Gobble Gobble! A Beginning Sounds Game

Are your little learners working on their beginning sounds? I have a fun game for you today to help them practice those letter sounds!

I’ve been playing this game with my own kids for many years and now get to play it with my nephews on Thanksgiving. We all sit around after eating our yummy Thanksgiving dinner, some people looking at the ads and getting their Black Friday shopping lists ready, some cleaning up and I get to play this fun game with the kiddos!

the setup

To play the game, all you need to do is download the printable at the bottom of the post. Cut out all of the squares and laminate so you can play the game over and over again. You will also need some kind of container to put the cards in. I used a basket I had in my decoration stash, but you can use anything you have on hand.

to play

This game can be played with one student or many. You will put all of the cards into the container and shake them up. Have a student pull out a card, look at the letter and say the sound it makes. If playing alone, choose another card and repeat. If playing with other students move to the next person to take a turn.

There are also some cards that say, Gobble! Gobble! If a student chooses a Gobble Gobble! card, they gobble like a turkey and put all of their letters back in the container and it’s the next players’ turn or they can start over again if playing alone.

There are both uppercase and lowercase letters. You can choose to use them both or just one set, the game will work the same either way.

My little friends love playing this game so much and get so into saying gobble gobble like a turkey. They hope to pull those cards!
