Syllable Scramble OBJECTIVE: LitCampers divide multisyllabic words into syllables, putting them back together, and blending them to read words. Review the Skill Remind campers that words are made up of parts called syllables . Say: Each syllable contains one vowel sound. Being able to identify different types of syllables can help you pronounce and read longer words. Display words such as forgotten, underneath, and triangle to review different types of syllables. Say: When I want to break longer words into syllables, I look for letters that help me identify different types of syllables. In the word forgotten, I see the letters or. This helps me know that the first syllable includes an r -controlled vowel. Continue by identifying the closed syllables in the rest of the word.

Teams take turns choosing a word from their list and displaying the word’s cut-apart syllables in random order. 2. The opposing team unscrambles the syllables and puts them in the correct order, writes the word, then blends the syllables to read the word. 3. Teams score one point for each syllable in each word they correctly unscramble and read. The team with more points after three rounds wins the game. 4. For an extra challenge, set a time limit for each answer or have teams unscramble as many words as they can in two minutes. 14 7.7
