Winter Theme Worksheet

Teaching Ideas

Begin by introducing the names of each winter picture so children clearly hear the starting sound. Encourage kids to say each word slowly (e.g., hat… /h/ /h/ hat) and emphasize the beginning sound. Guide them to point to the matching letters and choose the correct one before circling it.

This activity pairs well with winter literacy centers, small-group instruction, or phonics warm-ups. To extend learning, children can color the pictures afterward to build fine-motor strength and confidence.
