About this resource
What's inside this resource
This letter T beginning sound game is an interactive way for students to work on words that begin with the letter T. This alphabet game provides students with a fun and engaging way to practice on the initial sound of the letter T. This game focuses on the most common sound of the initial /t/ sound.
What is Included:
One gameboard in color
One gameboard in black and white
What do you need to play:
One of the gameboards
A die
Something to mark the inner spaces with
A player piece to move around the edge of the board
This game can be a single player game or a two player game. To play, each student will need one gameboard, one die, 20 objects to mark the inner part of the game board, and a game piece for each student playing. First, a student will roll the die and move his game piece around the outside of the gameboard. The student will then cover the corresponding picture in the middle of the gameboard. The winner or end of game can be determined by one of the following rules below, depending on if the student is playing alone or with a partner.
This can be a single player game using the following rules:
The player tries to get 4 pictures covered in a row to win
The player tries to cover all the spaces in a set time limit
This can be a two player game by using the following rules:
Who can cover the most spaces in a specific time limit
Who can cover half (10 spaces) of the board first

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students will recognize pictures representing the letter T's beginning sound as they play the board game.
Students will follow a sequence of game directions — roll, move, cover — to complete a round.
Students will continue play until every picture space on the board is covered.
Teaching tips
Since the set includes both a color and a black-and-white board with identical mechanics, use the black-and-white version if photocopying or lamination budget is limited.
The "Roll Again" spaces mean a round's length varies, so build in a little flexible time rather than expecting every game to finish in the same number of turns.
The printed win condition is covering every picture on the board, so decide before play whether that will be a race or a shared group goal, and explain it to students up front.
Skills covered
Beginning-sound recognition — students identify pictures matching the letter T's beginning sound to cover them on the board.
Game-direction following — students carry out a printed sequence (roll, move, cover) each turn.
Persistence to a goal — students continue rolling and covering until every picture on the board is filled.
