words that sound the same, like “sun” and “fun”, and make a tiny line. That is the start of your very own rhyme.
