Five phonemic awareness games for the moments you’re already having.

In the car, on a walk, at the dinner table. No prep, no materials, nothing that needs to look like a lesson.

Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear and play with the individual sounds inside words, and it’s one of the strongest predictors of future reading success. These five games make that easy to practise, in the moments that are already there.

What’s inside the guide

Five games, zero setup.

  • Body part sounds

    A movement game that helps children segment words into individual sounds by pairing each sound with a tap on their head, shoulders, or knees.

  • Stretch and Snap

    A blending and segmenting game that pulls a word apart slowly, sound by sound, then snaps it back together in one satisfying clap.

  • Sound chains

    A sound-substitution game that swaps one sound at a time and watches a familiar word turn into something brand new.

  • Pairs in my pocket

    A listening game that sharpens a child’s ear for the one sound that makes two similar words different.

  • Beginning, middle, end

    A game that helps children find exactly where a sound sits inside a word, then plays with swapping and removing it altogether.
