Full Lyrics
Cat and hat, dog and log
Rhyming words can sing along
Bee and tree, star and car
Listen close, they are not far
Sun and fun, cake and snake
Hear the sounds that words can make
When the endings sound the same
Rhyming words are what we name
About This Song
Rhyming Words Song helps children notice sound patterns at the ends of words. This skill is important because it supports phonological awareness, one of the building blocks of reading.
Parents often enjoy rhyme songs because they feel playful and silly. Children usually like guessing the next word pair, which keeps them involved instead of simply repeating lines.
The page is useful both at home and in class because rhyming can be practiced with books, toys, or conversation. It is one of the easiest language games to repeat every day.
A Smart Way to Support Early Reading
Before children read words on a page, they learn to hear patterns in speech. Rhyming songs train the ear, and that makes later reading instruction easier to grasp.
A simple activity is to stop before the second word in a pair and let your child guess it. Cat and..., bee and..., sun and... That keeps the song interactive.
