These worksheets will challenge students to identify one, two and three syllable words. They will enjoy practising syllable segmentation and recognition while navigating a maze to reach a treasure chest.

How to Complete:

1. Students begin in the grey square, saying each word aloud to identify whether it matches the target number of syllables.
2. They colour images that match the set number of syllables to create a path.
3. If students’ syllable segmentation is correct, the path they create will lead them to the treasure chest.

Additional Tips:

1. Model how to count syllables by clapping or tapping for each word.
2. Allow students to jump, clap, or stomp for each syllable.
3. To support students, offer examples of similar words and practise counting syllables together.

Extension Ideas:

1. Expand Vocabulary: Encourage students to list other one, two or three syllable words and illustrate them to create a personalised syllable grid or maze.
2. Incorporate Movement: Add a kinaesthetic component by having students jump or clap for each syllable as they work through the maze.

These worksheets provide an interactive way for students to practise syllable segmentation and are ideal to complete in small groups or independently.
