The Floor is Lava! Rhyming Words

Hop into the hot seat with this rhyming worksheet for kindergarteners and first graders! Students must help Eli cross the lava by identifying rhyming words. Learners will read the word Eli is standing on, then draw a line to hop to words that rhyme to get him to the other side.

This fun practice can help students become more confident in identifying rhyming words. Familiarity with rhymes can build phonological awareness, or the ability to recognize the individual sounds of words. A solid understanding of rhyming can also make for stronger readers and writers as students recognize patterns in the words.
