Kinesthetic/Syllables
Title: Walking Syllables
Idea: The teacher will read a word and the students will take one step per syllable. If they take too many steps they must go back to the starting line. Start out by saying just words and then move onto rhymes and songs that go at a little faster pace.

Title: Group Syllabling
Students will be divided into groups. Each group will be given a word. Each member of the group will be responsible for one syllable of the word. The group will go to the front of the classroom and say the word. Each student will be responsible for saying his/her syllable in the word.
For example: Pepperoni
Student one says: Pep
Student two says: per
Student three says: o
Student four says: ni

Title: Syllable Clap
Have a small number of words that are two syllables on one side of a piece of paper. On the other side have the syllables separated. For example: tugboat …… tug boat. Next have three syllable words like animal…an i mal. Continue on with this process until you get to five syllable words. Hand this piece of paper out to the students. Have them start with the two syllable words by clapping the word out on the left side of the paper as you read it. Then show them how it is divided into two parts on the right side of the paper. Do this with all of the words or until they have the concept down.

Title: Syllable Calling
Idea: Give each student a large card with one syllable of a word on it. Have the students stand up and find the rest of their word and then have the "word" sit together. Then have each "word" get up in front of the class and have each student say their syllable separately, and then the whole class says the syllable, and then the whole word together.

Title: Syllable Clapping
Idea: Write words on the board. Point at a word and have the students say it
outloud. Then have the students say the word again and clap according to the
number of syllables in each word.
Example: pony
Student will say the word pony and clap twice because pony (po/ny) has two
syllables.
Use smaller or bigger words depending on the students.

Title: Shoots, Ladders, and Syllables
Idea: The teacher will provide the class with a Shoots and Ladders game board or
create one similar on their own. The students will be broken up into groups
according to how many game pieces there are. The teacher will provide words for
the students with multi-syllables and place them in a hat. The weekly vocabulary
words could also be a great source for this game. Each team will take their turn
drawing words from the hat. They will announce after deliberation how many
syllables they believe their word has. If they are right they get to move as
many spaces on the board as there are syllables in their word. If they are wrong
they do not get to move. The first team to reach the finish wins.
