Default Rhyming Competition

Last week I was teaching a song with a worksheet of questions with it. In one section I asked the students to match the words that rhyme and they were pretty awful at it. I was astonished. Has anyone else ever noticed this? My students are 13-14 year olds and I'm working in China.
Anyway...I'm working on some rhyming games with them this week(like a rhyming last man standing or criss cross game) but I really want a great rhyming game as a sort of knock out competition, with a small prize at the end for the winner. I will run it next week to see how much they have improved. I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas what I could do...there is one big thing that must be considered, my classes have 60 students in them. So I'm trying to think of a knockout game, but I don't want the rest of the class to become bored waiting or once they have been knocked out of the competition.
PLEASE any ideas greatly appreciated
