Games on ZZ Words for Kids

Buzz, Fuzz, Frizz - ZZ Words Games for Kids

So many fun words in the English language contain the digraph 'ZZ! From smaller words like buzz, fuzz, and frizz to longer and more complex words like pizza, whizz, and dizzy - they all have the ZZ consonant pair.

ZZ is a commonly used digraph in the English language. Digraphs are consonant pairs that make a unified sound when pronounced, as opposed to consonant pairs like PR, TR, SL, where each consonant retains its individual sound. When pronouncing ZZ, the letters combine to form a single sound by touching the tongue on the top base of the inner mouth.

ZZ sounds similar to 'ss' and 'ff,' so kids need to practice and be wary of confusing the letters. ZZ is pronounced with a little vibration on the tongue. This vibration does not appear on pronouncing ss or ff digraphs.

Help kids write down ZZ, visually identify the letters, recognize its sound and speak it out loud to get the hang of the letters. As you progress, start joining ZZ with vowels and consonants and encourage kids to be creative and form words.
