Free Rhyming Pumpkin Puzzles
These rhyming pumpkin puzzles are a festive way to practice recognizing rhyming words!
I recommend printing the cards on cardstock and laminating if you plan on using them more than once!
To assemble, just cut apart the puzzles, mix them up, and have learners reassemble the puzzles, matching them by the rhyming pictures.
All pumpkin puzzles are a little bit different, which makes them self-correcting. If the pictures don’t match, the puzzle won’t match!
Rhyming Tips
If your learner is having a hard time finding and matching the rhyming pictures, try these tips!
–Name the pictures for your learners. If they don’t have the right vocabulary, it’s hard to rhyme. This may be true of young children as well as English Language Learners. A handy picture key is included in the download just in case you’re unsure of a picture.
–Model it for them. Match up the pumpkins and then name the pictures: “goat – boat.” Have them repeat after you. {Our Rhyming Wheels are a perfect way to help kids rhyme.}
–Read rhyming books and sing rhyming songs. This is a great way to have learners hear the pattern of rhyming.
–Read my article, Playing with Rhyming Words. It has more tips for teaching rhyming.
