These fun and interactive worksheets are designed to help students develop phonological awareness by identifying and counting syllables in words. With a focus on animals, students can practise segmenting words into syllables and visually representing them using stamps or colouring in the circles.

How to Complete:

1. Students begin by observing each animal illustration in the first column.
2. Students say the name of the animal clearly and slowly to hear the syllables.
3. Using stamps, bingo daubers, stickers, or colouring utensils, students mark one circle for each syllable in the corresponding row. We have included two versions, blank circles and numbered circles to suit the needs of your students.

Additional Tips:

1. Model how to count syllables by clapping or tapping for each animal name before students work independently.
2. Allow students to jump, clap, or stomp for each syllable to make the activity more engaging.
3. To support students, offer examples of similar words and practise counting syllables together.

Extension Ideas:

1. Animal Word Chart: Ask students to brainstorm other animal names, classify them by syllables, and create a chart to display their work.
2. Creative Storytelling: Have students write or orally share a short story using the animals from the worksheet, identifying the syllables in their new words as they go.

This set of Stamping Syllables worksheets provide an engaging and tactile way to build students’ understanding of syllables while incorporating a fun animal theme.
