Creative Phonics Activities

Child at desk sorting through her phonics cards.

Enjoy some of our expertly designed phonics activities to enjoy at home using your Enchanting Learning Cards.

Pick and Hunt: Place cards in a bag or box where they can't be seen and ask your child to pick a card at random, say the central sound on the card and then find as many items around the room/house/garden as they can in a set time frame  - Great for working on linking letter sounds to words and objects.

 

SATPIN: Pick the first 6 cards in Set 1 ( s,a,t,p,i and n) cut up lots of small (2cm squared) pieces of paper with those letters written on. Using the letter sounds, ( not names) challenge your child to build as many 3 letter words as they can. If this is a bit tricky, write a list of words from the cards ( blue lists) for them to copy and build from -  Good for word building from their first few known sounds ( phonics).

Magazine Snipping: Using child-appropriate scissors and an old magazine, ask your child to pick 4 cards (noticing the central sound) and then cut out pictures of items beginning with that sound. You could then use the pictures to decorate a giant version of the letter sound. - Brilliant for learning new sounds and thinking about them at the beginning of words!

Nonsense Aliens:  Divide an A4 piece of plain paper into a grid. Using the green nonsense word lists on the cards, write one word at the bottom of each grid space and challenge your child to get creative and draw their own alien to match the crazy word. - Perfect for introducing your child to non-word reading ( using their phonics) which is an important skill to learn.
