Classroom Phonics Games for Kindergarten
In Kindergarten, we are always practicing phonics skills. Whether it’s beginning sounds in September or CVCe words in April… It’s All. Year. Long! We know that phonics should be taught and practiced in a variety of ways. These fun phonics games will keep your students engaged while they develop those, oh so, important skills.
How Do Students Play the Game?
Well… Jacque Barton and I wanted it to be fun and we all know that when it becomes a game… it is the BEST TIME EVER! So, students have their own game card and race to fill in the letters. The players take turns spinning the spinner and adding that sound to their game card. The game continues until a player fills their board.
We’ve included 14 phonics games in all, covering various literacy skills:
- Beginning Sounds
- Ending Sounds
- Beginning Blends & Digraphs
- CVC and CVCe Words
When Can You Use the Games in Your Classroom?
Literacy centers, intervention time, or small group instruction provide great opportunities to break out these games in your classroom. After a quick introduction, students become independent – especially with the ” I Can/Spinner” page. The skills change, but the rules don’t! A perfect game for any time of the year.
I found these small spinners on Amazon that work perfectly!
You can even add a response sheet for additional practice!
Add this fun and engaging game to your classroom!

Hi DeeDee,
I just wanted to say how much I LOVE your products! Thank you SO much for creating them to make our life easier in kindergarten! I just came across the Overhead station and wondered if you take suggestions for your products. I usually pair my students up to do centers because I like how having a partner works in my classroom. However, with the overhead station, one student practices the writing and the other is watching. I wondered if you could make the letter-writing pages so that it is divided into two columns so that two students could practice at the same time at the whiteboard…just a suggestion! Thank you again for all of you wonderful products!
Thank you for your kind words.
