These are my top 10 phonics classroom activities

Hey guys, since this channel is called "1st grade prep" I wanted to share 10 hands-on phonics activities that I’ve used to boost letter-sound recognition and blending skills in my classroom. Enjoy! 😊

1. Sound Hopscotch - Draw letters or word families on the ground and have kids jump while saying the sounds. 2. Mystery Bag Sounds - Fill a bag with objects and have kids pull one out and name the beginning sound. 3. Word Family Houses - Have students write “-at,” “-an,” etc., at the top of a paper house and fill it with words. 4. Phonics Bingo - Instead of numbers, use CVC words or blends! 5. Build words with magnetic letters - Give students a word ending and let them change the beginning sound. 6. Spin & Blend - Use a spinner with consonants and vowels to create real or silly words. 7. Silly Sentence Challenge - Have students use a list of phonics words to make a funny sentence. 8. Letter Scavenger Hunt - Find objects in the room that match a given phonics rule. 9. Partner Clap & Spell - One student says a word, and the partner claps out the sounds. 10. Phonics Art - Draw pictures of words that follow the same phonics pattern.
