Rhyming pinch cards

Looking for another free rhyming resource? Try this rhyming activity with children learning to identify rhyming words.

Grab this free rhyming activity for kids learning this important skill!

I recently asked my blog readers what they’d like to see on the blog this year. Many people requested more rhyming resources. I find this interesting, as I already have quite a few on the blog. But I guess you can never have enough!

My Three asks for “activities” every day. I don’t always have time to do one, so she was all smiles when I told her I had a new one for her!

She read the pictures (king, ring) and pinched the smiley face if the words rhymed, and the sad face if they didn’t.

Then, since I had marked the correct answers on the back, she could flip over the card to see if her fingers were pinching the correct answer.

Of course, you could always use good old-fashioned clipping clothespins and make these into the traditional clip card. I just felt like pinching was easier and quicker.

Besides the fact that most of our clipping clothespins are broken.

Or being used on bags in our pantry.

You know we love color at our house! But there’s a black-and-white version in the download if you’d like to save on ink.

I hope you get a chance to use these!

Ideas for using the pinch cards

  • Put them on a metal ring so your child can flip through it in the car as you run errands.
  • If you’re a classroom teacher, put the cards at a learning center. Make sure to put dots on the back so the activity is self-checking.
  • To save ink, print the black-and white-version on colored cardstock.
  • If you’d like, don’t make the cards self-checking. Instead, have children use the recording sheet to mark their answers so you can check their work later.

      Hi Allison! I recommend opening the file using Adobe Reader. If your computer doesn’t have it yet, you can find it at https://get.adobe.com/reader/. If that doesn’t work, please send us an email at hello@themeasuredmom.com and we will continue to help you troubleshoot!

    thank you for so many great resources! my kindergarten reading intervention kids will love these. the smiley-face idea is great. my students love to color, so they will love the b&w version which can double as a coloring sheet.

      No, not yet! I do have quite a few clip cards, though, which could be used the same way. They’re on my Free Printables page.

    Your live webinar on guided reading was very much appreciated! I am old school and was very dependant on using Basal Readers. Trying to figure out how to transition to guided reading/daily 5 or something similar! I teach 3/4th grade and would appreciate any other advice?

      I’m so glad to hear you ‘re interested in making a transition, Roxanne! I highly recommend Jan Richardson’s book The Next Step Forward in Guided Reading. It is extremely practical. Another great resource – which is much longer, but has a lot of focus on guided reading at all grades, is the revised version of Guided Reading by Fountas and Pinnell.
