Our Snowflake Matching Beginning Sounds activity helps children develop their fine motor skills, independence,

attention-span, self-confidence, problem solving skills, and literacy. It corresponds to Common Core Standards

RF.K.2.D and RF.K.3.A as children use letter-sound knowledge, and identify initial sounds.

Prep:Step 1: Print pages 3-11 in color and laminate with 5 mil laminating pouches or print on cardstock and use as is.

Step 2: Cut out the snowflakes. We recommend storing the pieces in a baggie.

Step 3: Enjoy!

Directions:Step 1: Place all of the snowflakes face up on a table

Step 2: Pick one snowflake up and say the name of the picture on it. Listen closely to the beginning / initial sound.

Step 3: Find the snowflake that has a picture on it that starts with the same letter as the snowflake you’re holding

(i.e. book-bird) and place the pair together on the table. You could even clip the matching pairs together with a

clothespin.

Step 4: Continue steps 2 and 3 until you have matched all of the snowflakes together. The answer sheet is on page

12 of this packet.

Variations:1. For added practice, count how many pairs of snowflakes you were able to match.

2. You could even place the matching pairs in alphabetical order for an added challenge.
