Invite children to review body parts and rhyming words at the same time. One at a time, have children go to the front of the room and face the group. The child at the front will touch one body part and say it aloud. The rest of the children will call out words that rhyme with that body part. For example, if someone points to their head, the other children might list bed, said, fed, and red. It's okay for children to name nonsense rhyming words too!

Once several suggestions are given, the next child will go up and point to a body part. Continue until every child has had at least one turn.
