Pet Store Rhyming Song

We do not have a pet.  So, my kids constantly talk about getting one or two or three!  Today we are going to sing about pets with this pet store rhyming song.  And in the process, we are going to build phonological awareness.

Rhyming words are those that have the same ending sound.  Children who can hear and produce rhymes are on the road to reading.  So, let’s build some rhyming skills.

This pet store rhyming song is a wonderful way to work on building phonological awareness. It's great for preschool and kindergarten.

Pet Store Rhyming Song Activity

Full Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.

You do not need any supplies to sing and play this activity.  However, if you would like to use picture cards of different pets for the children to look at while singing, that would work great too.

First, you need to learn the song.  Here are the words.

Pets in the Pet Store

So many pets at the pet store.

Which pet do I like more?

I want the one that rhymes with   _____.

Yes, may I please have a  _____?

Here are the rhyming pairs to use in the song or you could generate your own.

log/dog

hat/cat

habit/rabbit

faster/hamster

word/bird

hurtle/turtle

lake/snake

blizzard/lizard

Learn the little jingle here.  I recorded two verses for you.  Take a listen.

This is all done orally (unless you are using pet picture cards) so remind the kids to get their listening ears ready.  Sing one verse and pause at the end to let the kids guess the correct pet word.  Reinforce the two rhyming words by isolating them, saying them, and telling the kids that both of those words rhyme because their end sound is the same.  Then, continue with the remaining verses.

    I really love this and use it in my preschool classroom. Do you have or know of any others that can be used with different topics?
