As promised, I have made more of the Letter Sounds Listening Games. This set is K-O. You can find games for the other letters in previous posts (see links at bottom of this post).
To prepare this game, first print out the word cards on card stock (laminate if you choose). The third page could be copied onto regular copy paper for each child if you choose to send it home. Or, if you want to make reusable mats, copy it on card stock and laminate to use with dry erase markers or crayons. This is an activity for a small group, where the teacher is working with the children, reading the word cards to them.
To play this game, give each child a letter mat, with either a bingo dot marker or a rubber stamp and ink pad. Shuffle all of the word cards. Go through the stack of cards, calling out each word. Children listen for the beginning sound of each word. If the word begins with the letter, they stamp over one of the letters on their mat. If the word does not begin with the letter, they do not mark anything on their mat. When all of the word cards have been read, everyone should have stamped all of the letters on the mat. (This is similar to a bingo game.)

This is great! I have been looking for activities that stress “listening” for beginning sounds. Thanks!
Great! I was so excited when I looked at the web site today and found the Letters and Sounds Listening Game # 3! I printed them out right away!
Will there be two more sets? I will keep an eye out for them!
Thanks for the great teaching tool!
