Counting Syllable Fish

GETTING READY

Materials Needed:  printable fish and fishbowls (download below), scissors, sticks or paper straws (optional)

1.  Print the fishbowls and fish included in the free download.
2.  Cut out the pieces and lay them on the work surface.
3.  Have a set of sticks or paper straws on hand.  A drum or clapping with your hands will work too.

LET’S PLAY

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.
