Use this engaging game to practice, revise and write rhyming words. A great activity for the whole class or as an independent activity in literacy groups or rotations.

There are two versions of the Word Family Write the Room activity in this resource.

THIS RESOURCE CONTAINS:

• 12 illustrated hiding cards with labels

• 12 illustrated hiding cards without labels

• Recording sheet

• Answer key

HOW TO USE:

1. The teacher hides the illustrated cards around the room for the students to find. To create a fun challenge, hide some of the cards in more difficult places. I usually use blu-tac to stick them around the room.

2. The students need a pencil and a recording sheet each. They can rest their recording sheet on a scrapbook or use a clipboard while they walk around the room searching for the hidden cards. When they find one, they write the word on their recording sheet next to the matching picture.

DIFFERENTIATED VERSIONS:

EASY - Hide the labelled cards around the room for the children to find and copy. This will help them see that rhyming words have the same ending.

DIFFICULT - Hide the cards without labels around the room to encourage students to listen for and spell the rhyming words.
