Use these game cards to practise key words from the rhyming picture book 'Brown Owl' by Rachel Schmidlechner and Nadja Grace Bodner.How to play:1) shuffle the cards2) hand out one card to each pupil (some can have two cards if necessary)3) the child with the first card begins: "I have got the first card. Who has got Brown Owl?"4) The child with Brown Owl on their card carries on: "I have got Brown Owl. Who has got Cat?"and so it goes on until the last card is played.Once the children have got the hang of the game, they get faster and faster. You can turn it into a competition by timing them each round they play and seeing if they can improve on their record.SET 1: This set is for readers and includes questions and answers on the cards (24 cards).SET 2: This set is for non-readers and has only got pictures on the game cards.  The language can be simplified for younger learners. e.g. 'Here is Brown Owl! Where is Cat?' or 'Brown Owl is here! Cat is next!'

If two cards on top of each other RHYME, players shout snap and place their hands in the middle. The fastest player wins the cards!The winner is the player with all the cards at the end of the game.2) PAIRS or RHYMING PAIRSMix the cards and spread them out face down on the table. Each player takes it in turns to choose two cards. If they are the same/rhyme, they take the cards and turn over another two. The winner is the player with the most pairs at the end of the game.3) OLD MAID (3-4 players)The aim of the game is to have as many pairs as possible.Remove THREE Brown Owl cards. Brown Owl is the old maid (schwarzer Peter)Shuffle the remaining cards and deal them between all players.Players look at their cards and place any PAIRS in front of them.Each player chooses one card to pass on and places it in front of them. Players count 3,2,1 and pass the card to the player on their left.If a player has a new pair, they place it on the table in front of them.The game carries on until one player has no cards left. The player with the most cards has won.Any player with Brown Owl tries to pass it on as it does not have a pair.4) CHANGE PLACES (whole class)Each set of rhyming words has 6 cards.Choose enough sets so that each child has a card.Remove one chair and stand in the middle of the circle.Change places if your card rhymes with 'FAT'! (all hats, cats and bats change places)Now a new player is in the middle and chooses a rhyming word.If the person in the middle shouts "RHYME TIME!", then everyone changes places.Have fun reading and rhyming with Brown Owl!For more information about my series of rhyming picture books, please visit: readandrhyme.at
