Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length (minutes)	Details
1	Introduction to Rhymes	5	Begin the lesson by explaining what rhymes are. Use simple language and engage the students by asking if they know any rhymes or songs.
2	Storytime	10	Read a selected rhyming picture book aloud. Use expressive tones and encourage students to join in on repeated phrases or rhymes.
3	Listening Activity	5	Play a familiar children's song. Ask students to listen closely and identify any rhyming words they hear. Discuss their observations as a group.
4	Group Activity	5	Distribute soft musical instruments. Have students play along to the rhythm of the song. Encourage them to express themselves and experiment with sounds.
5	Create a Class Rhyme	5	Collaborate as a class to create a simple rhyme on chart paper. Write it down together, encouraging participation from all students.
6	Conclusion and Homework	5	Review what was learned in the lesson. Assign a simple homework task — students can draw a picture related to their favorite rhyme and take the handout home. Gently remind them that their homework will be collected but not presented in front of the class.
