The Sound Hunt
A zero-prep treasure hunt: "I'm looking for something that starts with sss...". Scan the room together, make guesses, spot the soap, and stretch out the sound ("ssss-oap!"). Then let your child pick a sound while you do the hunting.

Step by step
- Pick a long, easy sound to start with (ssss, mmmm, ffff).
- "I'm looking around the room for something that starts with sss...".
- Scan the room, walk around, wonder out loud.
- Check the sound, not the letter: "ssss-oap... yes! We hear sss at the start!".
- Your child picks a sound and you search—make silly mistakes on purpose so they can happily correct you.
- Try trickier sounds, clap out syllables, or play with simple rhyming words.
