50 ABC Letters and Sounds Games • Kids Activities Blog

Today we have a whole bunch of alphabet fun with letter and sounds learning games and activities for toddlers and preschoolers to help you young students prepare to read with fun pre-reading playful learning ideas.

ABC Games & Alphabet Sounds

Many parents have kids that are soon to enter kindergarten for the first time and are wondering what their kids should know before they head out to school on their own.

As a mom who once taught Kindergarten, I always wanted to make sure my kids are well-prepared and ready to begin their school career with a bit of an advantage by knowing their letters and sounds.

I have seen the value in children knowing their letters early.

That said, I also recognize that kids are kids, and I want to make sure they have time to play – both independently and with me.

Learning Through Alphabet Games

Children acquire knowledge through play, so learning letters at our house is rarely a sit down structured time.

It’s a time of play and games!

The kids have fun and don’t even realize they are learning at the same time. I don’t believe we should leave teaching up to the schools. You get the great honor of being an educator of your child, and you can supplement what is happening at school by engaging your child in enjoyable yet educational ways.

Related: Check out our huge abc letters resource that has letter activities, letter crafts, letter printables and more for every letter of the alphabet!

I hope these resources help you feel equipped to take the reins in your own child’s education.

25 word, letter and speech games

Games with words, letters, sentences and texts are among the most accessible in almost any conditions, some games may require helpers - paper and pen, pictures, but they are not always needed. And the potential of such games is huge:
- development of speech
- development of fantasy and imagination
- development of logic
- development of attention
- development of phonetic hearing
- development of speech breathing
- development of correct pronunciation
- literacy development
And much more. I'm not talking about the fact that it can be fun, and even a lot of fun! The children and I have collected a collection of games that I now want to talk about.

1. Make a word

I gave the children flashcards with letters that could form the words ACROBAT and PLATE.
She mixed the letters and offered to make the longest word.
The girls made up from the PLATE, until they thought of it, the word ROCKET was formed.

Arthur and Rodion tormented ACROBAT for a long time, but in the end they made it right.
You can also give the task to make as many words as possible from the given letters.

2. Tongue twisters

Repeating tongue twisters is always very helpful. Unfortunately, we don’t always remember a lot of different ones, but you can write out tongue twisters on a piece of paper in advance or do it even easier, as I did - install an application with tongue twisters on your phone, they are even voiced so that children who can’t read can repeat.

3. A runaway letter

Words are written on a piece of paper in which any letter is repeated 2-3 times. This letter is skipped. The task of the children is to understand which letter has escaped and return it to its place.
I took these words:
z_g_dk_a,
z_b_v_,
_Buk_,
_b_d_k,
p_len_,
Z_l_n,
p_r_d_lka,
pr_v_d,
K_LYA_,
P_V_R_T,
D_RAL,
m_LL.
Only vowels are omitted here, but consonants can also be omitted. It's more difficult, but also interesting.

4. Conversation with a prefix.

Select some "prefix" to the words, for example, KA. And add it in conversation to each word. For starters, you can try adding it at the end of words, it's easier. Then complicate the task and add at the beginning of the word. In order to make it easier for children to compose a story, you can ask different questions, such as:
- What did you eat for breakfast?
- What was the cartoon you watched about?
- What games did you play today?
- Tell us about your family?
- Describe your room? etc.

A very fun and frankly infectious game. Stopping is not always easy. A word is chosen with which a pure phrase is invented. For example, PHONE. Background-background-background - suddenly the phone rang. CAT. Otik-otik-otik - a cat runs. FLOWER. Ok-ok-ok - a big flower is growing. I will show a video where children play this game.

6. Words

This game is familiar to everyone since childhood. Remember we played Cities? When the last letter of the city name had to come up with another city name, and so on. Little children still know few cities, so you can just play words with them, when any other is thought up for the last letter of one word, and so on in a chain.

7. Damaged phone
.
Also a game familiar to everyone since childhood. If there are a lot of people at all, it is very fun. And if it's more difficult to choose words .... In general, we played four of us and it was funny.

8. Explain the meaning of the word.

This game will be useful and interesting not only for children, but also for the adult who plays it. Are you sure that all children understand the meanings of the words you tell them? Sometimes you can learn very unexpected things. The game is interesting because children try to explain even a familiar word in a connected way, they try to guess the meaning of a particular word, and in the end, of course, they must get a definition of the word from an adult. It expands vocabulary and is also fun. Watch the video as the children explained the words.

