Matching games are simple, low-prep, and interactive ways to introduce Hangul!

For kids who are learning the Korean alphabet for the first time, focus on reinforcing a few at a time while your child builds confidence.

To encourage letter recognition each of the Hangul letters and color them in solid black for more visual input.

Korean Hangul Alphabet Letter Magnets - fun way to play and learn

Spelling with magnetic Korean Hangul alphabet toys

For kids who are read to blend phonics and create simple words, the Korean alphabet magnets are fun to use on the fridge!

If they are younger, they still might enjoy just sticking them on and off the magnetic surfaces like my son! 🙂

Tic-Tac-Toe with Korean alphabet toys

Last but not least, tic-tac-toe was one of my daughter’s favorite games when she was younger, and we incorporated Korean alphabet review with it!

In the above photo, we played yellow letters versus blue letters and created the game board with painter’s tape on a magnetic white board!

Where to buy Hangul Korean alphabet letter magnets for kids

Amazon carries the following Hangul letter toys:

  • Soft Rubber Hangul magnets – similar to our foam magnets from Korea shown in these photos
  • Plastic Hangul magnets – can spray paint to Montessori colors [red = consonants, blue = vowels]

The plastic Hangul magnets are popular due to the low cost. You can also spray paint them red and blue Montessori colors!

Warning: We were gifted a set by friends, but many magnets felt out. Also do not use magnets with toddlers age <3 years or those who are in the mouthing phase. Magnets can be an extremely dangerous hazard if ingested or aspirated!!
