To Skeet or Not to Skeet

My san nensei students want to learn pronunciation differences between sheet and seat.. so I am making a worksheet with a group of rhyming words to practice... here is what I have...

sheet, seat, sweet....street, sleet, skeet...

can I use skeet? It is type of shooting game... but....??

I can just see the lesson now...
sheet, sheet, sheet, sheet, seat, seat, seat, seat, sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet, street, street, street, street, sleet, sleet, sleet, sleet, skeet, skeet, skeet, skeet.....

will I be able to contain my laughter?? I truly just know too much slang for my own good...

this is not as bad as Dave's rhyming practice....
sang, sang, sang, sang, gang, gang, gang, gang, bang, bang, bang, bang.....
