Let’s look at the rhyming words worksheets and solve the task step by step.
We are given several sets of pictures with words under them. The goal is to find which words rhyme — that means they sound the same at the end, like “cat” and “hat”.
Looking at the bottom-left yellow worksheet:
It has four columns:
- First column: picture of a person carrying something → word:
carry
- Second column: two people getting married → word:
marry
- Third column: a diaper (nappy) → word:
nappy
- Fourth column: a smiling face → word:
happy
Now let’s say each word out loud:
- carry → ends with “-arry”
- marry → ends with “-arry”
- nappy → ends with “-appy”
- happy → ends with “-appy”
So, “carry” and “marry” rhyme because they both end with the same sound: “-arry”.
Also, “nappy” and “happy” rhyme because they both end with “-appy”.
But wait — in some accents (like American English), “nappy” might not be commonly used, but in this worksheet, it’s clearly meant to rhyme with “happy”.
So we have two pairs of rhyming words here:
✔ carry & marry
✔ nappy & happy
Now, looking at the other worksheets for confirmation — but since the question seems focused on this particular set (the one with carry, marry, nappy, happy), we’ll go with that.
Final check: Are there any other possible rhymes? Let’s see:
- carry and nappy? No — different ending sounds.
- marry and happy? No — “marry” ends with “-arry”, “happy” ends with “-appy”.
So only the two pairs above are correct.

Final Answer:
The rhyming word pairs are:
- carry and marry
- nappy and happy
