Phase 2 sounds car park game

Help children recognise and recall the Phase 2 sounds with this engaging car park game. The boards include the full set of Phase 2 graphemes from the Letters and Sounds progression, such as s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, h, f, r, b, ff, l, ll and ss (all clearly shown across the two pages of the resource). Children read each sound and “park” their toy car in the correct space, building confidence through repeated quick-fire practice.

This Phase 2 phonics game is ideal for early reading sessions, phonics lessons, interventions or morning starters. The layout is bright and simple, helping children focus on each grapheme while enjoying a motivating, hands-on activity that requires minimal teacher preparation.

To use, provide toy cars and ask the children to say each sound before driving to the matching parking space. This repeated blending and recognition work supports early phonics development and builds secure grapheme knowledge.
