Rhymes are often used in kindergarten classrooms to teach concepts and skills.

Here are some rhyming activities for kindergarten:

– Rhyming game: Kids can play this game by taking turns trying to come up with words that rhyme with a given word.

The first person says, “I’m going to say a word that rhymes with ‘cat’.” The second person then says, “I’m going to say a word that rhymes with ‘bat.'” The game continues until the last person says, “I’m going to say a word that rhymes with ‘mat.'”
