Fall Syllable Game

What You Need:

• Sheet of paper
• Marker
• Ruler

What You Do:

1. Using the marker and ruler, your child should divide the paper in half lengthwise.
2. Have your little one help you come up with a list of between 10 or 20 two syllable, fall-related words. Here are some from our list: autumn, pumpkin, scarecrow, cornstalk, harvest.
3. Using the marker, on the left side of the paper write a list of the first syllable of each word you chose. The left half of our paper looked like this:

Aut

Pump

Scare

Corn

Har

4. Then, still using the marker, on the right side of the paper write a mixed up list of the other syllables followed by a blank line. The right half of our paper looked like this:

   kin ____

   stalk ____

   umn ____

   vest ____

   crow ____
5. To begin, your child must figure out which syllables can be arranged to form a full word. Then, they should draw a line between them.
6. Finally, have your child write each complete word out on the blank spaces in the right-hand column.
