Rhyme Matching is a great activity for teaching the early phonemic awareness skill of rhyme during your small group instruction. Your students are going to love matching the colorful pictures. It requires a bit of assembly, but it'll be worth it.
To make this activity gather the following materials: large marble glass gems (found in the floral section of Walmart), 32 button magnets, glass and bead glue (clear glue) and a cookie sheet. Simply print the pictures on office paper, glue each on a gem and then glue the magnet on the back and you're all set.
