Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — Issue 55: Rhyme Time

Cat and hat, sun and fun, top and hop, fan and pan — can your little one catch a runaway rhyme? 🎶

Welcome to Issue 55 of the Shalvit Kids TV Magazine — a giant 135-page month of stories, songs and smiles, all about RHYME TIME: nursery rhymes and word play, with every rhyme and song written fresh and original for this issue (no copied rhyme lyrics anywhere — even the silly ones are proudly labelled made-up-and-silly!). Kiki, Bibo, Lulu and Pip chase a runaway rhyme through the street and catch it the only way you can — by finding rhyming words — then clap syllables, play waiting-time rhyme games, count books in a bookshop, build a cheese-and-cracker clock, and learn Grandma's counting rhymes in Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa!

What's inside (135 pages!):

- The Rhyme That Got Away — a 26-page book-length hero story: a golden rhyme bounces out of its book, and the cast catch it with the locked rhyme families -at (cat/hat) · -un (sun/fun) · -op (top/hop) · -an (fan/pan), with the refrain "Words that sound the same — that is the rhyme game!"

- Lulu's Silly Rhyme Book — an 18-page second story: gentle nonsense rhymes invented by the cast, clearly labelled made-up-and-silly, with a real-or-silly sorting game and a lesson on being an author

- Bible Story Time: Hannah Prays for a Baby (1 Samuel 1) — Hannah's prayer, Eli's kind words, baby Samuel, and Hannah giving him to serve God, ending at the dedication: "God hears us when we pray" (cast as presenters only; God shown as golden light only)

- Feelings Corner: Feeling Bored — bored is a waiting feeling, not a naughty one — plus three rhyme games that rescue any waiting time (Rhyme Hunt, Clap the Syllables, Finish My Rhyme)

- Sing With Us — two full ORIGINAL songs with lyrics and actions: the rhyming song "Words That Rhyme" and the clapping rhyme song "Clap a Rhyme With Me"

- Learning Lab — the Rhyme Lab — the four rhyme families taught and practised, syllable clapping (words sorted by 1, 2 and 3 claps — counts exact and verified), first/middle/last sounds, a Books We Love + Our Library spread for World Book Day, a pull-out-style Rhyme Family Poster, and Kiki Asks Why? "Why do rhymes help us read?" (Rhyme tunes our ears to sounds!)

- Count & Find — the bookshop count: 8 red books and 6 blue books (every count drawn, numbered and verified), plus green books, pencils, stars, bookmarks and 10 rhyme cards in five true rhyming pairs

- Puzzle Pages — two solver-verified mazes, spot-the-difference, word patterns, rhyme-pair matching, dot-to-dot 1–12, pairs puzzles and the Big Quiz of the Issue — with a full answer key at the back

- Jokes & Giggles — clean, gentle rhyme jokes plus a That's Silly! spot-what's-wrong page

- Colour & Create — 4 colouring pages, 2 colour-by-number pages and 2 draw-it-yourself pages

- Make It — rhyme-puppet spoons (Cat Spoon and Hat Spoon!), step by step, with all cutting clearly marked as a grown-up step

- Yummy Corner — a clock-face cheese-and-crackers plate under the full kitchen-safety lock (hands washed first; a grown-up prepares and cuts the cheese; children build COLD only and count exactly 12 crackers in true clock order)

- Our Nigeria — Grandma's Counting Rhymes: greetings and counting to three in Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa with simple translations, plus a That's Cool! box (Nigeria has over 500 languages!)

- Parent Pages + Full Answer Key — what your child learned, how to play the pages together, a gentle note on waiting games and early reading, and every answer, cross-checked against the drawn pages

What your child will learn:

- Rhyming ears — words that share the same ending sound, the first big step towards reading

- Syllables and sounds — clapping word parts (1, 2, 3 claps) and hearing first, middle and last sounds

- Counting with exact, numbered, verified quantities — books, pencils, stars and 12 clock crackers

- Feelings skills — naming boredom and turning waiting time into word play

- Kitchen and craft safety for life — handwashing first, grown-ups for sharp and cutting
