Different Types of Rhyming Card Games

While this classic concentration-style game is a favorite, there are several variations you can try to keep students engaged.

• Memory Match – Players flip two cards at a time, trying to find rhyming pairs. If they match, they keep the cards and take another turn.
• Rhyming Snap – Cards are dealt face down in a pile. Players flip cards one by one, and when two rhyming words appear, the first to shout “Snap!” wins the pile.
• Go Fish (Rhyming Edition) – Players ask each other for rhyming pairs (e.g., “Do you have a card that rhymes with cat?”). If the opponent has it, they hand it over; if not, the player draws from the pile.
