Add a little pumpkin-picking fun to syllable practice with this hands-on Pumpkin Syllable Game! Children will collect fall and pumpkin picture cards from a sensory bin, say each word and sort it into the correct cup based on whether it has 1, 2 or 3 syllables.
For an extra-fun sensory experience, laminate the cards and attach a paper clip to each one. Children can use a magnetic wand to pull the pictures from the bin before sorting them. Two printable farmer images are included to attach to the wand, making it look like the farmers are picking pumpkins from the patch!
No magnetic wand? No problem. Children can use their hands to find the cards or complete the syllable game at a table without a sensory bin. Each picture includes the written word underneath, so you’ll never have to guess what an image represents.
This Printable Includes:
- 15 fall and pumpkin picture cards
- Words with 1, 2 and 3 syllables
- Three sorting labels for cups or containers
- Two printable child images for decorating magnetic wands
- Easy-to-follow instructions
Use this syllable game in literacy centers, small groups, morning tubs, sensory bins, independent practice or homeschool learning. It gives children a playful way to practice listening for word parts, counting syllables and sorting words.
