Counting Syllables

Today we played the syllable game. She or I would pick a word, and then we would clap as we said each "syllable" (new word for her). How many times did we clap? we would ask, and she or I would answer. It was a great game, because it was a lot of fun to her, it reinforced counting skills AND memory skills - she had to remember the sound of the clapping to know how many syllables were in the word. And she learned what a syllable is.
