"t" & "p" Initial Sounds Games

This resource was made to help a group of children, most of whom were EAL (English as an Additional Language) students. The goal was for them to learn both the vocabulary and the initial sounds.

This collection includes the following resources:

Sorting flashcards with the letters “t” and "p"
The flashcards should be printed, laminated, and cut out. These can then be used to group words based on their initial sound.

Memory game with “t” and "p"
Print, laminate, and cut the cards. Place the card image down. Children take turns selecting two cards and attempting to match the pictures. When they find a matching pair, they keep them. The child with the most cards wins.

I Spy “t” and “p” word games
Print, then laminate. Place the cards face down in a pile. The children take turns picking a card without showing their friends the picture. They say, “I spy with my little eye something beginning with…” and they say “t” or “p” depending on the picture card they picked. The children take turns spotting a “t” or “p”; i.e., “I spy with my little eye something beginning with “t,” and the other children ask, “Is it a tiger?” " Is it a tomato?” and so on until they get the word that was on the picture card the previous child picked.

6 “t” and “p” Bingo Boards
Each child is given a bingo board. The flashcards are placed down, and the children take turns picking a card. If it matches a picture on their board, they place a counter on the picture on their board. The first person to cover all the pictures on their board shouts out “BINGO” and is the winner.

10 png files with pictures and words for each initial sound
These could be used electronically to create your own “t” and “p” Seesaw or Easel activity.
