Play-Based Phonics Activities for Kindergarten

Play-based learning activities are engaging, meaningful, and fun! Students are actively involved in their learning with these 10 play-based phonics activities.

Included are detailed instructions, materials lists, and set up procedures for some of the most popular play-based activities I've shared on Instagram during this unique school year as well as some new activities.

Here are the activities and the content areas they address:

1. Invisible Letters (Letter ID)
2. The Never-Ending Rhyme (Rhyming recognition)
3. Syllable Hopscotch (Syllable ID)
4. Hide and Seek Word Parts (Onset and rime)
5. Pushing Sounds (Segmenting and blending)
6. Presto Change-o Words (Substituting sounds)
7. Sound Scavenger Hunt (Letter sound ID)
8. Vowel in a Cup (Vowel sound ID)
9. Charades (Sight word recognition)
10. Password (Sight word recognition)

You can follow the directions as written or have fun ad-libbing with your students. Some of these activities are perfect during initial instruction or as a review activity. You can also use them for formative or summative assessments with the open-ended checklist (included).
