Here is the final set of the Letter Sounds Listening Games. This set of Letter Sounds Listening Games is U-Z. 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.)

I love so many of your posts! I have shared one of your activities with my granddaughter. (sorting bugs into ‘jars’)
Because of her very positive response, I also shared the game recently with children at a rural school in Haiti.

Thanks! Glad they were helpful!
I think these are beautifully made as is everything on your site. I think the positive effect of any phonics cards would be enhanced by using lower case rather than upper case letters. After all, nearly every letter on a typical book page is lower case. There are many more reasons for using lower case first.
You are an amazing teacher. After 20 years of teaching first grade, I am moving down to a TK position. Your site has helped me soooooo much! I can’t thank you enough for your willingness to share for the benefit of others. Hugs to you!!!
Thanks, Tanya!
Thank you ! I have them now! This is great game for my parents to play with the students! Appreciate you!
I’ve been teaching a little over 20 years, mostly 3rd and 4th grades, also as a math coach, but have been moved to PreK. Your site has been a tremendous help. You’ve been a life saver. Thanks for all you do!!
