Syllable Singing

Tomorrow we will finish our testing -- Yahoo!! In between testing, we have played some really fun games. This game is called Syllable Singing -- one person leaves the room, and they are "it." The rest of the class decides on a word with 3 or more syllables. Depending on how many syllables the word has, you need to split the class into that many groups and each group says a syllable of the word. For instance, if the word was October, one group will say "Oc" the next group will say "to" and the third group will say "ber." Then when the "it" person comes back in, the class begins to sing their part of the word to a familiar tune like "Row, Row, Row Your Boat." The "it" student needs to listen to everyone and see if they can figure out what the word is. My little darlin's loved this game!
