 Today I want to talk to you about an idea or share with you an idea that I use to have the kids create rhymes with me and it's called my mystery bag. So I have a bag that I just found and then I go around my classroom and I gather objects like a mug, a fish, and a book and I have my objects in my bag. I then gather the students around in a circle and I will tell them we're going to play the mystery bag rhyming game. And then I will call one student up at a time and have them reach in here and get my objects out of my bag. They happen to get this one. I would say book and everybody would say book and then I would have the student tell me either a row word or a nonsense word or a silly word to tell me a word that rhymes with book. So if we said book took and then maybe some other kids in this group could tell me if I said what's another word that could go with book and they could tell me shook or muck. And then I will have another student come up and if they pick the word or pick an object sorry and we say okay this is a fish. Everybody say fish. Now this student has problems with finding a rhyme that goes with fish. So then I ask the other students to maybe whisper to a friend a word or maybe tell me another word that rhymes with fish. Fish dish. So this is one way I teach creating rhymes with my students.
