Write a Rhyme

This worksheet is a great way to get your students writing rhyming couplets. Students choose from the bank of rhyming words to create a 2 line rhyme, then join multiple couplets together to create a longer rhyme. When your class feel confident, challenge them to create their own rhyming lines!
