Rhyme Memory
The game of Memory has been around for many years. You can now purchase the game in just about any edition you can think of. If there is a popular movie out or a cartoon character that is loved by children, you can probably find the Memory Game with pictures to match those themes.
It is also a fairly easy game to make and can be a great way to teach other skills besides memorization, such as rhyming. Simply cut out pictures associated with words that rhyme from catalogs and clip art. Examples include dog and frog, cat and bat, wig and pig, rug and bug, or dish and fish. Of course, there are many others as well.
If you would like to keep the cards in good condition, print out the pictures on thicker paper or neatly glue them to card stock. You could also have them laminated, but this gets pricey. Just be sure that all of your paper matches on the back side so that the cards are not identifiable when they are upside-down. If possible, type or write the words under the pictures.
Place all of the cards face down and take turns with your child trying to find a match by turning over two cards at a time. If the words rhyme, keep the cards. If they do not rhyme, turn them back over and it is now the other players turn. Whomever has the most matches at the end of the game wins.
