Practice With Rhyming Words

Today in Technology Class we are going to play two different games that will help you practice words that rhyme.  The first game is a concentration (matching game) where you must find all of the pairs of rhyming words.  In the second game, you will help Max cross the river by choosing the correct word that rhymes with the given word.  Play the Medium level and then try the Hard level!  You will need to click on the links below to begin playing (the link will turn green when you put your cursor over it).

Once you have played both games a few times, you may finish the map you created last week on Neighborhood Map Machine.  Your map is saved on your computer's desktop.
