I love to use rhyming songs such as Down By the Bay. I have a few verses on chart paper that we sing together and then we make up our own verses. I start by giving them the first part such as "Have you ever seen a duck, driving a ______" and they fill in the rhyming word. After a while, I have them come up with their own verses and we illustrate them and make a class book. They love to read it and it reinforces the rhyming words. There is also A Hunting We Will Go. It goes "A hunting we will go, A hunting we will go. We'll catch a ____ and put him in a ____ and then we'll let him go. We've come up with great words to put in such as snake/lake, cat/hat, bear/chair, pig/wig, mouse/house, ape/cape, bug/mug, goat/boat etc. Good luck and have fun.
