This would be a great activity to use as an assessment for the class. The teacher can see which students are understanding and which are not. Students use their phonological awareness in order to rhyme the pictures in bingo.

12. Alphabet sounds Fishing and Matching 

# data[].attributes.body
This activity is a-lot of fun and helps TK and Kindergarten learn their ABCs and sounds. Students are in a group of two and help each-other collect the balls and match them to the carton with letters. The teacher asks the students what letter to look for and the sound they place that letter in its matching letter in the carton.

Use ping-pong balls to practise letter names and sounds with a fun fishing and matching game for pre-schoolers!

Recently I found a large box of ping-pong balls for only £1 in the Pound Shop and bought them up (like I always do!) thinking they would be useful for something one day! They've turned out to be fantastic for making alphabet games with, and here is the first one that the girls enjoyed doing recently. Using a Sharpie permanent marker I simply wrote one letter of the alphabet on each ball, uppercase on one side and lowercase on the other.

Then we dropped them into a large tub of water which I'd coloured with a few drops of blue gel food colouring.

Next I wrote out the letters of the alphabet into the spaces in some empty egg cartons and we placed those next to the tub, ready for filling up with the fished out balls. With a little fishing net set out next to the set up , we were ready to play!

They took it in turns to find the letter of the alphabet that I was calling out. I made the letter SOUND rather than said the letter name itself (used the phoneme rather than the grapheme) and they had to join in repeating the sound out-loud with me as they looked for its corresponding letter. When they found it they fished it out and looked for its matching letter in the box and put it in.

They continued until they had found all the letters of the alphabet, and then (with my newly 5 year old) we used some of them to make small CVC words together . There are lots of other hands-on ways to play with these alphabet balls and we will share some more fun activities soon.

Cakie: 5.0

Pop: 3.6

Bean; 18 mos
What they are learning as they play:
literacy: letter and phoneme correspondence, phonics, sight recognition of graphemes, simple spelling

maths: matching and sorting

physical: gross motor co-ordination skills

This is a great activity to help children in sounding their words. The spoons provide a consonant and the teacher provides the sheet. The spoon helps the students sound, blend and connect. This is a great tool for kindergarten and a very fun activity.

Why hello there my fellow blogger buddies!

Were you wondering if I fell off the face of the Earth? If I did not, in fact, survive the madness of the holiday season? If a pack of rabid kindergarteners ate me alive??!! DON'T FRET!! I'm back. :)

Not only am I back, but I have a great little somethin' to share! Now, let me first just say that this is in no way my idea. Nope. Negative. All the credit for this idea goes to one of my fellow kinder teachers, who got it from another kinder teacher, who . . .well, you get the idea. Not original, but just one that I thought ought to be shared.

So this little phonemic awareness activity is called Magic Spoons. Basically, in order to help children with sounding out words, even those pesky nonsense words, you take a pack of spoons and on each spoon write a consonant. (For the letter Q you write a "qu" combo - because those two are always together.) These will be used as the initial consonants of the words the students will be reading. Then, students practice with one spoon at a time adding the first letter to various different word family endings. As the Magic Spoon moves from word ending to word ending . . . POOF! A new word appears! Magic.

When my teacher friends were sharing this idea with me, I immediately envisioned shiny, glittering, golden spoons that were oh-so-magical. So, when it came time to make my OWN Magic Spoons, I had to track down . . . you guessed it . . . golden spoons. (The power is in the golden-ness, right?)

Anywho, I found these packs of golden spoons at Party City for cheap (AND was able to walk out of there with ONLY the spoons - yay for self control!).

Next, I wrote on my spoons. (Best kindergarten printing!!)

Finally, I created three sheets to use with my magic spoons. On the left is a sheet of two letter word family endings, the middle sheet is three letter word family endings, and the final sheet is ONLY consonant letters. My plan with that sheet is to then create a second set of magic spoons where the word family ending is on the spoon. Are you following all of this?

For a PDF file of these three sheets, click on the image below. (I plan to copy each sheet on a different color of cardstock and laminate for durability . . . and for protection from all the magic-ness!)

But wait, there's more! If you would like to use this idea in a whole group setting, fear not! I plan to (in all of my spare time . . . whenever that may be) get large wooden spoons to use to get the whole class involved at once! Gold spray paint . . .here I come!

Anyway, I would love to hear about if and how you use Magic Spoons in YOUR classroom! Or maybe you yourself are the inventor of this great idea . . .in which case, thanks!

Happy teaching this week!
