About this resource
Description
Hearing the first sound in a word is one of the first big steps toward reading and spelling. This consonant sounds activity turns that skill into a sweet ice cream game for Preschool, Kindergarten and 1st Grade. Children say the name of each picture, listen for its beginning consonant sound, and stack the picture scoop on the cone with the matching letter.
How to Use the Beginning Sound Scoops Activity
Print the cards, cut them apart on the dashed lines, and lay the six Cone Cards in a row. Each cone shows one consonant letter: B, D, F, M, S or T. Children pick a Scoop Card, name the picture, and place it on the cone that makes the same first sound until every cone holds a stack of four scoops. The game works well in a small group, a literacy center or one-on-one with a teacher. Afterward, children draw or write their scoops on the Scoop Stacks recording sheet, and a Kindergarten practice page lets them write the beginning letter for six new pictures. This preschool beginning sounds activity needs only scissors, crayons and a pencil.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with simple steps
- 6 Cone Cards with consonant letters
- 24 picture Scoop Cards
- Scoop Stacks recording sheet
- Kindergarten practice worksheet
- Card answer key and practice answer key
Why Kids Love It
First, the hands-on stacking keeps young learners busy saying words out loud and listening closely to each sound. Second, every picture has one clear name, so children can check their own thinking. Third, the answer key lets the game become a self-checking center that children can play again and again.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Start with two or three cones and add more as children grow more confident. Ask children to find one more object in the room for each cone, or play a quick round of I Spy with the six letters. Use this consonant sounds activity as a warm-up before a phonics lesson or as a review at home.
