Operation Syllables!

It is time to learn and practice with syllables.

Playdough Stretching and Breaking- 

• You are going to say the word while stretching the playdough and then say the word while breaking the playdough. An example would be "table"- say it like taaaaaable while stretching the playdough and then say ta-ble while breaking it to see that it is a 2 syllable word.
• Practice with these words:
  • Fish
  • Crayon
  • Cat
  • Robot
  • Gorilla
  • Computer
  • Cup
  • Snowman
  • Butter
  • Hat
  • Umbrella
  • Bike
  • Banana
  • Grandma
  • Mouse

Scavenger hunt- 

Sing "I'm going on a syllable hunt I am not afraid, got my trusty camera and hot coco by my side... Oh look there is a..."

• See if you can spot 1, 2, and 3 syllable words as you go on your syllable hunt. 

Syllable Card Game Battle- 

• You need a sibling or an adult to play with
• Start by taking out the aces, twos and threes (we need these ones).
• You will take the aces, twos and threes and mix them up.
• Put them face down and draw a card.
• If you drew an Ace- Go find something that has one syllable in your house and run back to the meeting spot.
• If you drew a Two- Go find something that has two syllables in your house and run back to the meeting spot.
• If you drew a Three- Go find something that has three syllable in your house and run back to the meeting spot.
• Do this for at least 5 rounds. The person that comes back first with an item with the correct syllables wins the card!!!

Story Time- 

• Go on Tumble Books (which you already signed up for in a previous lesson from the Lethbridge Public Library) and read a story. After you have listened to 2 pages stop and find a one syllable word, a two syllable word and a 3 syllable word. 
• Listen to the next 2 pages and repeat until the story is over. 

You will be syllable experts by the end of all of these- great work!
