Great job, everyone! We clapped our syllables and had lots of fun!

  1. What was your favorite clapping move, and why did you like it the most? Can you think of a new clapping move we could try?
  2. Can you find some objects or animals around you and clap out their syllables? How many claps do you think they have?
  3. Why do you think clapping syllables helps us learn about words? Can you think of other fun ways to learn about words and sounds?
  1. Syllable Scavenger Hunt: Go on a syllable scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects and say their names out loud. Clap the syllables for each object you find. Can you find something with one syllable, two syllables, and three syllables? Share your discoveries with a friend or family member!

  2. Create a Syllable Song: Choose your favorite song and change the words to include the syllable clapping game. For example, sing about your favorite animals or foods, and clap the syllables as you sing. Encourage your friends to join in and create a fun syllable song together!

  3. Syllable Dance Party: Play some music and have a dance party where you clap the syllables of different words as you dance. You can take turns choosing words and leading the clapping. Try to think of new words and see how many syllables you can clap to the beat!
