Sounds in Poetry Worksheet

Read each line aloud. Rhyme comes from matching end sounds; alliteration repeats the same starting sound. Answer the questions, then try making some sound patterns of your own.

Hear and spot the sounds

Choose the best answer for each question. In the matching activity, connect each word to its rhyme.

1.Which pair has the same end sound?
  • glow / snow
  • fern / farm
  • boat / boot
2.In the line “Misty mountains meet the morning”, which pair of words begins with the same sound?
  • Misty / mountains
  • Misty / the
  • morning / the
3.Match each word with a word that rhymes.
  • rain
  • night
  • show
  • train
  • kite
  • glow
4.Select every phrase that uses alliteration.
  • Clever crabs crawl
  • The wide river
  • Silver stars shine
  • A warm breeze

Make your own sound patterns

Use the writing lines to create and reflect. Your examples can be different from the samples in the answer guide.

5.Write two pairs of rhyming words connected to a day at school.
6.Write a sentence about a New Zealand landscape that uses at least three words beginning with the same sound.
7.Which was easier for you to notice: rhyme or alliteration? Which took more thought? Explain your choices in one or two sentences.
8.Choose one challenge: write a four-line verse with rhyming end words, or write a tongue twister that repeats a starting sound.
