The document describes a syllable game to help students segment words into syllables. Students take turns drawing word cards, saying the word and segmenting it into syllables. They count the syllables and check the number on the back of the card. If correct, they advance their game piece the number of spaces. The goal is to reach the end of the game board.

AP. 008 Syllable Patterns


Syllable Game
Objective
The student will segment syllables in words.

Materials
▶ Syllable game board
▶ Word cards
Write the number of syllables on the back of the word cards. Optional: Provide students
with a dictionary that shows syllable breaks.
▶ Game pieces (e.g., counters)

Activity
Students count syllables in words by playing a game.
1. Place game board on a flat surface and word cards face up in a stack.
2. Students place game pieces at START on the game board.
3. Taking turns, students pick the top card and read the word (e.g., carbohydrate).
4. Say the word again segmenting it by syllables (i.e., car-bo-hy-drate). Count and state the
number of syllables (i.e., four syllables).
5. Check the back of the card for the number of syllables. If correct, move game piece to the
next space with the corresponding number. If incorrect, leave game piece where it is and next
student takes turn. Word card is placed at the bottom of the stack.
6. Continue until all students reach the END of the game board.
7. Peer evaluation

“Carbohydrate, car-bo-hy-drate.
That’sfour syllables.”
