Phonics Sound Game: Letter Sounds G to L
This free phonics game for kids carries on from A to F and focuses on the letter sounds G, H, I, J, K, L, M and N. Your child hears a clear sound, such as guh as in goat or luh as in leaf, and taps the matching letter on the screen.
Each round shows a small set of letters, so little learners can listen carefully and choose without feeling rushed. It is a gentle, playful way for preschool and early primary children to link sounds with letters, which is the first big step towards reading words on their own.
How to play
- Tap the sound button and listen carefully to the letter sound.
- Look at the letters on the screen and tap the one that makes that sound.
- If the answer is not right, listen once more and try again.
- Say the sound out loud together and think of a word that starts with it.
Playing this activity helps your child build phoneme awareness, the ability to hear a single sound and match it to a written letter. Children practise the sounds of G, H, I, J, K, L, M and N, strengthen listening skills, and learn to recognise lower and upper case letter shapes quickly. These skills support blending sounds into simple words such as jug, kit and nest. Short, regular turns of five to ten minutes work best. Sit nearby, repeat each sound together, and clap for good tries. You can extend the learning by spotting things at home that begin with the same sound.
