Phonics Hopscotch

Help to develop your child's ability to match letters to their sounds. All you need for this fun phonics activity is a piece of chalk and the ground. Simply draw a hopscotch template (how many squares and in what shape they are arranged is up to you but there is a picture to the right to help you). In each square draw a letter of the alphabet (see the chart below). There are many ways you can play this game – you can call out a letter or combination of letters and ask your child to jump on those letters, you can see if they can come up with a word that has that letter/sound concept in it! You can also roll dice and ask your child to jump to the square that matches the number rolled, counting the squares as they jump and sounding the letter out at the end.
