Fun and Festive Beginning Sounds Game

This beginning sounds game features 30 Christmas-themed objects, each paired with a card showing its starting letter. Students will:

• Match pictures to the corresponding beginning sounds.
• Build vocabulary and phonemic awareness.
• Strengthen early reading skills while enjoying a holiday-themed activity.

To play, lay all cards face-down. Students take turns flipping two cards at a time to find matches. Correct matches are set aside, and the player with the most pairs at the end wins. This hands-on beginning sounds game is perfect for literacy centres, small-group work, or morning rotations.
