With teacher voicing, identify rhymes, syllables and beginning/ending sounds in familiar words.
Teacher voices every prompt and choice; children need not read the words. Say words naturally, then repeat slowly for hints. Clap syllables, not individual sounds. Accept oral, pointing or response-card choices. This game cannot score pronunciation.
Give everyone time to think and discuss before one pupil acts at the board. The class explains and confirms together; hints and explanations stay until you move on.
Use an up-to-date browser on a computer connected to a whiteboard or shared display. Touch, mouse and keyboard; optional audio and reduced motion. No pupil accounts or personal devices.
Choose from 5 challenges up to the full activity. Discussion determines the duration: you set the pace.
Cat and hat end with the same sounds. Their first sounds are different, and that is fine for a rhyme.
Say another word that could rhyme with cat.
Book has one syllable. Apple and pencil each have two, so book has fewer.
Say book once. How many times did your voice make a beat?
Gum and ham end with /m/. Mat has that sound at the start, so it does not match the requested ending.
Point to the end of an imaginary word as you say /m/.
