Phonics games – Fun online and offline ideas for EYFS and KS1

Boost reading and spelling skills with these games, activities, ideas and more for EYFS and KS1…

With phonics, it can be very easy to slip into a dull routine because you’re covering the same subject every day. However, if you have fun and enjoy exploring words and spellings, you can’t help passing on that enthusiasm to the children you teach. Here we set out the best phonics games ideas to explore with EYFS and KS1…

Offline phonics games

Online phonics games, phase 4 phonics games.

Use these phase 4 phonics games to help your pupils master blending and segmenting words. The full instructions are in the free download and include the following four games:

• Speedy read
• Tracking activity
• Hide the words
• Guess the missing letter

Dots and dashes spelling games

These phonics games for Year 1 from literacy resources website Plazoom will develop pupils’ segmenting skills. They’ll practise identifying the phonemes (sounds) in words and choosing the correct graphemes (letters) that represent these.

To play, they must find words that match the dots and dashes cards. Their knowledge of sound buttons will help them with this task. A variety of dots and dashes and word cards with are included in each.

Click the links to check out each phase’s game:

Gameshow activities

With a touch of game show theatre and very little effort, your phonics sessions can become a high point of the day. Try these phonics games from Jacqueline Harris…

Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

Who Wants to be a Millionaire?  is a very simple quiz format that is easy to turn into a phonics game. There’s no need to do 15 questions, five will fit nicely into the practise part of the phonics lesson.

You can, if you want, do the questions as multiple choice, depending on the class; multiple choice is easier.

Start with easy questions and ask the children to work in pairs to come up with the answers. I tend not to make children officially ‘out’, as then they would not be taking part. Add in ‘phoneme a friend’ for asking for support.

So, your quiz could look like this:

Example for Phase 5

• For £100, spell the word ‘tin’
• For £1,000, spell the word ‘remind’
• For £10,000, spell ‘child’ and ‘children’
• For £50,000, give two or more alternative spellings / words with long /i/ sound (eg pie, mine)
• For £1,000,000, what does ‘grind’ mean? (Hold up the word but don’t say it)

Alternatively, the £1,000,000 question could be a mini dictation for the ‘apply’ section of the lesson.

Children love getting £1,000,000 and plan all sorts of ways to spend it – even though they know it is not real.

Blankety Blank

Blankety Blank  asks that children use comprehension as well as spelling. You give a word and the children need to come up with another word that goes with it, so ‘ice’ could become ‘ice cream’ or ‘ice cold’, etc.

You give one point for the correct spelling of the keyword, which will be a grapheme from that week, and then an extra point if the second word is also correct.

If you are feeling generous, a third point can be awarded if they have more than one suggestion.

The children can work in pairs or small groups to complete the tasks; those with good comprehension but possibly poor spelling can shine with this game if well paired with other children.

Example for Phase 4

• Lamp – lamp post or headlamp
• Step – doorstep, footstep
• Stand – handstand, headstand, bookstand, coat stand
• Brush – hairbrush, nailbrush, paintbrush
• Lunch – lunchbox, lunchtime.

You may need to give lots of clues when you first play this game, but children get better at thinking about words with practise such as this.

The Generation Game

This involves memory as well as spelling ability and is a lot of fun. Pick four or five objects with names that include the grapheme you are working on.

Make a tray with the objects and give children a short time to look at and remember them. Then cover the tray up and ask children to write down, spelling correctly, the objects.

Example for Phase 3

• A tray with a ship, a shop (picture), a shell and a fish
• A challenge for the more able might be the addition of a brush and a shirt

Make phonics sunflowers

Introduce the concept of alternative graphemes (one sound that can be written in different ways) in KS1 with this listening experience… 

Step 1 

Start with noting down the alternative graphemes for the long vowel sounds ( phonemes ) – a  (ai) , e  (ee) , i  (igh) , o  (oa) , u  (y+oo) .

Say each vowel out loud for the class and ask them to repeat it. Next, get them to write down some alternative spellings for each sound (e.g. for ‘e’, they could write  ee, ea, e-e, ie, y , etc). You can model this on the board, or get them to write the spellings out in their books.

