October FREE Rhyming Printables | Pumpkin Rhyming Activities

Help students build important phonological awareness skills with these FREE October Rhyming Cut and Glue Printables! These engaging pumpkin-themed activities give students meaningful practice identifying rhyming words by sorting picture cards into the correct pumpkin picture groups.

Rhyming is an important early literacy skill that helps students recognize and compare sounds in spoken words. These hands-on printables make rhyming practice fun and accessible without requiring students to read printed words.

Students begin by identifying the target picture on each pumpkin. They then cut out the picture cards, say each picture name, and determine which words rhyme with the target picture. Students glue the matching pictures into the correct sorting area.
