Step-by-step solution for: circle the rhyming words from poem - ESL worksheet by Reshma Patel
Let’s go step by step to solve this.
We are told to circle rhyming words using a color code:
- og → red
- op → blue
- ot → orange
- ool → green
- ook → yellow
Now, let’s look at the poem and find which words rhyme with those endings.
---
First stanza:
> I saw some frogs,
> on a log.
> They like to jog,
> through the fog.
Look for words ending in “og” — that’s our first group (red).
Words:
- frogs → ends in “ogs” → has “og” ✔
- log → ends in “og” ✔
- jog → ends in “og” ✔
- fog → ends in “og” ✔
So all four of these should be circled in red.
---
Second stanza:
> I tell them to stop,
> on the spot.
> Now they will not,
> hop at all.
Look for words ending in “op” — that’s blue.
Words:
- stop → ends in “op” ✔
- spot → ends in “op” ✔
- not → ends in “ot” → that’s orange!
- hop → ends in “op” ✔
- all → doesn’t match any of the given codes? Wait — “all” isn’t in the list. But “not” is “ot” → orange.
Wait — let’s check the code again:
(og-red, op-blue, ot-orange, ool-green, ook-yellow)
So “not” → “ot” → orange ✔
“hop” → “op” → blue ✔
“stop”, “spot” → also “op” → blue ✔
What about “all”? It doesn’t end in og, op, ot, ool, or ook → so we ignore it.
But wait — “hop at all” — “all” might be meant to rhyme with “stool”, “pool”, “book” later? Let’s hold that thought.
Actually, looking ahead:
Third stanza:
> They sat on a stool,
> near the pool,
> with anew book;
“stool” → ends in “ool” → green ✔
“pool” → ends in “ool” → green ✔
“book” → ends in “ook” → yellow ✔
“anew” → probably typo? Should be “a new” — but “new” doesn’t fit any code. Ignore.
Also, “all” from previous stanza — does it rhyme with “stool”, “pool”? Yes — “all”, “stool”, “pool” all have the “ool” sound? Actually, “all” is pronounced /ɔːl/ and “stool/pool” are /uːl/ — different sounds. But in children’s poetry, sometimes they’re treated as rhymes.
Wait — let’s check the instruction again: “circle the rhyming words using the given colour cod.”
The color code is based on spelling endings, not sound. So:
- “all” → ends in “all” → not in the code → skip.
- “stool” → “ool” → green
- “pool” → “ool” → green
- “book” → “ook” → yellow
Also, “not” → “ot” → orange
And “hop” → “op” → blue
In second stanza:
“stop”, “spot”, “hop” → all “op” → blue
“not” → “ot” → orange
Is there an “ot” word elsewhere? Only “not”.
What about “jog”, “fog”, etc.? Already done.
Let’s list ALL matching words by category:
🔴 og (red):
frogs, log, jog, fog
🔵 op (blue):
stop, spot, hop
🟠 ot (orange):
not
🟢 ool (green):
stool, pool
🟡 ook (yellow):
book
Note: “anew” is likely “a new” — “new” doesn’t fit. “all” doesn’t fit any code. So we don’t circle them.
Also, “I”, “saw”, “some”, “on”, “they”, “like”, “to”, “through”, “the”, “tell”, “them”, “to”, “now”, “will”, “at”, “sat”, “near”, “with” — none of these match the endings.
So final list:
Red (og): frogs, log, jog, fog
Blue (op): stop, spot, hop
Orange (ot): not
Green (ool): stool, pool
Yellow (ook): book
That’s all.
Final Answer:
Circle the following words with their assigned colors:
- Red: frogs, log, jog, fog
- Blue: stop, spot, hop
- Orange: not
- Green: stool, pool
- Yellow: book
