Rhyme Time!
Cat, hat, bat. Words that rhyme are where it's at!
Hi, I'm Ted! I love rhymes. Let's hear them, read them, and play with them. 👋
🎵 What is a rhyme?
Some words sound the same at the end.
We say they rhyme.
Listen: cat, hat.
The start is new. The end is the same!
They both end in -at.
Their ends sound different.

🤪 A silly rhyme by Ted
Read it out loud! Can you hear the rhymes? The bold, underlined words rhyme.
A cat in a hat sat down on a mat.
“Hello!” said a bat. “I like your hat!”
A frog on a log sang a song to a dog.
The dog sang it back from deep in the fog.
“It's fun,” said the sun, “to run, run, run!
Let's play in the sky till the day is done!”
A bee in a tree buzzed, “Wait for me!
I want to play too! One, two, three!”
Then a snake by the lake baked a big birthday cake,
And they ate every crumb, for goodness' sake!
