6 Free Ending Sounds Activities for Small Groups - KindergartenWorks - Free Printable

This worksheet is titled "Ending Sound Stamps", and it's designed to help young learners (likely kindergarten or early elementary students) practice identifying the ending sound of words by matching pictures to their corresponding ending phonemes.

🔍 What is the task?

The goal is to look at each picture, determine the ending sound of the word it represents, and then stamp or write the correct letter that corresponds to that ending sound in the blank box next to the picture.

Some boxes already have letters filled in with a marker (e.g., "G", "P", "X", "T"), indicating that someone has already worked on this. The black marker on the page suggests it was used for marking answers.

🧩 How to Solve It

Let’s go through the images row by row and identify the ending sound of each word:

---

#### Row 1:
1. Safety pin → *pin* → ends with /n/ → N
2. Sun → *sun* → ends with /n/ → N
3. Log → *log* → ends with /g/ → G ✔ (already marked)
4. Spider web → *web* → ends with /b/ → B

> Note: The spider web image is likely meant to represent “web,” not “spider.”

---

#### Row 2:
5. Bed → *bed* → ends with /d/ → D
(But currently has an "O" — possibly incorrect)
6. Bag → *bag* → ends with /g/ → G ✔ (already marked)
7. Pan → *pan* → ends with /n/ → N
8. Robot → *robot* → ends with /t/ → T

---

#### Row 3:
9. Box → *box* → ends with /x/ → X ✔ (already marked)
10. Cat → *cat* → ends with /t/ → T
(Currently has an "X" — incorrect)
11. Mug → *mug* → ends with /g/ → G ✔ (already marked)
12. Pig → *pig* → ends with /g/ → G

---

#### Row 4:
13. Cat → *cat* → ends with /t/ → T ✔ (already marked)
14. Boy → *boy* → ends with /y/ → Y
15. Sock → *sock* → ends with /k/ → K
16. Cookie → *cookie* → ends with /i/ → I (but often pronounced /k/, so could be K)

> Note: “Cookie” ends with a soft /k/ sound, so K is acceptable.

---

#### Row 5:
17. Lips → *lips* → ends with /s/ → S
18. Candy → *candy* → ends with /y/ → Y
19. Pen → *pen* → ends with /n/ → N
20. Spoon → *spoon* → ends with /n/ → N

> But the last one has P written — incorrect. Should be N.

✔ Corrected Answers:

| Picture | Word | Ending Sound | Letter |
|--------|------|--------------|--------|
| Safety pin | pin | /n/ | N |
| Sun | sun | /n/ | N |
| Log | log | /g/ | G ✔ |
| Spider web | web | /b/ | B |
| Bed | bed | /d/ | D |
| Bag | bag | /g/ | G ✔ |
| Pan | pan | /n/ | N |
| Robot | robot | /t/ | T |
| Box | box | /x/ | X ✔ |
| Cat | cat | /t/ | T |
| Mug | mug | /g/ | G ✔ |
| Pig | pig | /g/ | G |
| Cat | cat | /t/ | T ✔ |
| Boy | boy | /y/ | Y |

✘ Errors in Current Worksheet:

- Row 2, Column 1: “Bed” → marked as “O” → should be D
- Row 3, Column 2: “Cat” → marked as “X” → should be T
- Row 5, Column 4: “Spoon” → marked as “P” → should be N

---

✔ Final Answer:

The student should fill in the blanks with the correct ending sound letters as follows:
- Web → B
- Bed → D
- Pan → N
- Robot → T
- Boy → Y
- Sock → K
- Cookie → K
- Lips → S
- Candy → Y
- Pen → N
- Spoon → N

And fix the incorrect ones:
- Change “O” → D (bed)
- Change “X” → T (cat)
- Change “P” → N (spoon)

💡 Teaching Tip:

This activity reinforces phonemic awareness, specifically ending sounds, which is crucial for early reading development. Using stamps or markers makes it engaging and hands-on.
