I wish I found this last year .... such a fun game. So a HUGE skill in the first months of kindergarten is hearing the beginning sound. This is actually a skill that we test throughout kindergarten. Please play this game with your incoming kindergarten student. If students have this skill it makes reading SOOOO much easier.
Nine Squares is an activity where students have a choice of nine pictures. They need to identify which one begins with the sound given. They can even roll the arrow over the picture to hear the beginning letter sound. Once all nine are identified, a picture is revealed.
The Painting Game is a game where
children match pictures with sounds. It focuses on initial sounds.
Students listen to the word and chooses the word that begins with the
same sound. They can even roll the arrow over the picture to hear the beginning letter sound.
Rubber Ducky is a matching game where students must match the sound to the letter on the rubber duck.
Each of these games has oral directions that can be used or turned off.