By starting with these sounds, you are enabling the children to understand the concept of alternative graphemes, which will then help them make connections to further spelling patterns, rules and homophones.   

Now that you have a list of alternative graphemes associated with each vowel sound, explain to pupils that they are going to work together to make ‘sound sunflowers’.

First, give each pupil one vowel sound to concentrate on – depending on how many pupils you have, there should be a few children working on each sound. This will be useful for group work, later.

Explain that they’ll be recording their chosen sound on a talking tin , which will act as the centre of their sunflower (I used talking tins that record for 10 seconds).

It’s best to model this part to show children how to record their sounds – the tins should come with instructions if you haven’t used them before.  

Once pupils have recorded their vowel sounds, it’s time to make the sunflower petals. Each flower should have enough petals for the alternative graphemes children have written down for their vowel sound (usually around six is sufficient).

You could either cut out the petals in advance, or ask children to do it themselves, depending on your class. Use yellow card so they don’t bend too much under the weight of the talking tins.

Once all the petals are cut out, overlap one end of each petal in a circular design until you have a flower shape. Glue or pin in place, and attach the talking tin to the centre.  

Now it’s time to add the alternative graphemes you wrote down earlier in the lesson to the sunflower petals.

For a recall exercise, you can ask pupils to try and remember the different graphemes they came up with for their vowel sounds without looking at their lists. How many can they remember?

Get the children to write one alternative grapheme for their recorded vowel sound at the tip of each petal.

Finally, once the sunflowers have been populated with their alternative graphemes, ask children – either individually or in groups of vowel sounds – to think of as many words as they can that contain each alternative grapheme.

For example, pupils who have been working with i  (igh) , could write out  sigh, sight, light  and  night  on their ‘igh’ petal, and  cry, why, try, my  and  by  on their ‘y’ petal, etc.

After a few minutes, get the groups to rotate and swap sounds, adding any new words they can think of to the other sunflowers.

Tap the sound, say the sound

Pop a flashcard featuring a particular sound on your classroom door that children have to say whenever they enter or exit the room.

Use new sounds, previously taught sounds or a sound the majority of pupils haven’t nailed, such as ‘igh’.

No preparation, no resource making, no marking – just a simple, low-stakes but incredibly effective way of reviewing previously taught sounds.  

As children walk past, say ‘Tap the sound, say the sound’. This activity helps behaviour while your children are lining up. They are more focused on what sound they are going to be tapping and reading than making any poor behavioural choices. 

Daily review strengthens neural connections over time. These are necessary for developing expertise, supporting retention in short-term and long-term memories.

For assessment purposes, this activity helps you identify which children may need a little extra support and/or intervention around a particular sound.

Ideas for EYFS

1. Buzzy bees

Make a list of sounds that link with an animal, vehicle or action when repeated. For example:

• zzz-zzz  for buzzy bees
• sh-sh-sh  for soothing a baby
• sss-sss  for a hissing snake
• d-d-d  for hammering
• u-u-u for tugging a heavy trolley
• a-a-a  for ticking someone off
• rrr-rrr  for a roaring motorbike
• ch-ch-ch  for a chugging train
• ee-ee-ee  for a mouse

Practise the sounds and explore ways of role playing the action, animal or vehicle. Encourage children to come up with their own ideas for actions. Can they think of any other scenarios to link with a particular sound?

2. Jolly jumps

Make up a selection of alliterative phrases that include a simple action. For example, “do a jolly jump”, “run round the rug”, “hop happily”, “sip steaming soup”.

Identify the alliterative initial sound (‘j’, ‘r’, ‘h’, ‘s’) and emphasise the sound as you say the phrase. Encourage children to repeat the phrase before carrying out the action.

Introduce alliterative phrases that include names of children in the group – “tickle Tara”, “hug Harry”, “tap Tomas” (first asking their permission!). Where necessary, choose action words that children can carry out themselves – “grumbling Gregor”, “rolling Rashid”, “stamping Stevie”.

