Naming Syllables

As a part of our Scott Foresman reading program, we are learning how to clap out the syllables in our name. This takes practice but clapping out their names makes it fun. Look at those faces! I love all the ideas I am finding on http://larremoreteachertips.blogspot.com/.

She shared a link of a friend who even made a class book with each child's photo, their name and the number of syllables it takes to clap out each name. Cute!

They had fun playing this as a game in small groups. I think I will make a Go-To Activity using laminated pictures of the clapping hands and picture cards for the children to clap out the number of syllables in the picture. I would have to have the word with the correct syllables (clapping hands) on the back of the card for the children to self-check. I will post photos of this when it becomes a reality and not just an idea I had one afternoon! I'll post an example soon-blogger isn't cooperating with me...
