  1. Letter Sound Matching Game: Prepare a set of flashcards with the 48 letter sounds and symbols. Divide the students into pairs or small groups. Each group will have a set of flashcards. One student will hold up a flashcard and say the corresponding sound, while the other student finds the matching symbol. They can take turns being the one to hold up the flashcards.

  2. Letter Sound Scavenger Hunt: Hide various objects around the classroom that start with different letter sounds. Give each student a list of the 48 letter sounds and symbols. They have to find the objects and match them to the correct letter sound on their list. For example, if they find a toy car, they would match it to the letter sound “c.”

  3. Letter Sound Relay Race: Divide the students into two teams. Set up two sets of flashcards with the 48 letter sounds and symbols at opposite ends of the room. Each team will line up behind their set of flashcards. The first student in each line will run to the flashcards, pick one up, and say the corresponding sound. They then run back and tag the next person in line, who repeats the process. The team that finishes first, with all members correctly identifying the sounds, wins.

  4. Letter Sound Bingo: Create bingo cards with a grid of letter sounds and symbols. Call out a letter sound, and the students have to find the corresponding symbol on their bingo card and mark it. The first student to get a line or a full card wins.

  5. Letter Sound Sorting: Prepare a set of objects or picture cards that start with different letter sounds. Give each student a sorting mat with the 48 letter sounds and symbols. The students have to sort the objects or picture cards onto the correct letter sound on their mat. For example, they would place a picture of a cat on the “c” sound.

  6. Letter Sound Relay Drawing: Divide the students into two teams. Give each team a large piece of paper and a marker. One student from each team will run to the front of the room, pick a flashcard with a letter sound, and draw an object that starts with that sound on their team’s paper. They then run back and tag the next person in line, who repeats the process. The team with the most correctly drawn objects wins.

Remember to adapt these activities based on the abilities and needs of your students.
