Play rhyming games
Rhyming is a fundamental skill that can be practised anytime and anywhere, whether at the supermarket, in the park, or at home. It is a fun activity and plays a key role in unlocking important language and communication milestones for children as they start their language-learning journey.

Here are some helpful tips:
- Help your child build a sentence with a set of rhyming words, and try adding rhyming words to your sentence for a fun challenge.
- Nursery rhymes are an excellent way to teach your child rhyming in the target language.
- Changing the words to a favourite nursery rhyme is a fun way for your child to experiment with new rhyming words.
- Instead of looking for words beginning with a certain sound, ask your child to find something in the room that rhymes with another word.
- Pick a topic with your child, such as food or family. Have fun finding rhyming words for different words on that topic.

Encouraging children to talk about words that rhyme can be an effective way to help them recognise sounds in words, expand their vocabulary, and develop a better understanding of how a language works.
