Have the child select one fish and name the object pictured.  Then say, “Let’s tap (or drum or clap) the word parts.”

Together, clap the parts and count how many claps or taps were used for the word.  Then, find the correct fishbowl (1 syllable, 2 syllables, 3 syllables, or 4 syllables) to place the fish.  Complete for each fish until all of them have been placed.