3. The sound box

Fill an attractive lidded box with interesting items and pictures covering the sounds you wish to explore. Some possibilities include items with the same initial sound, a selection of items for sorting into separate sounds and picture cards for matching sounds (‘chair/cheese’).

Talk about the items, name them and identify their initial sounds before using them for ‘I Spy’, pairing and sorting activities.

With older children who are adept at identifying initial sounds, use carefully chosen items to introduce end sounds; for example, ‘pig’ ends with a ‘g’ sound. You can also add letter cards for children to match with the sounds.

4. Sandpit sounds

Bury a collection of items in the sandbox and challenge children to dig them up. Encourage children to explore the items, and during conversation identify each item’s initial sound.

Theme the items to fit in with a specific topic, or make a random collection. You can also focus on particular sounds and ask children to help you sort the items into sound groups.

Encourage older children to identify the sounds for themselves and find their own items to bury. Remember to identify the initial  sound  rather than letter – for example, ‘ship’ begins with the sound ‘sh’ rather than the letter ‘s’.

5. Tongue tasters

Gather a selection of foods beginning with sounds you want to explore. Name the foods and say, “I taste with my little tongue, something beginning with…”

Let the children taste the chosen food, and encourage them to repeat its name, emphasising the initial sound. Always check first for allergies , and never force an unwilling child to taste a food.

As the children become more able to identify initial sounds, follow the traditional ‘I spy’ format by increasing the number of foods to choose from.

6. Sound hunts

Hide items from the sound box in the setting and ask children to hunt for an item beginning with a given sound. Give them a clue by telling them which area to look in, for example, the cloakroom.

Once they have started to link sounds and letters, give them a letter card as a prompt. As they bring back items they have found, help them to put the items into sound pairs or sort into sound groups.

If necessary, ask other adults in the setting to accompany children and help them remember the sound they are hunting for.

Noisy letter jump phonics game

You’ll probably have kids hooked on this idea at the word ‘noisy’, but ‘jump’ and ‘game’ will also do its popularity no harm.

It’s extremely simple to create, requiring just some playground chalk and the ground, yet it’s a great way to consolidate phoneme-grapheme correspondence in an active way.

It’s also a great assessment tool to quickly see which letters children are less secure on. Read the full instructions for this noisy letter jump phonics game .

Boggle bulletin board

This fun Boggle board involves printable letters that can be changed however often you like, and comes with a worksheet each time for students to find as many words as they can. It’s an ingenious idea that can be used year-round for a quick and easy activity.

Dig and plant word-sorting game

This sorting game uses a tub of dyed rice (or whatever mud substitute you prefer) in which you can hide a set of word cards. These can be tailored to whatever sounds you’re currently working on, or adapted to the needs of each child.

So you might sort upper- and lower-case letters, or words beginning or ending with particular letters or sounds.

The idea of the game is to go digging, pull up a word, and plant it in the right plant pot. It’s a fun, hands-on activity that lets your child enjoy some spelling practice.

Water balloons

This phonics activity involves taping letters on index cards against a wall or fence, then filling some water balloons which have word endings written on them.

The children then pick a water balloon and hold it up against one of the index cards to see if the letter and word ending match to make a word.

If it does, they have to read the word out loud, and then they get to throw the balloon at the letter to pop it.

Practical phonics activities

This matching initial sounds activity involves placing an object (or picture) into the correct spot according to its initial sound. Easy to set up, fun to do. It’s a win-win.

Teach Your Monster to Read

This award-winning game makes learning to read fun, and is aimed at children in the first stages of learning to read, or for older children who need a bit more practice.

It covers everything from letters and sounds to reading full sentences and complements all synthetic phonics programmes used in schools.

Phonics Bloom

Phonics Bloom has a selection of phonics games organised by Phase. Some require a subscription, but many are free to play without even needing to sign up.

Dragon’s Den

These two dragons have got their eggs mixed up. Drag each egg to the right dragon – green if it’s a real word or red if it’s a made-up word. Choose from Phases 2-5 and select specific sets to work on before you begin.

Help a hedgehog

In this quick-fire decoding and blending game you can either enter your own words or use a pre-made set. Sit children in a circle and call one child out at a time to read the next word. Can you beat last lesson’s score in just 90 seconds?

