Phonics

Phonics Linked Activity

Can you blend the sounds of the names of your toy animals? Get a grown-up to say the sounds and then you can blend the sounds together. Play a game where your grown-up doesn't tell you which animal they are choosing. You will have to guess from the sounds in the name!

Here are some animal names that will work well:

• p-i-g

• c-a-t

• d-o-g

• h-or-se

• d-u-ck

• m-ou-se

• g-oa-t

Extra Challenge

Try to say the sounds yourself. This is called segmenting and it is very difficult. Have a go!
