Learning Objectives
Students will demonstrate understanding of syllables as units of sound that can be counted.
Introduction
(10 minutes)- Gather students in a circle.
- Introduce the Syllable Game, where students learn to clap out the syllables in their names.
- Announce each student’s name with a clap and count for each syllable. For example: Jo (clap) seph (clap), two syllables. Explain that each clap counts out a sound that is called a syllable.
- Model the game with your own name and clap for each syllable. Ask students to echo the number of syllables.
- Have each student announce their own name with claps.
- The choral response of the group after each name announcement should be to say the number of syllables.