Each child in England takes phonics screening test in Year 1. The test helps teachers identify how the child is progressing in phonics and where they need more improvement. This test checks if the children can sound and blend graphemes and diagraphs along with decoding of one-syllable and two-syllable words.

The Phonics Screening test consists of real words and pseudo/alien words.  The pseudo-words are specially included in the test to check children phonics knowledge as sometimes children do memorize the real words.

Kind Regards, The Mum Educates

Hi. Why do the kids have to be able to read alien words? Will it not confuse kids especially if we are teaching some words don’t sound phonetically like tricky words/sight words?

Hi Nas, It’s a very good question 🙂 The government claims that phonics check allows teachers to identify children struggling at an early age so they can receive the extra help and support they need, but many teachers believe that it is not making any difference what so ever. Alien words help to understand student ability to decode words, also it takes the guess work out. Other than that, I would say don’t let the teaching of nonsense words outweigh the teaching of real words and authentic experiences with language. There are plenty of kids who have learned to read without being taught nonsense words. Thanks 🙂

hqut? Non-words should follow the rules that govern the language. Hqut doesn’t fit into this.

Thanks so much, Lizzie for your message. I have now updated the test.

do you have any nursery worksheets?

Hi Shameen. Thanks for contacting. We don’t have any nursery worksheets as of now. Please check Reception category as it has some worksheet that may help you. Have a look here: https://themumeducates.com/category/reception/ Thanks

Little Wandle

We are now using Little Wandle, Letters and Sounds Revised in our school.  

Below you can find our Phonics and Early Reading policy.

You can also find our progression document, which shows the order of the letters and sounds, and the terms that they are taught in.

Please find below additional information regarding our new phonics and reading scheme - Little Wandle - Letters and Sounds revised

Why learning to read is so important

• Reading is essential for all subject areas and improves life chances.
• Positive attitudes to reading and choosing to read have academic, social and emotional benefits for children.

How children learn to read

• Phonics is the only route to decoding.
• Learning to say the phonics sounds.
• By blending phonic sounds to read words.
• Increasing the child's fluency in reading sounds, words and books.

Reading fully decodable books

• Children must read books consistent with their phonic knowledge.
• It is essential not to use other strategies to work out words (including guessing words, deducing meaning from pictures, context clues ot whole word recognition).
• Books must be fully decodable and follow the Little Wandle scheme.
• Children need to read books in a progressive sequence until they can decode unfamiliar words confidently.

The role of Parents and Carers

• Have a positive impact on their child's reading.
• Should model the importance if reading practice to develop fluency.
• Reading at home encourages a love of books, along with developing vocabulary and discussion. Children will bring home two different types of books: reading practice (100%decodable) and a book to share for pleasure.
• Give positive yet informative feedback in the reading diary.

Supporting your child with reading

Although your child will be taught to read at school, you can have a huge impact on their reading journey by continuing to practise at home.

There are two types of book that your child may bring home: 

A reading practice book . This will be at the correct phonic stage for your child, and they should be able to read this book mostly independently.

A sharing book.  Your child may not be able to read this on their own.  This book is for you to read and enjoy together.

Reading practice book

This book has been matched to your child's current reading level.  If your child is reading it with little help, please don't worry that it is too easy - your child needs ti develop fluency and confidence in reading.

Listen to them read the book.  Remember to give them lots of praise - celebrate their success!  If they can't read a word, read it to them.  After they have finished, talk about the book together.

Sharing book

In order to encourage your child to become a lifelong reader, it is important that they learn to read for pleasure.  The sharing book is a book they have chosen for you to enjoy together.

Please remember that you shouldn't expect your child to read this alone.  Read it to or with them.  Discuss the pictures, enjoy the story, predict what might happen next, use different voices for the character, explore the facts in a non-fiction book.  The main thing is that you have fun!

What is the Y1 Phonics Screening Check?

The Phonics Screening Check is meant to show how well your child can use the phonics skills they’ve learned up to the end of Year 1, and to identify students who need extra phonics help. The Department for Education defines the checks as “short, light-touch assessments” that take about four to nine minutes to complete.

