Printable rhyming worksheets where Nursery, LKG and UKG children circle picture pairs with the same ending sound.
Practice that builds confidence
What the skill builds
These Circle Pictures That Rhyme practice activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children listen for words that end with the same sound. Children look at pictures, say the names aloud, and circle the picture that rhymes with the prompt.
The printable worksheets use simple image-based tasks, so children can practise rhyme recognition before they are expected to read independently. Activities focus on careful listening, oral vocabulary, and early phonological awareness through familiar picture choices.
Rhyming is an early sound-awareness skill. In these worksheets, children learn that words such as cat and hat sound alike at the end, even though the pictures show different things. The task is not about spelling; it is about hearing the final sound pattern in spoken words.
How the worksheets progress
Children begin by naming the main picture, then comparing it with a small set of picture options. They circle the picture that rhymes. This supports the Nursery, LKG and UKG path from listening to single words, to comparing two or more words, to making a confident choice. Picture support keeps the focus on sounds rather than reading.
Parent routine at home
Sit beside your child and point to the first picture. Say its name clearly: “sun.” Then say each option slowly: “bun, dog, leaf.” Ask, “Which one sounds like sun at the end?” Let your child repeat the pair before circling. If your child is unsure, offer two choices instead of all options and exaggerate the ending sound gently: sun—bun.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these printables during phonics readiness, language corners, or small-group listening practice. They also work well after rhyme songs and poems, when children have already heard repeated sound patterns. For mixed-ability groups, ask confident children to say an extra rhyming word aloud, while beginners only identify and circle the matching picture.
Common errors and a simple strategy
Many children choose pictures that belong together, such as cup and plate, instead of words that sound alike. Others match the first sound, choosing ball for bat. Remind them: “We are listening to the end.” A child-friendly strategy is: say the word, tap your ear, repeat the last sound, then choose. Accept familiar local pronunciation, and model the target word kindly if a picture name is unclear.

Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Do children need to read words to use these worksheets?
No. The activities are picture-based. Children say the picture names aloud and circle the one that rhymes, so the focus stays on listening to sounds.
What should I do if my child chooses a related picture instead of a rhyming one?
Explain that the task is not about things that go together. Say both words aloud and ask your child to listen to the ending sound, for example, cat—hat.
Are these worksheets suitable for Nursery children?
Yes, with adult support. Nursery children can name the pictures and choose from fewer options, while LKG and UKG children can handle more choices independently.
How can teachers use these pages in class?
Teachers can use them in small groups, phonics readiness lessons, language centers, or after rhyme songs to check whether children can identify matching ending sounds.

Model the picture word clearly and gently, but do not turn the activity into a correction drill. The aim is to help children hear rhyme patterns with familiar spoken words.
