Are you looking for a fun way for kids to learn about beginning sounds? Beginning sounds bingo is a phonological awareness activity that is a great way to help get children ready to read.
GETTING READY TO PLAY BEGINNING SOUNDS BINGO
Full Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.
Materials Needed: beginning bingo sheets (free printable below) and counters (candies, buttons, crackers, etc.)
Just print out the bingo sheets. I’ve included 8 FREE printable bingo boards (see below) that are in color. Each board is different in the set. You could [easyazon_link identifier=”B0010JEJPC” locale=”US” tag=”groboobyboo-20″]laminate[/easyazon_link] the boards if you want to use them for years to come.
Give each child a handful of counters. I like to use mini erasers. You could also use counting cubes, candy, or buttons.
PLAYING BEGINNING SOUNDS BINGO
- Have the kids cover up their free spot in the middle of the board.
- Call out a sound. Each child should place a marker on a picture that begins with the sound called. Get five in a row or column and call, “BINGO” to win.
For example, if you call the sound /t/, the child would cover up the picture of the tent.
A list of words is provided.
