The students went on a bear hunt in the classroom these past few days where they were hunting for syllables! I taped some images of bears that had pictures that illustrated a word with either one, two, or three syllables to the walls and cabinets around the classroom.

 

Students took a clipboard with a worksheet attached and tried to find twelve different bears to use to identify how many syllables each word had. This activity was great because it got the students moving; they practiced writing, and they were counting syllables!

 

 

They looked at the image, clapped the syllables, and then wrote the word in the correct category.

Here is what the worksheet looks like:

 The students enjoyed the activity so much that many asked to finish during Choice Time! I’d say that’s a sure sign of a successful activity! (Activity from Christine Lamb, Teachers Pay Teachers)
