This song is performed on Fran Avni's Little Ears: 27 Songs For Reading Readiness.

This song is also performed on Fran Avni's I'm All Ears: Sing Into Reading.

    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!
