How To Use The Pumpkin Beginning Sounds Sort Activity:

For this beginning sounds activity, your children will pick a wagon. They will then identify the letter on it and say the sound that the letter makes.

Next, your kids will sort through the pumpkins to find the ones with pictures that begin with the sound that the letter on their wagon makes.

When they find a pumpkin, your young learners will put it “in” their wagon. They will continue sorting through the pumpkins until they have found all five.

If your children select the letter “S s” wagon, they will go through the pumpkins to look for the pictures of the sun, squirrel, sock, snake, and saw. As they find those pictures, your kids will put the pumpkins in their wagon.

If your children have just begun learning the letter sounds, start with just one or two wagons. As they learn, you can add more wagons and pumpkins each time they do this activity.
