Clap it Out!

This is a fun little game you can play anywhere and it will help students to hear the syllables in longer words. First each person thinks of two syllable words and everyone claps while saying the syllables together. For example: sub ject, (clap, clap) con flict, man age, re spect. After doing that well - begin doing three syllable words. At lan tic, sub trac tion, col or ful. Then go on to four syllable words. rec com mend ing, re spon sib le, trust worth i ness. Then try to think of words that are longer. See who can think of the longest word to clap out. Su per in ten dant, mi cro scop ic, con grat u la tions.
