Rhyme Lab

How it plays

What your child does

  1. Syllable Clap: tap the drum once for every beat in a spoken word.
  2. Rhyme Match and Rhyme Chain: find and chain words that rhyme. Level 3 adds tricky words that look alike but do not rhyme.
  3. Haiku Builder: fill three lines of 5, 7 and 5 beats, with a meter showing the count.
  4. Acrostic: pick a line for each letter of a word like SUN or RAINBOW.

For grown-ups

Good to know

  • No typing: every word and line comes from the game’s own lists.
  • Finished poems are read aloud and can be saved to My Stuff. Poems never appear in progress reports.
  • The drum has a tap counter, so it works with the sound off.
  • The game saves itself, so your child can stop at any time and pick up where they left off.
