Rhyming Words - music sample - © 2007 Smart Kid Publishing, ASCAP

Rhyming words are words that sound alike
Like Mike and bike and spike
Listen closely to the sound
And when they match, a rhyme you've found

Check this out:
Dog, frog, log
Bake, snake, cake
Try, fly, pie
Now you try

Tell me a word that rhymes with shoe? _____________
Tell me a word that rhymes with tree? _____________
Tell me a word that rhymes with hat? _____________

Poetry has lots of these
You see, it's easy; try with me
Listen closely to the sound
And when they match, a rhyme you've found

Tell me a word that rhymes with smart? _____________
Tell me a word that rhymes with snow? _____________
Tell me a word that rhymes with sugar? _____________

Are you just trying to get me to say "booger?"

Tongue Twisters - music sample - © 2007 Smart Kid Publishing, ASCAP

Tongue twisters give me blisters
Every time I try to say one
I guess my teeth are in the way,
I don't know what can be done
Maybe if I exercise my jaw a little longer
My ability to say tongue twisters will get stronger, yeah

All candy is good, but a sucker's the best
You can lick one for hours and not make a mess
But it takes lots of time and thousands of licks
To eventually suck one right down to the stick
And what are you left with after four, five or six?
The answer is "___________________________"
Repeat after me; it's kind of a trick
"___________________________"
"___________________________"

Dirty boy Brad liked to soak in the tub
And to wash his back, he had a brush he could rub
It had a big long handle with a really long stroke
And Brad always used it when he'd take a soak
It finally wore out and that's no joke
His bubbly brush eventually broke
Repeat after me, but don't say it too slow
"___________________________"
"___________________________"

A mote with a drawbridge is one of the ways
That castles are built to (help) keep a king safe
And strange looking statues called gargoyles
They say, will also keep the evil spirits away
They're weird little creatures even if they are royal
You can't even tell if they're a girl or a boy
Repeat after me; this is slippery as oil
"___________________________"
"___________________________"

A rowboat is powered by muscle and oars
And it takes lots of strength to row shore-to-shore
The crew should be strong like Hercules
And the oars should be made from the strongest of trees
That way when the crew pulls hard on a stroke
If the oars are made of oak, they're not easily broke
Repeat after me before you get on a boat
"___________________________"
"___________________________"

Tongue twisters give me blisters
Every time I try to say one
I guess my teeth are in the way,
I don't know what can be done
Maybe if I exercise my jaw a little longer
My ability to say tongue twisters will get stronger, yeah
