The kids can shout out "DOESN'T RHYME!" when this card appears)The cards can be used for four different games:1) RHYMING SNAP (2-4 players)Shuffle the cards and deal them between all players.Players put their cards in front of them, face down.Each player turns over a card and lays it in the middle. 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
