Doing Popcorn Initial Sound Match-Up

Whether you are using this for a Five Senses unit or on it's own, your students are sure to LOVE this popcorn initial sound match-ups!

Students will start the activity by choosing a bucket with a letter on it . My daughter chose the popcorn bucket with the letter “Tt”.

Students will then sort through all of the popped popcorn with pictures looking for the ones that start with the letter “Tt”.

Each popcorn bucket has six pieces of popped popcorn with a visual. Once the popcorn bucket has has six pieces of popped popcorn representing the corresponding letter, they can move on to a new letter and start again.

Your students are going to LOVE using this popcorn initial sound match up in your early literacy centers!

Another way this could be completed, is to have all of the popcorn buckets laid out on a table or even the floor. Students will then sort through all of the popped popcorn pieces and place each one at the correct popcorn bucket.

This popcorn initial sound match-ups is the PERFECT addition to your early literacy center. Your students are going to love it!

If you have younger (or struggling) students that would be overwhelmed by the amount of puzzle pieces in this activity, scale it back. Provide them with only a few of the letters. Once they master those, you can slowly add in more.
