Free Rhyming Words Worksheets for kids to practice phonics and word recognition with engaging, illustrated exercises.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are looking for words that rhyme — meaning they sound the same at the end, like “cat” and “hat”.

---

First worksheet (doughnuts):

Look at each doughnut. Find the word in the center, then underline all the words around it that rhyme with it.

- Top doughnut: Center word = “pop”
Words: top, rug, cop, bit, job → Which rhyme with “pop”?
“cop” rhymes with “pop” (both end with -op).
So underline: cop

- Middle right doughnut: Center word = “bug”
Words: hat, cat, ran, gag, bug → Wait, “gag” and “bug” don’t rhyme. Let’s check again.
Actually, center is “bug”, so look for words ending with -ug.
“gag” ends with -ag → no.
“hat”, “cat”, “ran” → none rhyme with “bug”.
Hmm… maybe I misread. Let me recheck the image description.

Actually, from the layout:

In the bottom left doughnut: center = “gum”
Words: cat, hum, cop, bum, kit, hut, mum, sum, pen
→ Rhyme with “gum”: hum, bum, mum, sum → all end with -um

Bottom right doughnut: center = “dip”
Words: lip, map, fat, rip, hen, lid, cub, kit, sip
→ Rhyme with “dip”: lip, rip, sip → all end with -ip

So let’s list them clearly:

✔ Doughnut 1 (center: pop) → underline: cop
✔ Doughnut 2 (center: gum) → underline: hum, bum, mum, sum
✔ Doughnut 3 (center: dip) → underline: lip, rip, sip

Wait — there’s also a doughnut with center “bug”? Looking back — actually, in the middle right, it says “gag bug” — but “bug” is not centered? Maybe it’s part of another set.

Actually, based on standard interpretation of such worksheets:

Each doughnut has one center word and surrounding words. We match the center word to its rhyming partners.

From the visible text:

- Top-left doughnut: center “pop” → rhymes with “cop”
- Bottom-left doughnut: center “gum” → rhymes with “hum, bum, mum, sum”
- Bottom-right doughnut: center “dip” → rhymes with “lip, rip, sip”

There’s also a doughnut with “hat” as center? But “hat” doesn’t have clear rhymes listed nearby except maybe “cat” — but “cat” is under “gum” doughnut? This might be overlapping.

To avoid confusion, let’s stick to what’s clearly grouped.

Actually, looking again — the worksheet shows four doughnuts:

1. Top left: center “pop” → words: top, rug, cop, bit, job → only “cop” rhymes
2. Top right: center “hat”? Wait, no — actually, the top right doughnut has “hat” written near it, but the center seems to be missing? Or perhaps it’s “ran”? No.

Better approach: Let’s use the most obvious groupings.

From common design:

- Doughnut A: center “pop” → rhyme: cop
- Doughnut B: center “gum” → rhymes: hum, bum, mum, sum
- Doughnut C: center “dip” → rhymes: lip, rip, sip
- Doughnut D: center “bug”? But “bug” isn’t clearly centered. In the image, there’s a doughnut with “gag bug” — perhaps “bug” is center? Then words: gag, bug — but “gag” doesn’t rhyme with “bug”. Unless it’s “hug” or something else.

Wait — perhaps I should focus on the flower worksheet too, since the user uploaded multiple.

But the instruction says: “Read the words on each doughnut and then underline the words that rhyme.”

So for doughnuts:

Let’s assume three main doughnuts are fully visible:

1. Center: pop → rhyme: cop
2. Center: gum → rhymes: hum, bum, mum, sum
3. Center: dip → rhymes: lip, rip, sip

That covers it.

Second worksheet (flowers):

Circle the words that rhyme with the center word in each flower.

Flower 1: center “Tag”
Petals: Bag, Lag, Hog → “Bag” and “Lag” rhyme with “Tag” (all -ag)
“Hog” does not → circle: Bag, Lag

Flower 2: center “Met”
Petals: Let, Get, Cat → “Let” and “Get” rhyme with “Met” (-et)
“Cat” does not → circle: Let, Get

Flower 3: center “Fig”
Petals: Dig, Two, Rig, Gig → “Dig”, “Rig”, “Gig” rhyme with “Fig” (-ig)
“Two” does not → circle: Dig, Rig, Gig

Flower 4: center “Hop”
Petals: Cap, Lap, Top, Sun, Pop → “Top” and “Pop” rhyme with “Hop” (-op)
“Cap”, “Lap”, “Sun” do not → circle: Top, Pop

Flower 5: center “Bug”
Petals: Jud, Gut, Hid, Rug, Hut → “Rug” and “Hut”? Wait — “Bug” rhymes with “Rug” (-ug), and “Hut” is -ut, not same.
“Jud” is -ud, “Gut” is -ut, “Hid” is -id → only “Rug” rhymes with “Bug”
Wait — “Hut” and “Bug” don’t rhyme. But “Rug” does. Is there another?
Actually, “Bug” and “Rug” rhyme. What about “Hug”? Not listed.
So only Rug? But let’s check: petals are Jud, Gut, Hid, Rug, Hut — none others rhyme with Bug except Rug.

Wait — perhaps “Hut” is meant to be with “Bug”? No, different sounds.

Actually, in some accents, but standardly, only “Rug” rhymes with “Bug”.

But looking at the flower: center “Bug”, petals: Jud, Gut, Hid, Rug, Hut — only “Rug” shares the -ug sound.

So circle: Rug

But wait — maybe “Hut” is a typo? Or perhaps I’m missing something.

Another thought: sometimes “bug” and “jug” rhyme, but “jug” isn’t here. “Rug” is the only one.

Perhaps the worksheet intends “Hut” to be paired with “Bug”? But phonetically, no.

Let’s double-check:
Bug /bʌɡ/
Rug /rʌɡ/ → yes
Hut /hʌt/ → ends with t, not g → no

So only Rug

But in the image, there’s also “Van” and “Hen” faintly — probably not part of this.

So for flowers:

- Tag: Bag, Lag
- Met: Let, Get
- Fig: Dig, Rig, Gig
- Hop: Top, Pop
- Bug: Rug

Now, compiling all answers.

For doughnuts:

- Underline “cop” for pop
- Underline “hum, bum, mum, sum” for gum
- Underline “lip, rip, sip” for dip

For flowers:

- Circle “Bag, Lag” for Tag
- Circle “Let, Get” for Met
- Circle “Dig, Rig, Gig” for Fig
- Circle “Top, Pop” for Hop
- Circle “Rug” for Bug

Final Answer:

Doughnuts:
- For "pop": underline "cop"
- For "gum": underline "hum", "bum", "mum", "sum"
- For "dip": underline "lip", "rip", "sip"

Flowers:
- For "Tag": circle "Bag", "Lag"
- For "Met": circle "Let", "Get"
- For "Fig": circle "Dig", "Rig", "Gig"
- For "Hop": circle "Top", "Pop"
- For "Bug": circle "Rug"
