Halloween Rhyme Time!

Rhyming is one of my favorite thing to teach because students LOVE hearing and producing rhymes! There are so many great rhyming books out there. Here are a few of my favorites: Rhyming Dust Bunnies, Sheep in a Jeep, and ANY Dr. Seuss book! For this activity, we read the book Room on the Broom since it is October and Halloween is right around the corner! I read the book aloud to my students, and they LOVED it. Apparently it is a movie too, and of course they keep asking me to buy it so we can watch it together! After we read the story, we brainstormed rhyming words and I wrote them on my easel, or weasel as they call it! The image below shows the writing portion of this activity. The students had to come up with rhyming words that they thought would fit on the broom!



After the filled in their words, they drew their words on the broom. I always love to see how creative they get with each activity. I ALWAYS complete the activity before the lesson to give my students a visual aide. Here is my example: 



And here are the students projects on the bulletin board:


I love how each student handles the project. It is the same activity, yet you get fifteen different results! If you would like my Room on the Broom writing sheets, you can visit my TpT store here and grab them!

Thank you for stopping by!
