How to play the Game!
1. Split students into groups of four (groups can be bigger than 4 but for a more effective game it is better to keep the groups around 4).
2. Place the deck of syllable cards in the middle of the table.
3. Have 1 students pick up a card and hide it from their peers.
4. EXAMPLE: Below is the picture of the student’s syllable card.
5. The student with the card will then decide how many syllables the word has
a. So butterfly has 3 syllables
6. After the student has decided how many syllables are in the word they will then start to give the other students at the table clues
7. The student will start off with I SPY a word with 3 syllables and has wings.
8. The student will continue to give clues tell the other students at the table have figured the word out
9. Through out the game if students call out the wrong word then have them say why it would be the wrong word
10. Who ever guesses the word correctly gets the card. Who ever has the most card at the end of the game wins
