1. Introducing ph words for kids
You can start by introducing that we are going to learn more about consonant blends today and a new grapheme. In today’s lesson, we will discuss 2 consonants i.e. p and h when come together to make a single sound known as a consonant digraph /ph/.
You can even recall the digraph we have done before to brush up:
2. ph Words With Pictures
In the next step. Try to bring up the picture cards. That works very well with kids of all ages. Especially small children love visual learning.
You can simply start by showing the picture cards to the children one by one. And let them guess the name of the things or objects shown on the picture card.
Such as you can begin with the Dolphin picture and let them guess. If they need clues you can give clues such as which we sit on it while we study and so on.
3. ph Words That Sound Like f
Now let us learn about what sound does ph digraph makes? The grapheme ph makes the sound f. It is as simple as that.
It is a simple sound similar to ‘f’ and ‘ff’.To make practice the /f/ sound, put the top teeth onto the bottom lip of the mouth and blow out some air.
Now let them know when you blend these two letters together it gives us a brand new sound i.e. /f/.In this way, you can start practicing ph words phonics. You can repeat this phase in different voices with ph examples such as:
- phone
- physics
- pharmacy
- dolphin
- elephant
4. ph Tongue Twister Game
First, rules should be explained by the teacher to all children. And then give the tongue twister to all kids in the class
I’m not a pheasant plucker, I’m the pheasant plucker’s son,
And I’m only plucking pheasants until the pheasant pluckers come.
Let the kids listen to the tongue twister clearly. Children love tongue twister and here learning happens in a fun way with the ph tongue twister game.
Let all the children get the turn one by one. The child said it correctly without stopping wins the game of pheasant plucker.
5. Tell The Name With ph Sound Game
In this game, all children have to participate. You have to first explain the game to the children. The child who says the name with ph sound first is the winner of the game.
This is a quick and easy game that requires no prior planning and even no material preparation. Some of the examples of names are as follow:
- Christopher
- Stephen
- Phillip
6. ph Words For Kindergarten

- For gifted ones, you can let them write the words starting with ph and ending with ph.
- For support let them say aloud the words with ph.
7. ph Words List
Let us have a look at the ph digraphs and the words list and say aloud and let the children repeat all over again in chorus.
8. Phil Is On The Phone Story
Reading aloud a story with ph digraph words is a marvelous idea. You can read the story of Phil is on the Phone all over again and let them know it is around the grapheme we are learning today.
I love to read Phil is on the Phone story with my little ones in the class.
After reading you can ask them which grapheme they can listen to most often in the story. Let the children learn about the words containing ph is coming in the story.
9. ph Words For First Grade – 1 Minute Game
