Picture flashcards with a visual prompt identifying the number of syllables in each word.
Students will be shown a card and have to tap the syllables of the word on their body.
Tip: Often body taps are much easier for the students to do as compared to hand claps - sometimes the claps continue long after the word has ended!
Body taps work like this:
- 1 syllable - tap head
- 2 syllables - tap head, shoulders
- 3 syllables - tap head, shoulders, hips
- 4 syllables - tap head, shoulders, hips, knees.
