If a name doesn't fit the rhythm of this song, you can still fit it in! For instance, for "Ramon," sing" Ra- moh-ohn, Ra-moh-ohn, pick up the telephoh-ohn..."
If you can't think of a real word that rhymes, make up one of your own, like "Laura...is going to the store-a."
CHORUS:
I'll make a rhyme and we'll play a game,
Rhyming means things sound the same,
Same game, game same,
Let's begin with someone's name!
Ella, Ella, remember your umbrella
Ella, Ella, remember your umbrella
CHORUS
Caroline, Caroline, won't you be a friend of mine
Caroline, Caroline, won't you be a friend of mine
Taylor, Taylor grew up to be a sailor
Taylor, Taylor grew up to be a sailor
Cory, Cory remembers every story
Cory, Cory remembers every story
I'll make a rhyme and we'll play a game,
Rhyming means things sound the same,
Same game, game same,
Find a rhyme for your own name!
