These FREE counting syllables activities are great for developing phonological awareness. They’re great for a space themed unit in Preschool, PreK and Kindergarten too!
Space Counting Syllables Activities
In my class I use body taps to teach syllables. I began this activity by laying out the rockets. Next I showed one picture card at a time and asked what it was. After that I asked my students to body beat the word to show how many syllables there were. Finally I asked a student to place the picture below the corresponding rocket.
Here is a video I found that illustrates a syllable game with the body beating technique I prefer to use.
You can grab your free space syllable mats and picture cards by clicking on the download button at the bottom of this page.
If you are doing a space theme in your class, you may also be interested in my space math centers.