How do children complete the Phonics Screening Check?

The checks consist of 40 words and non-words that your child will be asked to read one-on-one with a teacher. Non-words (or nonsense words, or pseudo words) are a collection of letters that will follow phonics rules your child has been taught, but don’t mean anything – your child will need to read these with the correct sounds to show that they understand the phonics rules behind them. 

The 40 words and non-words are divided into two sections – one with simple word structures of three or four letters, and one with more complex word structures of five or six letters. The teacher administering the check with your child will give them a few practice words to read first – including some non-words – so they understand more about what they have to do. Each of the non-words is presented with a picture of a monster / alien, as if the word were their name (and so your child doesn't think the word is a mistake because it doesn't make sense!). You can download the Department for Education's official Year 1 Phonics screening check past paper from 2012 ,  2013 ,  2014 ,  2015 ,  2016 ,  2017 ,  2018 ,  2019 ,  2022  and 2023 to get an idea of what your child will be asked to do.

When does the Y1 Phonics screening check take place in 2024?

Schools will administer the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check the week beginning 10 June 2024.

Does my child have to take it?

Yes – all students in Year 1 in England must take the Screening Check.

What will my child’s score mean?

Your child will be scored against a national standard, and the main result will be whether or not they fall below, within or above this standard. In 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 the "pass threshold" was 32, which means children had to read at least 32 words out of 40 correctly. The threshold mark is communicated to schools at the end of June, after the test has been taken, so that teachers can mark the Check. You will be told how your child did, but schools’ results will not be published. If your child’s score falls below the standard, they will be given extra phonics help and can re-take the Phonics Screening Check in Year 2.

Phonics Check (Year 1 and Year 2)

Phonics check and past materials from 2000 onwards – all free to download..

What is the Year 1 Phonics Check?

The Phonics Check occurs in June every year for all Year 1 children. Children read 40 real and pseudo (made up) words to test their phonics decoding ability. The pass mark is usually 32 and results should be reported to parents. If a pupil does not meet this ‘expected standard’, they are tested again in Year 2. 

Children who struggle to take the Phonics Check

Some children may not be able to access the tests due to profound needs. A school should inform you if your child will not be taking the check. 

Reporting Phonics Check Results to Parents

Schools should report the results to parents with the score or the reason they were unable to take the check. 

How are the results used?

The results of the tests are used in two main ways:

• The results are used to inform future teaching. If the child did not meet the expected standard, they are expected to receive further support in order to achieve it, including beyond Year 2. 
• The government compares the outcomes for pupils against other schools . These are commonly known as League Tables. This gives an indication of which schools perform the best. The League Tables are very controversial as schools vary in terms of their children’s needs. Some schools may have a high proportion of Special Needs, or have high levels of deprivation. Some schools may have an advantage as they benefit from having low number of Special Needs children, or have many families who can afford tutors and dedicate more time to their children’s learning. 

Other Statutory Assessments

As well as the KS1 and KS2 Tests at the end of Year 2 and Year 6 there are a number of other Statutory Assessments in Primary Schools. Statutory means that schools have to do them. 

Reception Baseline Assessment

This is new from 2021. A pupil is expected to take a short assessment within the first 6 weeks of them entering Reception. This is a short assessment on speaking & listening, early reading and mathematics. The results are not reported to parents and there is no pass mark. The results will be used by the government to measure progress of pupils from their entry into Reception to when they leave Year 6. This means that the KS1 SATs tests will be phased out soon. 

Multiplication Check

2022 is due to be the first year that this is statutory due to delays caused by Covid-19. It happens towards the end of Year 4. Children use a computer to answer a range of multiplication questions up to 12×12 and have 6 seconds to answer each question. 

Other Year Groups

Schools can choose whether they do tests in other year groups. There is no requirement to do so and no requirement to report test results to parents. However schools do have to write a report for each child annually. For the previous National Curriculum (pre 2014), the government did produce Year 3 to 5 Tests and KS3 Tests tests. 

When are Phonics Check Materials Published?

These are normally published publicly later in June of the year in which they taken.
