Answer 1

Try to make the sounds at the end of each line sound the same.

This is called "rhyming".

You can do this with each line, with every other line or, for fun, every third line.

In a four-line verse, called a "quatrain" (from the Latin for 4), if the first line ends in an "E" sound(like free or sea), you can either rhyme the second line with an "E" sound(like me or tea), or, in the second and fourth line choose a different sound, like an "O" sound (like go or hello), and rhyme the third line with the first line.

If A stands for the "E" sound, and B stands for the "O" sound, a quatrain could either be AABB or ABAB.

The ABAB method is by far the most popular, however AABB has its adherents.

Just make sure the scansion (word underlay) is straightforward, and keep the verse tune different from the chorus tune. One tune throughout can be done (cf. "A Horse With No Name" by America), but a peppy chorus in ABAB format could get them to at least listen.

Oh, and stick to 4/4, 2/4 or 6/8 time. Your target audience will get quickly bored with anything esoteric. 6/8 is best for kids: it gets them swaying.

If V=verse and C=Chorus, my favorite format (and this is and old Folk format) is:
V1
C
V2
V3
C
V4
C
C (reprise)

P.S.: there are no rhymes for Purple, Silver, or Orange. There are, however, many for Tofu
