PHONEME MATCHING GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITY 3: Three stack
Use the cards on pages 29–34 for this activity.
Photocopy, laminate and cut out the cards. Place all the cards marked ‘1’ in one
stack, all those marked ‘2’ in another stack and all those marked ‘3’ in a third
stack. The stacks should all be placed facedown.
Players take turns to select the top card from each of the three stacks. They say
the name of the picture and the sound each begins with. If the sounds on all
three cards match, the player keeps all three cards. If two match, they keep the
two, and place the extra card somewhere in its original stack. If no cards match,
all cards are placed in the middle of their respective stack.
The game continues until as many matches as possible are made.
To make it easier for children to return picture cards to the correct stack, write
the numbers on the back of the cards.
Words have been placed on all picture cards to ensure the correct words are
provided. The children are not expected to read the words.
ACTIVITY 4: What’s at the end?
Use the cards on pages 35–37 for this activity.
Play this game like Concentration
or Memory .
The cards are placed spread out,
facedown on a flat surface.
Two to four players take turns to
turn over two picture cards. The
player names the objects and if
both objects end with the same
sound, the player keeps the cards.
If the cards end in different sounds,
the cards are turned over, and
players try to remember where
they are for their next turn!
The winner is the player with the
most pairs when all cards have
been matched.
• Identify and match objects that begin with the same sound • Identify and match objects that begin with the same sound
