Exploring the outdoors and rhyming go together perfectly. Your class will learn about word structures and rhyming while talking part in this fun physical activity. This activity will work best if you can give an input or lesson before taking the class outside.
Once outside, each student / pair will find an object and write it in the first column of their table, for example, a tree. They’ll then go around and see if they can find another one or two things that rhyme with their original object. They can the repeat this until they’ve had a chance to find a few rhymes.
This activity can be made more competitive by assigning rhymes points.
Extension: Once they’ve got a good amount of rhymes they can use them to create their own poems using our templates provided.
