Beginning Sounds with Body Parts — Letter L

Hunt the scene for the sound of L. This Kindergarten sheet shows a busy set of body parts, and the child marks the ones whose names start with L — leg and lip. The trick is to say each picture and listen to its very first sound: does leg begin the way L sounds? Matching that opening sound to its letter is foundational phonics, done entirely by ear.

To find what begins with L, a child must say each picture and isolate its first sound, then judge whether it matches L. That is the heart of early phonics — knowing the sound a letter makes and catching it at the front of words like leg. The varied a hand, a foot and an ear keep a wide set of opening sounds in play, so the work never narrows to one rehearsed answer; the child really has to listen.

Listening for L across a scene of body parts turns phonics into a game, and finishing one letter invites the next. Try the A-sound pictures in body parts, or the B-sound pictures in body parts. Browse all the beginning-sounds worksheets or the entire body parts set, free to print or play online for kindergarten, and watch how quickly a child starts catching the first sound in a word on their own.
