Phonics is the first step to reading. For preschoolers aged 3 years onwards, learning letter sounds should feel like play. Fun games, stories, and songs make children excited to learn—and that’s exactly what parents can do at home while also supporting progress with holistic phonics classes at Achievers Destination Academy, available both online and offline.

9 Fun and Engaging Phonic Activities for Preschoolers

1. Sound Treasure Hunt

• Collect everyday objects like apple, ball, cup, spoon, etc.
• Place them around the room.
• Call out a sound (like “/b/”).
• Ask your child to find an object starting with that sound.
• Tip: Start with 2–3 items at a time and gradually increase.

2. Phonics Hopscotch

• Draw hopscotch squares with chalk (outdoors) or tape (indoors).
• Write one letter in each square.
• Call out a sound: “Find /a/.”
• Child jumps on the square with “a.”
• Variation: Call out a word, and the child hops on the starting letter.

3. Storytelling with Sounds

• Pick a sound of the day (like “s”).
• Make a silly story using as many “s” words as possible.
  Example: “Sam saw six silly snakes singing songs.”
• Ask your child to repeat or add to the story.

4. Letter-Sound Art

• Choose a letter sound (like “m”).
• Provide paper and crayons.
• Ask your child to draw things that begin with that sound (moon, mango, mat).
• While drawing, encourage them to say the word aloud.

5. Sing the Sound Songs

• Use nursery rhymes or phonics songs online.
• Emphasize repeating sounds: “a-a-apple, b-b-ball.”
• Encourage your child to clap or dance while singing.

6. Mystery Sound Bag

• Take a small bag and put in objects (cup, toy car, apple, spoon).
• Ask your child to pick one without looking.
• They say the first sound of the object.
• Fun twist: You guess the object when they only say the sound.

7. Match the Picture and Sound

• Make/buy flashcards with letters and pictures.
• Spread them on the floor.
• Ask your child to match the letter “c” with “cat” or “car.”
• Variation: Say the sound, and child picks the matching picture.

8. Clap the Syllables

• Say simple words (apple, banana, butterfly).
• Ask your child to clap for each part: “ap-ple” (2 claps).
• Start with easy words, then move to longer ones.

9. Online Phonics Games

• Use interactive phonics apps or websites.
• Look for games that involve blending sounds, identifying first letters, or matching pictures.
• At Achievers Destination Academy’s online phonics classes, children also get guided digital resources to practice from home.
