Colour by Sound Group 3 (Jolly Phonics)

Description

Fun Phonics Colouring Activities for Group 3

Phonics colouring activities make learning letter sounds fun, hands-on, and engaging. This Group 3 Colour by Sound set is designed for the Jolly Phonics programme and focuses on the sounds b, f, g, l, o, u. Children follow a sound-to-colour key while colouring, which helps them practise reading, build confidence, and enjoy phonics lessons.

Skills Children Build with These Phonics Colouring Activities

These worksheets support multiple aspects of early literacy:

• Letter recognition – match the Group 3 sounds (b, f, g, l, o, u) to letters in a playful way
• Phonemic awareness – hear and identify sounds accurately
• Fine motor skills – strengthen pencil control and hand coordination
• Concentration and independence – complete a task from start to finish

How to Use These Phonics Colouring Activities

These worksheets are flexible and easy to use in your classroom. You can:

• Use them in whole-class phonics lessons
• Run small group practice sessions
• Provide independent work or activities for early finishers
• Offer calm morning or afternoon tasks

Children simply:

1. Follow the sound-to-colour key
2. Match each Group 3 sound (b, f, g, l, o, u) to the correct colour
3. Colour the picture to reveal the design

Once finished, display their work, send it home to share with families, or cut out pieces to create puppets for storytelling.