9. One letter sentence.

This game may not be that easy even for adults. You need to come up with a sentence for any one letter. And let it be a little awkward, but related. For example: A greedy animal lived, chewed on fat beetles and turned yellow. Short prepositions and conjunctions with other letters are allowed.

10. Fables

Tell stories. Ask the child yourself the beginning, and let the children invent the continuation of the story. Here are some fables that can be:

- When I went to ride dinosaur

- I once traveled on cloud

- Once I fell into a cup

- I once drank from a bottle of the inscription "Don't drink me!"

- When I was sitting in a tree and hatched chicks

11. Cheerful animated letters.

Children and I brought letters to life on the pavement. At first, the children simply drew letters, and then they were "animated", finished drawing and even gave them names. Each letter has its own characteristics, character, hobbies.

Letter T from Rodion.

The letter J is from Anechka's neighbor.

Letter A from Arthur.

Letter Sh from Christina.

Here is what the children said about their letters.

12. Relive history.

For this game, you need to either take a short story with some words often repeated, or just compose it, you can during the game. Repeating words are assigned an action that children should do when they hear them. We had such a history.

“Once upon a time there was a CAT and a DOG. RUN they somehow climbed for MUSHROOMS. The CAT was the first to find the MUSHROOM. DOG got mad at him and RUN On the other side. The CAT screamed AU-AU. And PES did not respond. Then the CAT RUN look for PSA. RUN over the bridge over the RIVER, stumbled and scattered MUSHROOMS. A PES In the meantime, he got scared and also began to call AU-AU. Screaming right next to the CAT. The CAT from surprise fell into the RIVER. The CAT began to call for help, the DOG heard him. I rushed into the RIVER to save the CAT. pulled out DOG CAT from the RIVER. They collected MUSHROOMS and RUN home.

Highlighted words with actions.

And here's what happened, look at the video.

13. Words are reversed.

This game of antonyms. Or not quite antonyms, but words similar to opposites. For example, the word white has an antonym black. What about the word table? But we can assume the opposite - a chair. Or a letter - a number, a book - a notebook. There are also direct antonyms, especially in adjectives. In general - room for imagination. I used this game to find surprises for children. They were given the words LOFT, ON A CHAIR, BLACK BOX.

As a result, in the BASEMENT, UNDER THE TABLE, in a WHITE PACKAGE, the children found a bag of sweets.

For the following games we used picture cards. Such cards have an incredible potential, I'm sure that there are many more of them, but for now I'm sharing our 12 finds. By the way, not all games require cards, you can just come up with words and call them to children, but with cards it is more convenient and there is a moment of luck and surprise).

14. Story by pictures.

Take turns taking one card from the pile and making up a story. The important thing is to keep her connected. Any number of cards per story, the younger the child, the fewer cards should be used. In a large company, too, you should not flirt, so that the children do not wait a long time for their turn.

Here are some of the stories the kids have.

15. Crocodile

A card is drawn, and you need to explain to others what is shown on it, without naming the object. The rest of the kids guess. You can also show the word.

16. Where does he live?

Cards are removed from the stack in order. About each object, the children tell in a circle where he lives. Of course, you can’t repeat yourself, you can invent a “house” until the options run out. How we fantasized can be seen in the video.

17. How does it sound?

This time, everyone takes a turn drawing a card and trying to imitate or describe the sound that this object makes. After all, in fact, even the jacket "sounds". Sometimes it is very difficult, but the more interesting.

18. Rhymes.

You can simply ask words and invent rhymes for them. And you can pull out the cards in turn and come up with a rhyme for the word that the picture means. If you come up with a card for yourself. Who will have more cards at the end of the game?

19. Title of the film.

Two cards are pulled out - you need to come up with a name for the film using them.

20. What do you have in common?

Again we pull out two cards and find something in common between the objects.

21. Magic item.

Pull out two cards and imagine that they are united. what happens?

22. Advertising.

Is it easy to advertise anything? We draw a card, recognize our object and make an advertisement for it. And here's how it turned out for children.

23. What is it like?

We draw out a card and in a circle we offer options - what this object is like, naming suitable adjectives.

24. I dream about....

A fun game. The child says "I dream about ..." and draws a card. Names the object that is depicted on it and continues "because ...". And here you need to compose the reason why he dreams about this subject. Watch the video of how we played.

25. Once fell from the sky....

The game is similar to the previous one. Only at first the phrase "Once fell from the sky ..." is said, and then, after he pulls out a card and names the object, he comes up with a continuation of the story "And ...".

These games are useful on the road, while waiting in line, just for a walk and at home. They do not take much time, but they are fun and useful. Have a fun time!
