Rhyme partners
Listen to the words and match their rhyming partners.
For parents and teachers
Playing Rhyme partners
Use the speaker buttons to hear words without choosing a pair. Then tap two word cards that rhyme: cat and sat have the same ending sound. Match all six pairs, with no timer.
What this game practises
Rhyming words share an ending sound, rather than simply starting with the same letter. Tap either word to hear an approved whole-word recording, and say each pair aloud if you wish. Children can then invent another rhyming word or a playful nonsense word. This game practises matching rhyme; rhythm, expression and performing a poem are explored with a grown-up away from the screen.
Speech uses the approved, static AI-generated British-English marin whole-word recordings. Tap a card to hear its word; audio never starts automatically. These are whole words, not isolated phonemes. No live AI service is used during play.
Progress and trying again
The normal game controls let children finish, save stars on this device and play again. A previous best result is kept when a later attempt scores less. Matching games count incorrect pairs; ordering games score the first check of each round; sorting games give another chance after a mistake. Take time to talk about a choice rather than racing.
