Learning the letter sound M doesn’t have to be stacks of worksheets or drilling flashcards.

This playful I Spy board game makes phonics practice feel like a game kids actually want to play.

They’ll practice beginning M, middle M, and ending M sounds while racing to spot pictures, growing their vocabulary, and strengthening visual discrimination.

Instead of groans, you’ll hear laughter and shouts of “mouse!” or “moon!” as your students work on articulation goals without even realizing it.

What’s Included in the I Spy Letter Sound M Game

10 game boards filled with colorful, engaging pictures for the letter sound M
40 image cards featuring words like map, muffin, magnet, movie, moon, money, and mermaid
Star tokens for tracking wins (or swap in your favorite mini erasers if you like)
Clear instructions that are easy to follow
Simple prep: print, laminate, cut, and play

Why Kids and Teachers Love the Letter Sound M Game

Phonics practice without the boredom: Students get repeated exposure to the M sound in different word positions through fast-paced play
Vocabulary building: Each image gives kids opportunities to name, describe, and use new words
Visual discrimination and focus: I Spy boards are busy on purpose so learners practice scanning and attention to detail
Confidence boosting: Repetition helps students become more independent and fluent with the letter sound M

Primary Academic Skills

Flexible Play Options: Choose from competitive play, cooperative group work, or independent practice so every learner can be successful.

Just what I needed!

I love the "Flip" activities. They're always colorful and engaging. These activities reinforce childrens use of language, labeling, identifying of vocabulary associated with specific themes. My students in the past have loved the Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall flip, so when I wanted to update my beginning of the school year activities I happened to find the September themed one and knew I had to purchase it. I laminate my mats and have the kids cover the images with colored small or large game chips, vase jewels or playdough. If the images on the mats are too busyi make sure to uave extra copies for the kids to engage in matching the images. The kids love it!

We LOVE it

Great game. My students love it and my kids at home. Lots of fun times playing this game. I love the variety in boards. My suggestion for customers is to print it on cardstock so you can't see through the cards.
