Letter G Activities
Visit a Garden
Create a simple outdoor activity by exploring a garden. Grab some gardening gloves and explore what’s growing, making note of the things that start with the letter G, such as grass, green leaves, gravel paths, grasshoppers, grape vines, a gazebo or greenhouse, and more.
Go, Go, Go! Game
This game is similar to Red Light, Green Light, but focuses on words that start with the letter G. Have your child stand up and explain to them that every time you say a word that starts with G, they can go one step forward. When you say a word that starts with a different letter sound, they take one step backwards. If you’re playing with multiple children, turn the game into a race.
Glitter & Glue
Print out the letter G worksheets above and set aside the large letter Gs that are designed for children to color in. Instead of offering crayons or markers to your child, invite them to fill in the letter G with a thin layer of glue that gets covered in glitter–preferably green or gold!
Tips for Teaching Letter G Words
- The Two Sounds of Letter G
The letter G can make two sounds: a hard G sound, like in the word gold, or a soft G sound, like in the word giraffe. Help your child notice the difference in sound between the hard and soft G and how their mouth moves differently to make each sound. Our Hard and Soft Sounds of C and G worksheet can help with this.
- The Rules of Letter G
Older children may appreciate this tip for knowing when to make a hard or soft letter G sound: Typically, when the letter G is followed by the letters a, o, or u, it makes the hard G sound, as in gut, go, gas, gum, and game. When G is followed by i, y, or e, it usually makes the soft G sound, as in gem, ginger, giant, and gym.
- Use Multiple Teaching Approaches
Introducing a new letter sound in a variety of ways can help children better understand and get familiar with it. Combine our list of letter G words with the letter G song, worksheets, and activities to approach this new letter sound in many different ways.

Letter F Activities

Tips for Teaching Letter F Words
- Grab a Mirror
Saying F words in front of a mirror can help children see what their mouth should look like to pronounce the letter F. Show your child where to place their teeth on their lip to make the sound. Pronounce the sound in the mirror, pointing to where your teeth are resting on your lips. The mirror will give your child visual feedback to make sure their mouth position matches yours.
- Focus on the Sound
For young children, work on mastering the sound the letter F makes before spending too much time on the letter F words. Help your child practice making the “fffff” sound, then move on to the simpler words in the letter F list.
- Make Real World Connections
If you see a letter F while running errands or notice a word from the letter F list, point it out to your child. Connecting new letters and words to real objects can help grow their understanding.

Letter E Activities
Letter E Song:
Learning about the letter E is especially fun when it’s a song kids can listen, dance, and sing to.

These free printable letter E worksheets can help children learn to recognize the letter E, say its name and the sound it makes, and start learning how to write it, too.
Letter E Activities
Egg Hunt
Hide plastic eggs around the house or yard, each containing a small object or image that starts with the letter E, such as an eraser, elephant figurine, earring, and an image of Earth. As children pop open each egg, they can say the name of the object and emphasize the “e” sound.
Echo Game
Say a word from the list of letter E words. Have children repeat the word after you, emphasizing the “e” sound. Make it fun by varying the pitch, volume, and silliness of your voice, and encourage them to mimic you.

Incorporate physical activity into learning by doing exercises that start with the letter E. For example, touch your knees to your elbows, touch your ear to your shoulder, reach your fingers up and then down to your eyes; and conclude with elephant stomps (stomping around like an elephant). We encourage you to do each exercise eight times.
Tips for Teaching Letter E Words
- The Two Sounds of Letter E
The letter E makes two distinct sounds–one is the short letter E sound that sounds like eh, as in eggs. The other is a long letter E sound that sounds like eee as in eagle. Be sure to help your child hear the different E sounds when reading through the lists of words.
- Long and Short E Lists
To help underscore the two different sounds that the letter E makes, create a list with two columns. One column is for words with a short E sound and the other is for words with a long E sound. Read through the lists of letter E words, and divide the words between the two columns depending on the letter E sound they make.
