The Sound Games
Nine games for the sounds your child already knows. All free.
Children learn sounds through their ears long before letters mean anything on a page. So that's where we start, with games you can play in the car, at bath time, or waiting for dinner. No screens, no prep, nothing to buy. Just you, your voice, and whatever's already in the house.
Every kid is different. Some live for dinosaurs, some for dolls, some for being chased. It’s the same with these games. Try a few, at different times of day, and don’t force the ones that don’t land. One will stick. In our house it’s Sac-à-dos, the backpack game.
The games come in three levels: Just Play, Ear Games, Sound Games. These aren’t ages. Kids climb the ladder on their own clock, and they’ll slide up and down it day to day. Start at ● ○ ○ and follow the giggles.
Sac-à-dos the backpack game
She called me a backpack. I called her a cloud. A no-repeats word volley that never ends.
Feed the Animal
The toy only eats things that start with its sound. Mmm for the cow.
The Sound Bag
Four toys, four different sounds, hidden in a bag. Guess before the reveal.
Whose Name Starts With…?
Match the people they love to the sounds their names begin with.
Sound Hunt
Find three things in the house that start with the same sound.
