Fish Wish
Object
of the game:
To get more pairs
of rhyming cards than anyone else!
Supplies
Needed:
1 deck of cards
with rhyming words
How
to Play:
This game is played just like
Fish, except you try to get words that rhyme!
1st: Every players gets 5 cards,
and the rest of the cards go in a pile in the center, face down.
2nd: The youngest person playing
gets to go first. Everyone look at the cards they have, and then the first
player asks one of the other players if they have a word that rhymes with one
of the words they have in their hand.
(Player 1:" I wish for a word that rhymes
with Fish (or cap or tell)!")
3rd: Two things can happen now:
If the player you asked doesn't
have a matching rhyme card, you pick a card from the pile and it becomes the
next person's turn. (Even if you pick a matching card, you have to wait until
the next turn to put the pair down.)
-or-
If the player you asked does have
a matching rhyme card, they give you their card. You put their card and your
card down, face up, in front of you. You made a pair, and now you get to ask if
someone has another card that rhymes with one of the cards you have left in
your hand.
4th: If you run out of cards, you
pick 5 more from the pile. The game ends when all of the matches are made. Whoever
has the most pairs of rhyming cards wins!
To make your own set
of cards:
Index cards work really well for
this game, and you can get them in all different colors.
Write one word on each card - make sure that every word has a match. There has
to be an even number of cards. Don't use a marker that shows through on the
other side!
Here is a list of Rhyming Word Pairs you can use to play this game! You
can add your own too!
