Super Segmenting - Syllables
This is a whole class oral segmenting game that can be used as a fun and simple warm up activity. Simply enter the words your class is focusing on and have students identify the number of syllables contained in the word. Once they have made their decision, get them to make the corresponding animal pose! A great way to get student brains warmed up and their bodies moving!
