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

Why don't you play the knock out game, but have only 2 students come to the front of the class and go head to head.... and the rest of the class (divided into 2 teams) can help their team member by shouting answers to them.
Keep score of each round.....
